Overview

Learn more about Anne Frank & the Jewish History of Amsterdam in this Private Tour

Travel back in time to the 16th century when Amsterdam became a safe place for Jewish families fleeing Southern & Eastern Europe. Wander with our guide through the Jewish quarter and see the famous landmarks. Discover the awful stories of families who were hiding from the Germans in WWII and feel the tense atmosphere from that period of the war. Hear how hundreds of Jewish children were saved from deportation and explore the beautiful Jewish district. Learn about Anne Frank and see the Westerkerk and Anne Frank House from the outside.

At the end of the tour, you will have the opportunity to enter the house (unguided). If you book 7 weeks or more in advance we guarantee to get you tickets for the house. If booked less than 7 weeks, we offer an alternative way to explore the house via a Virtual Reality experience if we are unsuccessful in securing tickets.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I booked two months in advance, have emails confirming tickets to Anne Frank were secured and the day before my tour it was canceled and they refused to still provide the tickets to Anne Frank. Yet, their site was still promoting the tour as potentially available and including tickets, for almost double the price I paid, which was already a high cost. It is a SCAM! The concierge from my hotel has never heard of this company and spoke to them to help me and was not able to resolve this either because they obviously LIED about securing the tickets to Anne Frank. AVOID this company at all costs!!!!!!!!! They will comment on this review to provide another LIE about their guide canceling, but that does not explain why they can’t still provide the tickets to the Anne Frank house. Any guide company worth using has access to multiple guides in a city, it’s clear they don’t have the Anne Frank tickets and just canceled/claimed to refund the tour. Just STAY AWAY from this company!!!!!

I have been to Amsterdam and visited the Anne Frank House before. I highly recommend adding this tour, it added a lot of context and richness to the experience. Our guide was excellent, I would do this tour again during a future visit.

The walking tour is a good orientation of Amsterdam for us as we arrived on the first day. The guide is knowledgeable and given us many insights and tips of local culture in food, and places to be careful etc…. It is overall good with a good end to the Anne frank museum tour.

Connie, our Tour Guide was awesome. She sought to understand our goals. She exceeded our expectations. This tour dealt with events that are tragic, yet need to be understood and never allowed to recur. We learned so much and are able to recommend it for anyone who seeks to enhance their knowledge.
