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.

A Lovely Walk into Anne Frank’s Life The tour was just the right length - a couple of hours. The tour guide, Ollie, was extremely knowledgeable about Anne Frank and her life. Despite the sad nature of her history, he brought her to life in a positive, hopeful manner and really provided a lot of insights into her story. I really like the way he incorporated excerts from her diary into the tour. Well with the time .

Martina - the best tour guide I had an unforgettable experience on the Anne Frank walking tour, made truly exceptional by our guide, Martina. She was absolutely brilliant — eloquent, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful in the way she shared every part of the story. You could tell she genuinely cared about the history, and that passion made every moment of the tour feel meaningful. Martina explained everything with such clarity and depth. She didn’t just recite facts; she connected them to personal stories, historical context, and emotional moments that brought the past to life. Her delivery was elaborate yet never overwhelming, and she struck the perfect balance between informative and heartfelt. Every stop felt intentional, every detail carefully chosen, and every explanation grounded in respect for Anne Frank’s legacy. The tour itself was powerful, but Martina’s storytelling made it extraordinary. She guided us through the neighbourhood with grace, painting a vivid picture of what life looked like for Anne and her family. Her eloquence, empathy, and ability to make complex history feel human and accessible left a lasting impact. I absolutely loved the experience. It was emotional, educational, and beautifully paced — and Martina’s expertise and warmth made it one of the most memorable tours I’ve ever done.

I went in to this tour thinking I’d be disappointed because I thought I booked for the actual Anne Frank House museum! But I was immediately impressed with our tour guide Yoshi who captured our attention with amazing stories of history and facts that made us feel we were taken back into time. Highly recommend Yoshi if you can get him! Such a great tour and have a whole new perspective of the story of Anne Frank I thought I knew.

Hicimos el tour por el barrio judío con Reinaldo y no podria haber sido mejor. Tiene un conocimiento profundo del tema y no escatima en explicaciones. La visita se alargó bastante más de lo previsto pero allí nadie teniamos prisa. Muy recomendable.
