Very interesting historical points. It could have included a bit more of the history of the city itself and the country as well, to put it in context. But overall it was very good

We had a problem understanding the starting points for the tours, as we were in a foreign country, so it was difficult to find your way around and there was a language barrier. It would be nice to have a map or to be clearer about the starting point. We had booked 2 tours one behind the other, and it would have been preferable to block the time slots, as the lack of information meant that we arrived late for the second tour and had to postpone it until the next day, adding a sum of money.

Anne Frank was a German girl and Jewish victim of the Holocaust, who is most known for keeping a diary of her experiences. Her diary is a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and a testament to the human spirit. She kept it for just over two years - from her 13th birthday on 12 June 1942 to the moment of the Nazi raid on the secret annex where she lived in hiding with her family. This tour shows you Amsterdam during World War II, through her eyes. The tour unravels the complete storyline of these dark days. Choose from 4 language options for your tour and step back in time.

Your 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.
