This private walking tour in Amsterdam lasts about three hours and covers the Jewish history of the city, focusing on Anne Frank's story. The guide begins at the Portuguese Synagogue, explaining its role as a museum and an active place of worship. The tour moves to the Jewish Historical Museum area, where you will see the four synagogues that are part of the museum complex. Next, hear about the 1941 February strike against Nazi occupation at the Dokwerker monument. You will pass the Hortus Botanicus, one of Amsterdam's oldest botanical gardens, and visit Wertheimpark to see the Auschwitz Memorial. The walk continues through the Plantage neighborhood, a notable part of the canal district. The tour includes a stop near ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, where the guide will share stories of people who hid there during World War II. At the Holocaust Namenmonument, you will enter the memorial walls engraved with over 100,000 names of Jewish victims. The route continues to Dam Square, where you will see the Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk. At Westerkerk, the church and tower visible from Anne Frank's hiding place, the guide will point out the carillon bells that ring every 15 minutes. The tour concludes at the Anne Frank House, where you view the building from outside and learn about its connection to the secret annex and neighborhood. If tickets are available and booked in advance, the guide will assist with entry; otherwise, a virtual reality experience of the house is offered as an alternative. The tour includes a private guide, one of Amsterdam's best apple pies with coffee or tea, and an optional tram ride. No extra purchases are needed except admission to the Jewish Historical Museum, which is not included.
