Private Tour: Anne Frank Walking Tour Through the Jewish Quarter 12 PM
This tour allows guests to immerse themselves in World War II history associated with Anne Frank in Amsterdam. The tour will begin in the morning with guests meeting their knowledgeable guide in the Old Jewish Quarter. Walking at an easy pace, they will accompany their guide to prominent landmarks such as the 17th-century Portuguese Synagogue, designed by renowned architect Elias Bouman. Along the way, their guide will provide interesting insights into the city’s Jewish community and the impact of the World War II on the city. The itinerary includes Hollandsche Schouwburg, a theater building turned temporary accommodation for Jewish people assigned to concentration camps. Guests will also visit the central office of the Jewish Council, and hiding places used by the Dutch resistance to protect Jewish families. A private tour ensures an intimate and enriching experience, with the guide’s undivided attention. Travelers gain a deep understanding of life during the German occupation of Holland and lesser-known historical facts. The last stop is the Anne Frank House Museum, located in the building where the Jewish teenager hid out with her family for about two years.
