Anne Frank and the Jewish Quarter Food Tour (opens in a new tab)

3 h

This is a fully private tour — only your group participates. No other guests will join. This tour combines two of the most popular experiences in Amsterdam: Jewish history tours focused on Anne Frank, and local food tours. Instead of booking these separately, you get both in one — a rich, meaningful experience that blends culture, history, and taste. You'll explore the Jewish Quarter, learn about Anne Frank and the Holocaust, and enjoy a variety of Dutch and Jewish (including Amsterdam-Jewish) snacks. It’s a historical walking tour where you won’t go hungry — and where food itself becomes part of the storytelling. The tastings connect you to the daily lives, traditions, and resilience of the people whose history we explore. Thoughtfully designed to be both respectful and engaging.

Designed with Canadian moms and their kids in mind, the route weaves through the city's most storied neighbourhoods: from the grand Beurs van Berlage and the photogenic Damrak waterfront to a hidden attic church, a medieval weigh house, a canal-side book market, and a Golden Age palace on Dam Square.

Your expert local guide brings each cobblestone and canal to life with stories that keep adults fascinated and children engaged — no crowds, just quality time in one of Europe's most beautiful cities.

Private Tour to Zaanse Schans Windmills from Amsterdam (opens in a new tab)

3 h – 4 h

On a private tour, you decide when to arrive: early, while the mills are opening and the paths are still quiet, or later, once the groups have gone. The difference is what you hear along the way. Inside a historic house, you'll see the cupboard beds built into the walls, where whole families slept almost upright. At the clog workshop, you'll learn why a young man once spent weeks carving and painting a pair for his bride — and how you could judge him by the result. You'll discover the story behind the oorijzer, the silver ornament worn beneath a woman's cap, which told everyone which village she came from and what her family could afford. And you'll learn to read the language of the mills — how millers signalled to each other across the fields before telephones existed. How long you spend at each stop is entirely up to you. Some guests want the mills and nothing else; others linger over the food or walk along the river, where nobody goes.
