"Black Heritage Tours founder Jennifer Tosch is on a one-woman mission to shed light on the presence, and little told past, of the African diaspora in the Netherlands (she’s now added tours in NYC and, by request, Brussels). Rigorous, interactive three-hour boat trips are the big draw, luring two to 90 people via celebrities like activist and author Angela Davis (average group size is 10-20 guests). Eye-opening is the word here. Once you’ve been alerted to the hidden past of Amsterdam’s beautiful Golden Age museums and canal houses, you’ll start seeing signs of the city’s sinful colonial legacy everywhere. A visit to the Rijksmuseum (usually included) or Royal Palace won’t be the same again. Definitely book ahead—especially outside of summer, when trips are less frequent." - Clodagh Kinsella

We've had the honour to learn from Jennifer over three years. She has expertly led 4 groups of our undergraduate students through her various tours. Her incredibly well-researched tours offer a vital look into too-often overlooked histories. Engaging, funny, brilliant! Everyone should experience Black Heritage Tour of Amsterdam. Thank-you Jennifer!

I recently experienced the Black Heritage Boat Tour in Amsterdam for the second time, and I must say, it was just as captivating—if not more so—than my first voyage. This tour is an absolute must for tourists and those residing in the Netherlands who wish to uncover a profound layer of the city's history through a unique lens. Jennifer, the guide, is a phenomenal storyteller. She weaves historical facts with compelling narratives that vividly bring the past to life before your eyes. Her passion and profound understanding of Amsterdam's black heritage infuse each moment on the boat with educational enrichment and deep emotional resonance. What sets this tour apart is its ability to present a narrative often overlooked by conventional tours. It offers a deeper understanding of Amsterdam's past, including insights about black people throughout Dutch history. Whether it's your first time or, like me, you're returning to deepen your understanding, the Black Heritage Boat Tour is an invaluable experience. It's not just a tour; it's an essential educational journey facilitated by the exceptional Jennifer, whose storytelling will leave you enlightened and eager to learn more about Amsterdam's hidden histories.
