  Friendly American tour guide who was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone really wanting to learn about Amsterdam before and during the war.

  Not sure how this is top rated. Guide turned up late and was rather blasé about keeping the group waiting. Got the impression they had somewhere else they want3d to... read more be. The rest of the tour felt rushed and like the guide was going through the motions. Would have been better just walking around the area myself.

  Ugh. We were given a tour of the city, but not much that really related to the Jews. The guide was not terribly knowledgeable--just a visiting student from England... read more whose studies don't include Jewish or Dutch History. Also, the guide gave misinformation about visiting the Portuguese synagogue (she said it was not open for visiting when it is actually part of the Jewish Museum ticket) and she didn't take us into the synagogue or the museum, both of which are spectacular. They weren't even mentioned as options. The guide also failed to mention the Holocaust Memorial Wall by Libeskind, one block away from the tour starting point, but she did take us to the much less impressive spiegel memorial located in a dog park. Watching the dogs was, in truth, the best part of the tour. Most of the old Jewish quarter was destroyed so there really is quite little to see on the long walk to the Anne Frank house (which we didn't see because the inside is not part of the tour). There appear to be other excellent Jewish tours in Amsterdam.
Don't spend your money on this one.

  Such an interesting historical tour about the Jewish people and World War 2.

We got only half the tour we paid for. We were only in Amsterdam for a day, and it was absolutely disappointing to be stuck driving around the city instead of visiting places we wanted to visit.
