Anne Frank Walking Tour

Walk through Amsterdam with a professional guide who shows you Amsterdam during the second world war, through the eyes of Anne Frank. The tour goes from the Jewish Quarter to Anne Frank’s House, for the complete storyline of these dark days.

Description

Travel back to the dark days of World War II on a 2 or 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. Hear the story about her diary and how it came to be published by her father Otto Frank.

Meet your guide close to Waterloo Square. Stroll past monuments and buildings still marked by traces of war. 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.

Learn why the Dutch tried to co-exist with the occupying army, and how the Dutch behaved towards the Jews of Amsterdam like Anne Frank. Hear about several important events, such as the February Strike and Winter of Hunger.

Visit the Jewish neighborhood, with its Portuguese synagoge and museum, the Hollandsche schouwburg, and the head office of the Jewish counsel. Discover locations the Dutch resistance offered as secret hiding places to families like the Franks. The tour ends at Anne Frank’s House, admission is not included.

Ideal for fans of European history, the tour also gives an insight into how the Jewish community lived, survived and still thrive in Amsterdam.

Hicimos el tour de Ana Frank por el barrio judío. Jonathan ha sido un excelente guía. Explicó todo con una gran claridad, conocimiento y pasión. Se nota que le apasiona su trabajo y lo transmite. Sin duda se tomó el tiempo e interés en que tuviéramos una maravillosa experiencia. Gracias Jonathan.

Abbiamo partecipato al tour a piedi di Amsterdam e del Quartiere Ebraico legato alla storia di Anna Frank con Petra ed è stata un'esperienza straordinaria. Petra è una guida incredibilmente preparata, coinvolgente e sensibile. Riuscire a raccontare una storia così toccante ed emozionante senza mai risultare pesante è un vero talento, e lei ci è riuscita alla perfezione. Ci ha fatto scoprire angoli della città ricchi di storia che da soli non avremmo mai notato, arricchendo il percorso con aneddoti precisi e un grande rispetto per il tema trattato. Consiglio questo tour a chiunque visiti Amsterdam e voglia comprendere davvero l'anima e la storia di questa città. Grazie ancora a Petra per la bellissima giornata!
