One of the best things about Amsterdam is how ‘gezellig’ people are – how people try to make every social situation, even with strangers, as friendly and convivial as possible. We do that in all our tours, even with tours with such difficult stories as the Holocaust. You will most likely make connections on our tours with other tour-goers, which can help make looking at the unbearable bearable. Come learn and enjoy with us!
