  • Skip-the-line tickets to the Jewish allow you to enter faster without purchasing tickets on the spot, but you may have to wait in line for ticket validation and mandatory security checks. Tickets include admission to the permanent collection, excluding temporary exhibitions.
  • The Portuguese Synagogue is an active place of worship so interior tours are limited during scheduled events. The synagogue is closed for visitors on Saturdays and most Jewish holidays. At such times, you will only see it from the outside.
  • The walking tour begins near the Anne Frank House Museum. Tickets can be purchased separately at the ticket deck or through the museum’s website. The museum is usually open every day from 9 AM to 8 PM, so we recommend booking an afternoon tour to give yourself enough time to explore the museum in the morning if you wish.

Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and can take longer or shorter depending on the location of your accommodation in Amsterdam.

The guide will meet you at the meeting point.
  • In Amsterdam, the rule is that a licensed guide can show a group of 1-15 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide. For 16-30 people we will provide service of 2 licensed guides. For 31-45 people we will provide service of 3 licensed guides.

No-show.... - Disappointing experience with this tour company. The guide failed to show up, leaving us stranded and without the promised service. Even worse, attempts to contact the company were met with silence, adding frustration to the situation. It felt like a waste of money and time. After a day of waiting, we finally received an apology and hopefully a refund. However, the lack of professionalism and communication has left a sour taste, and I wouldn't consider booking with this company again in the future.
