Private Anna 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-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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Verified Amazing Tour Such an informative and fascinating guided tour; Daniel was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable, and able to answer all our questions. The small group aspect meant it was a great chance to get to know those we were walking with from all around the world, and we left so much more informed on Anne Frank and the Jewish community in Amsterdam more broadly. Thank you Daniel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo appena finito il tour di Anna Frank con Petra, che è stata una guida eccezionale durante il tour che ci ha portati dalla Sinagoga Ebraica fino alla sua casa, in realtà la casa "rifugio". La sua preparazione è stata evidente fin dai primi istanti: ogni dettaglio storico è stato affrontato con precisione e chiarezza, senza mai risultare dispersivo o noioso. Petra ha saputo coinvolgere il nostro piccolo gruppo con una narrazione appassionante, rendendo viva una storia tanto importante e commovente. La sua capacità di collegare i luoghi visitati alla vita di Anna Frank e al contesto storico dell'epoca è stata davvero notevole. Inoltre, è stata attenta alle nostre domande e disponibile per approfondire ogni aspetto. Un'esperienza che consigliamo a chiunque voglia comprendere davvero la storia dietro questi luoghi, grazie a una guida preparata, empatica e coinvolgente.

 Verified An excellent and informative tour of the history of Anne Frank Our tour of Amsterdam, focusing on the Jewish history and the life of Anne Frank, was both enlightening and poignant. Nicole, our guide, brought a deep knowledge and sensitivity to the subject, allowing us to connect with the historical significance of each location. As we walked through the streets and visited key sites, her storytelling painted a vivid picture of Anne’s life and the broader context of Jewish experiences during World War II. Nicole’s thoughtful approach made the experience memorable, enhancing our understanding of this important chapter in history. An excellent tour guide. Thank you.
