Fantastic historical walk We had a wonderful and deeply moving experience on the Anne Frank walking tour in Amsterdam with our guide, Genevieve. Genevieve was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful in the way she brought Anne Frank’s story and the history of Amsterdam during World War II to life. She shared fascinating historical details while also giving us time to reflect on the places and stories we encountered along the way. The tour was very well paced, informative without feeling overwhelming, and gave us a much deeper understanding of Anne’s life and the history surrounding her story. Genevieve’s passion and sensitivity really made the experience special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Thank you, Genevieve, for such a memorable and meaningful experience!

Never forget Those who do not learn from history are fated to repeat it. Our fantastic guide Genevieve gave us one of the best historical tours we have ever experienced. All the back stories made an already compelling story more vivid, more relevant, and more visceral. Thank you for a mind-opening experience.

Must Do in Amsterdam I couldn’t imagine visiting Amsterdam without taking this tour. Our guide, Manuel, was incredible and told the stories of Jewish persecution in a very touching and somber way. A heartfelt experience.

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.
