Through the immortalized voice of Anne Frank in her diary, children will enjoy what it is to be a kid living in the Netherlands: her streets, her parks, her city, HER STORY.
This is the only tour in Amsterdam to share the story of a young girl. an outgoing, spirited child who loved to play with her friends, and that it is known that got into far more trouble than her serious older sister ever did.
Anne was a girl that loved to tell stories and dreamt of someday becoming a famous author. In this tour, our librarian Lotte will show you Amsterdam through the everlasting spirit of childlike wonder, resilience, and how it is that dreams do come true.
The tour includes a workshop on writing and keeping a diary. Whether your child is a confident writer and struggles to get his/her ideas down on the page. Our relaxed approach nurtures and inspires young writers to keep on telling stories.
