Overview

Experience an immersive walking tour that brings Anne Frank’s storey to life as you explore the city’s most beautiful historic neighbourhoods.

We begin in the elegant Jewish Quarter, where quiet streets reveal how the Nazi occupation reshaped daily life. Your guide will uncover the machinery of oppression: propaganda, razzias, and the brave resistance that refused to stay silent.

Through vivid storytelling, you’ll follow Anne Frank’s early years in Amsterdam, her love of writing, and the dreams she poured into her diary. You’ll gain a deeper sense of what life in hiding meant: the fear, the silence, and the fragile hope that continues to inspire the world.

Along the way, we visit memorials and historic sites that honour those whose lives were forever changed by the Holocaust, creating a moving journey through one of Amsterdam’s most defining chapters.

Secure your spot and step into history.

Please note: this tour does not include entry to the Anne Frank House
