2 hours · Private guide · Outdoor history tour

Walk in the footsteps of Anne Frank and explore the human side of WWII in Amsterdam.
This private tour connects the story of the Frank family to the broader experience of the city during Nazi occupation — with stops in the Jewish Quarter, the Portuguese Synagogue, and Resistance Memorials.

Led by a local guide with over 10 years of experience, you’ll dive deeper into stories of migration, persecution, courage, and survival. The tour ends outside the Anne Frank House, with context that will stay with you long after.
