Sofia is a very kind and knowledgeable guide. She contacted us personally to help us find the meeting spot and even came looking for us, as we could not find it ourselves. The tour is really worth it. A different look at the history of Anna Frank, Amsterdam Jews and the cruelty of Nazis.

What a wonderful experience! I'd highly recommend (especially if you can't get a ticket to the Frank house museum)! Our tour guide was a history student who has lived in Amsterdam all her life - she was full of knowledge, compassion and awareness. We learnt so much about Amsterdam's history as well as about the Frank family. She answered everyone's questions with ease and made every moment interesting. Thank you for such a great afternoon!

Iris was our tour guide and she was phenomenal! She explained everything so well and her pictures and books helped you really connect with what you were learning! My daughter and I took this tour because she loves learning about WWII and the Holocaust, plus I'm a history nut too, and Iris made it a memorable tour for us both!

The tour started right on time, and we received a warm welcome and a clear explanation of the itinerary—complete with pictures—and lots of interesting facts. Congratulations! The tour was well worth it.

Follow an expert guide on this 1.5 or 2-hour small-group walking tour through Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter and WWII sites on an English, Spanish, French, Italian, or German tour.

Walk the same streets Anne Frank once did as you explore the Jewish Quarter, home to the Portuguese Synagogue and wartime memorials.

See the Hollandsche Schouwburg and Jewish Council office, and hear how Dutch resistance fighters hid Jewish families during Nazi rule.

Your guide shares powerful stories of life under occupation, including the 1941 workers’ strike and the winter famine of 1944–1945.

Get access to the Jewish Museum, Portuguese Synagogue, National Holocaust Memorial and Museum, and the Children's Museum by upgrading your tickets.
