Millions of people travel to Amsterdam to see where the Frank family hid from the Nazis. In this guided tour, we retrace part of the route Anne took on her journey to the hiding place.
Travelling back in time to WWII Amsterdam, we'll learn about Anne's life & the ‘secret annex’ and experience Anne’s emotions during the dark days of war.
The tour ends in a cafe where you have a drink & enter the Secret Annex via a virtual reality recreation (made by the Anne Frank Foundation). Entering the hiding place through the bookcase, you'll see that unlike the actual house, the VR house still has furniture, giving a feel of how it was to live there in 1942-44.
There’s no crowds, you have the virtual Anne Frank house to yourself to explore at your own pace. This is as close to the real thing as you can get, without stepping foot in the house. Ideal for those who can’t get tickets or access to the Annex.

Virtual tour was unique and interesting to see. We were sad that the real tour was closed during our trip to Amsterdam and liked this very much.

We had an incredible experience on the Anne Frank walking tour and virtual reality experience. Our guide, Zarah, was absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. Her passion for sharing Amsterdam’s history, especially the stories from the German occupation of the 1940s, really brought everything to life. The walking portion was a lovely way to explore the neighborhoods of Amsterdam while learning powerful and important history along the way. The VR experience was a fantastic addition—fun, interactive, and a powerful visualization of how the Frank family hid during the Nazi occupation. This tour is both moving and educational, and Zarah’s energy and storytelling make it even more special. Highly recommend Zarah and this tour!

I advise anyone to take a taxi to the meeting place. Unfortunately my husband and I could not find the Statue where we were to meet our group and missed the tour. We of course were disappointed but it was our fault as we attempted to navigate our travel through an unfamiliar city. I’m sure we missed a wonderful walking tour. Karen F

A fair amount of walking necessary. Our guide Michael was phenomenal! Pleasant, knowledgeable, informative, engaging. The virtual experience was nothing like I had ever seen (literally) and was a significant plus to rounding out the tour. We actually went into the house museum to tour after and honestly the virtual tour was a bit more intriguing... highly recommended.
