Jewish History Tour
Amsterdam Jewish History
The Amsterdam Jewish History Tour is a moving and intruiging tour in the former Jewish Quarter a very special part of town. Amsterdam VIP Tours offers tailormade tours, to your wishes and comfort.
What will you see?
On the Jewish History Tour you will see the former Jewish District, the huge Jewish Portuguese synagogue and visit the Jewish Historical Museum. You will listen to the stories of the Second World War in Amsterdam, when Amsterdam lost about 10% of it’s population.
If desired, the tour can include a visit to the following Jewish museums; the Portuguese Synagoge, Jewish Historical Museum and Hollandsche Schouwburg.
Where will the tour go?
When your hotel is in the Amsterdam city center, it is possible the guide can meet you at your hotel to start the tour from there. Another option is to meet at a meetingpoint near the former Jewish district. When you want to include a Jewish History Tour in a regular Amsterdam tour, that is of course also possible.
Can you combine the Anne Frank House with the Jewish History tour?
You might want to combine the Jewish History Tour with a visit to the Anne Frank House during your stay. However take into consideration that the Anne Frank House is on the other side of town. So it can very well be an option to visit the Anne Frank House another time / day by yourself. Make sure to get your tickets in time as these tickets sell out quickly!

Stumble Stones
Stumbling stones’ (Stolpersteine in German) are a Holocaust memorial. These 4 inch² brass plaques indicates Holocaust victim’s, date of birth, date of arrest, camp(s) deported to and fate. They are placed in front of the victims last home.
These ‘Stumble stones’ can also be found in Amsterdam. Especially in the former Jewish district you might ‘stumble’ upon them.
The project was initiated by the German Gunter Demnig in 1994 to commemorate the all Holocaust victims.
Interested to find some of these stones and stumble yourself over history? Your Amsterdam VIP Tourguide will show you Amsterdam stuble stones during the walk in the former Jewish District.

What our clients say about us...
“This tour was a wonderful experience for my dad and I who traveled all the way from New Jersey. Chantel was amazing and taught us so much about Amsterdam and its history. She was very accommodating and we even went on a boat tour with her and a skipper where we explored most of the city which was amazing. Overall, we were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.”
– Jessica Brenner, USA
