Description

Travel back to the dark days of World War II on a 1-hour walking tour of Amsterdam, and learn what life was like following the occupation of the Netherlands by the Germans in 1940-1945 and how Anne Frank became an icon of the brutality of suppression.

Your guide will bring the history to life, giving you a sense of how the city’s citizens behaved during the occupation, and how they moved around in times of horror.

Discover locations the Dutch resistance offered as secret hiding places to families like the Franks. The tour ends at the National Monument at Dam Square. The Anne Frank’s House is not included.
