794 reviews

Built to protect Amsterdam and the other coastal towns from flooding by the sea, the Afsluitdijk or Enclosing Dike is an amazing feat of Dutch engineering. Stretching 20 miles (32 kilometers across the water, Afsluitdijk is both a dam and a motorway connecting the province of Noord-Holland with Friesland. The damming of the sea also created a freshwater lake called the Ijsselmeer.

Westerbork Concentration Camp from Amsterdam - A Private Tour

Westerbork Concentration Camp from Amsterdam - A Private Tour

Have you visited the Anne Frank House? Now you can follow her story to Westerbork Concentration Camp. Here we widen our scope from this one family to the 102000 Jews and 245 Roma deported through this camp to the death camps in Germany. The core of this tour is a 3 hour visit to the Westerbork Camp and its Remembrance center. Because of driving times to Westerbork we have added stops half way for interest and relaxation. Total tour time from start to finish is 8-9 hours. We start at Anne Frank's original house in Amsterdam and half way on the road to Westerbork we visit another hideout, the Hidden Village in the woods at Vierhouten. On the way back we take the route across the Closure Dam so you can see one of the great waterworks of the Netherlands.

The beauty of Dutch Technology
A leisurely boat ride through the canals of Geithoorn allowed us to see the beautiful houses and gardens. The enclosing dike was a marvel to see and experience first hand.

Enchanting
Giethoorn is beautiful village. Loved the boat ride around the canals and lake. The enclosing dyke was also very interesting.

Cute village
Maria was an ok guide. Did not feel she spoke well enough for good info. But nice person. Giethoorn is super cute though. So totally makes up for the lackluster guide.

Enjoyed the ride over the enclosing dike. Our second visit to Gieethoorn, so we knew what to expect. Great village, WAY TOO CROWDED for Covid risks, big mistake on our part!
