Private Tour

Private Anne Frank and WWII Tour of Amsterdam Jewish Area

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

This private walking tour doesn’t just show you the Jewish Quarter—it brings it to life. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll hear lesser-known stories of courage, loss, and resilience that go far beyond the textbook version of WWII.

You won’t stand in crowds or follow a flag. Instead, you’ll trace quiet streets, reflect at powerful memorials, and end your journey in a cozy local café with a drink and Dutch treat—because heavy history deserves a warm landing.

Anne Frank’s house is just the final stop. The true story? It’s written all over this city—and we help you read it.

Anne Frank House tickets are not included, but if you contact us at least 7 weeks in advance, we’ll happily try to secure them for you — saving you the stress of navigating the tricky ticket system. Availability can’t be guaranteed, but we often succeed when guests book early.
