Private walking tour in Amsterdam: Hidden Stories, Coffee & Anne Frank in VR Overview

This is not a typical private walking tour. It’s a personal journey through Amsterdam’s soul — just for you and your group.

Led by Antonis, a passionate guide and storyteller, you’ll explore WWII resistance stories, leaning houses, quiet canals, and hidden corners of the Red Light District. Expect real stories, big questions, warm laughter, and a few surprises along the way.

Halfway through, we’ll pause for a cozy coffee break (included!) with a local sweet. The tour ends with an optional, high-quality VR visit to the Anne Frank House — a moving and intimate experience you won’t forget.

Approx. 3 hours total → 2 hours walking → 1 hour coffee & VR break

Walking Pace

Relaxed. With time for questions, laughter, and reflection.

Good to Know

• The VR is optional and shared — there’s just one headset. But this moment is far from passive. While one person explores the Anne Frank House virtually, the rest of us talk. This is often when the real questions come: about the war, about what they’re seeing, about Amsterdam today. We exchange thoughts, share feelings, and even go over local tips — from favorite restaurants to how the Dutch manage to live below sea level. It’s a time for reflection, connection, and conversation. • The tour is outdoors, but we adapt to weather (bring an umbrella just in case)
