This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

We're the only walking tour in Amsterdam covering the full 500 year story of the city's Jewish community, from 1593 to today, not just the Holocaust years most tours focus on.

The guides are well-educated in this history and trained to bring it to life through personal stories, not just facts and dates.

And we keep groups small, a maximum of 12 travelers, so everyone can hear, ask questions, and actually connect with the guide and each other.
