    Amazing Jewish History Tour

    "Sebastian was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of Amsterdam's history runs deep, and his passionate connection to his city is obvious in everything he shares. This was our second tour with him, and he did not disappoint — he brought the history of Amsterdam and Jewish culture to life in a way that was smart, engaging, and genuinely moving. He has so much to offer, and he was the highlight of our time in Amsterdam. He's a total rockstar — we wouldn't hesitate to book him for a third tour and recommend him wholeheartedly!"

    Great Tour With Kurtis

    "Kurt Grimes did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the Jewish people in Amsterdam while walking us through town. He did it in a thoughtful, honest, gentle way that helped us appreciate a very delicate topic. Kurt is very knowledgeable and handled our questions well. He went on to show us the city and point out highlights that we can explore over the balance of our vacation. We enjoyed it immensely. Tim and Pat Canada"

    Wunderschöne Grachtenfahrt durch Amsterdam

    "Frederic ist ein sehr charmanter Fremdenführer, der uns mit seinem wendigen kleinen Boot auch durch die schmalsten Grachten mit tollen Aussichten gefahren hat. Wir haben viele interessante Informationen über die Grachten, Bauweise der Häuser und das Leben in der Altstadt erfahren. Mit einem Getränk in der Hand haben wir die 1,5 stündige Tour sehr genossen und waren sehr froh, dass das in so angenehmer Atmosphäre und privat möglich war. Ganz herzlichen Dank an Frederic. Die ganze Familie mit 3 Generationen hat es sehr viel Freude gemacht. "

    Perfect moring in Amsterdam

    "Our family of four had a fantastic experience with Frederick. He communicated well prior to our tour, confirming take and pick-up location and was at the dock, waiting for us the morning of the tour. The boat is absolutely charming, and we enjoyed coffee and pastry along the tour. Frederick was very friendly and full of such interesting knowledge about Amsterdam. We all learned so much, and seeing the city from the quiet, morning canals was really a special experience. It was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam!"

He answered all of our many questions throughout the day and has vast amount of knowledge in many different topics surrounding Amsterdam. "

Understanding Anne Frank’s Amsterdam

Anne Frank’s diary gives us a powerful personal perspective. But with a local guide, you’ll gain insight into the city that shaped her story—from daily life before the war to the impact of Nazi occupation. These thoughtful reads offer historical context, human stories, and reasons why a private tour brings deeper meaning.

  • The Anne Frank House isn’t the only place to learn her story.

    The museum is moving—but the full story spans beyond it. A private guide can show you Anne’s school, her family’s old neighborhood, and places tied to the Jewish community in WWII Amsterdam.

  • The Jewish Quarter reveals a bigger picture.

    From the Hollandsche Schouwburg to the Resistance Museum, your guide connects Anne’s personal story to the wider history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community—and how it was forever changed.

  • There’s space to reflect—without the crowds.

    A private tour allows time for reflection, conversation, and moments of pause. Unlike group tours, it’s personal and paced in a way that respects the sensitivity of the subject.

  • Yes, locals still feel the story today.

    Many Dutch families have personal connections to WWII history. Your guide may share stories passed down through generations, adding a layer of humanity that goes beyond facts and dates.

  • There’s more to the story than hiding.

    Anne’s story is about courage, resilience, and hope. A thoughtful guide will help you explore these themes across the places you visit, while also honoring the loss and injustice of the era.

  • The Portuguese Synagogue is a powerful place of memory.

    Still active today, this synagogue offers a connection to the Jewish community that existed long before the war. A local guide can explain its role in Amsterdam’s history and what it represents now.

  • It’s okay to ask questions on a private tour.

    Whether you’re curious, emotional, or unsure, your guide is there for a human conversation. A private experience offers the freedom to explore the story in a way that feels right for you.

  • The Resistance Museum adds another layer.

    Many Anne Frank tours can include or end near this museum, which highlights brave acts by Dutch citizens who resisted Nazi rule. Your guide can add personal stories to help these events come alive.

  • Even small plaques hold big meaning.

    Look down and you may see 'stumbling stones'—tiny brass plaques honoring victims of the Holocaust. Your guide will help you spot and understand them, making sure no story is forgotten.

  • This isn’t just a history tour—it’s a human one.

    With the right guide, this tour becomes more than facts—it becomes a shared moment of remembrance, awareness, and hope. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the past and its relevance today.
