The tour was a very good experience. The guide was at all times concerned to explain the key aspects of each sector of the tour and with great kindness. Excellent alternative to get to know the city and at the same time, learn about the history of the community.

Our guide, Claire, was knowledgeable, interested and friendly. The group was small - about 8 - and there was plenty of time to ask questions

Your experience

Viewing Amsterdam through the eyes of Anne Frank

This guided tour will take you back in time to Amsterdam during the days of World War II. Your multilingual guide will navigate you past old monuments and buildings that still hold traces of war. Learn about how the citizens of the city struggled during this troubling time as your guide tells you all about the Winter of Hunger and the February Strike. Continue to walk through the Jewish neighborhood at your own pace and notice the Portuguese synagogue and museum, one of the most important legacies of the Jewish community in Amsterdam. See also the Hollandsche Schouwburg theater, which was converted into a deportation center during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. You'll also spot the head office of the Jewish counsel along the way.

A story of bravery and resilience

While you stroll through the Jewish neighborhood, listen to your multilingual guide as they share stories about the Dutch resistance and Anne Frank's life. Visit the places that were frequented by young Anne before she was forced into seclusion with her family. Your guide will give you insights into what her life was like during the 2 years she was in hiding in the Secret Annex.
