It was a very moving tour, during which passages from Anne Frank’s diary were read aloud at appropriate moments. A tour to ensure we never forget!

It was a very interesting guided tour of the city. Deborah took us to all the highlights and explained the topics in a very engaging and informative way. I really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Our guide, Francesco, was very friendly and helpful; he wasn't at all condescending or boring—even my 12-year-old son felt engaged and listened with interest. Highly recommended!!

This was a great too, just make sure you keep a close eye on the tour guide. We were left behind at one of the stops where we could freely walk around. Headout was really kind and offered to rebook us on a later tour which really saved this experience for us. It was very interesting and well worth it!

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.

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.
