The narrator and route guidance But indicating meeting point was worthless. That seems at orange umbrella but is not put anywhere on Headout's site! Even the orange umbrella did not know. So had to make expensive phone calls to find out! Really bad .

The guided tours were good and very informative. Unfortunately, although I had booked a German tour, the tour was in English. I had booked the combined tour because it supposedly included admission to the Anne Frank House. Unfortunately, this was a mistake. It was the same for all participants who had booked this tour and wanted to visit the Anne Frank House. It was a rip-off and very annoying!

The guide Ola was very clear and provided a lot of information with the tour. I learned a different perspective of the Frank family in the Netherlands and the way the Netherlands dealt with the Second World War. I highly recommend the tour before going to Anne Frank's house.

Your experience

Viewing Amsterdam through the eyes of Anne Frank

This guided tour will take you back in time to Amsterdam during the days of World War II. Your multilingual 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.

A story of bravery and resilience

While you stroll through the Jewish neighborhood, listen to your multilingual guide as they share stories about the Dutch resistance and Anne Frank's life. Visit the places that were frequented by young Anne before she was forced into seclusion with her family. Your guide will give you insights into what her life was like during the 2 years she was in hiding in the Secret Annex.
