Nous avons apprécié les connaissances du guide, les lieux visités et les commentaires. Cependant, nous avons été très déçus de ne pas avoir visité la maison où résidaient Anne Frank et sa famille. L'histoire d'Anne Frank vous a permis d'organiser ce tours. Ce n'est pas ce que nous recherchions en réservant ce tours. Nous voulions visiter la maison.

I loved learning about the Jewish history in Amsterdam. It wasn't what I expected, but my husband and I enjoyed it and got to see a different part of the city we hadn't been to before.

Le parcours sur les traces d'Anne Frank est fort bien détaillé et bien soutenu par les riches commentaires de Xavier. Il nous a bien fait revivre l'installation des Juifs en Hollande et le triste sort qu'ils ont subi avec le Nazisme. La famille Frank en est le fil conducteur. Un seul regret : l'annulation de la visite de la maison d'Anne Frank peu de temps avant.

The historical background was very well explained, and the guide's command of the French language was even more impressive.

Your experience

Viewing Amsterdam through the eyes of Anne Frank

This guided tour will take you back in time to Amsterdam during the days of World War II. Your multilingual guide will navigate you past old monuments and buildings that still hold traces of war. Learn about how the citizens of the city struggled during this troubling time as your guide tells you all about the Winter of Hunger and the February Strike. Continue to walk through the Jewish neighborhood at your own pace and notice the Portuguese synagogue and museum, one of the most important legacies of the Jewish community in Amsterdam. See also the Hollandsche Schouwburg theater, which was converted into a deportation center during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. You'll also spot the head office of the Jewish counsel along the way.

A story of bravery and resilience

While you stroll through the Jewish neighborhood, listen to your multilingual guide as they share stories about the Dutch resistance and Anne Frank's life. Visit the places that were frequented by young Anne before she was forced into seclusion with her family. Your guide will give you insights into what her life was like during the 2 years she was in hiding in the Secret Annex.
