Description

Recreate the story of Anne Frank on a guided tour of Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter and Old Town. See places that the Jewish girl saw from the attic where she hid in 1942 from the Nazis during the occupation of the Netherlands. This tour is a great activity to do before visiting the Anne Frank Museum (tickets not included). Learn about the real events from ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ from a Private Guide who is an expert on WWII history! Choose the 2-hour option to follow the path of Anne Frank in Amsterdam during World War II. Your tour begins with finding the names of Anne and her family on the National Holocaust Names Monument. You will learn about the historical background of Anne Frank’s diary while exploring the former Jewish Quarter. Anne came to Amsterdam as a 4-year-old girl to hide from the Holocaust, the genocide of European Jews from the hands of the Nazis. About 75–80% of the Dutch-Jewish population was deported and murdered during the war. The expert commentary will help you understand why Anne Frank had to hide. You will see landmarks such as the beautiful Portuguese Synagogue, the Jewish Historical Museum (outside), and the Rembrandthuis. Other points of interest include the National Monument in front of the Royal Palace, which is dedicated to the victims of World War II, and the Anne Frank Monument in front of the Westerkerk. Anne could see this church while hiding in the attic of a nearby house. The final stop will be outside the historic Anne Frank House. Choose the 3-hour option to book private transportation for your Anne Frank tour. This opinion includes a 1-hour round-trip transfer with pickup and drop-off directly at your accommodation in Amsterdam. Avoid the hassle of making your own travel arrangements and enjoy the comfort of a private vehicle exclusively for your group. Choose the 4-hour option to learn more about the life and death of Anne Frank by visiting the Portuguese Synagogue and the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. Skip-the-line tickets to both attractions are included to not waste time waiting in line to purchase the tickets. The Jewish museum belongs to the Jewish Cultural Quarter and offers an in depth analysis of the Dutch Jewish history, religion and culture. During this tour your Private Guide will focus especially on the exhibition on the persecution of Jews during the Second World War, but you will also learn about other important aspects of the Dutch Jewish heritage. You will also visit the Portuguese Synagogue. It was the largest synagogue in Europe during the Dutch Golden Age, and remains an important place of worship for Amsterdam's Jewish community. Choose the 5-hour option to add a 1-hour round-trip transfer to the 4-hour itinerary. This option includes private transportation and an extended Anne Frank tour with skip-the-line tickets to the Jewish Historical Museum. Take advantage of private car transfers between the meeting point and your accommodation/hotel to save time and effort.
