We took the Anne Frank tour yesterday in Amsterdam and it was a truly moving experience. Our guide was excellent — knowledgeable, respectful, and incredibly engaging. They shared powerful historical context and personal stories that made Anne Frank’s life and the history of the city feel very real and human. The tour was well paced and thoughtfully done, and it gave us a much deeper understanding than we would’ve had on our own. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Our guide showed us buildings where other families were hiding in Amsterdam and told stories I hadn't heard before. Without him, I wouldn't have experienced the city and the horrors of war with such intesity. The city is so picturesque that you can't imagine what life was like back then. Thank you to our guide

The walking tour with commentary in my native language was very informative and allows you to see Amsterdam from a different perspective. And the cruise on Amsterdam's canals allows you to navigate these famous canals that surround the city and gives a more relaxing feel to your vacation.
