Anne Frank and the Jews in Amsterdam - This tour was very informative. It was not only about Anne Frank and her diary, but also about the history of the Jews in Amsterdam. I can only recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in this topic.

Great informative tour about the life of Anne Frank - Our Anne Frank tour was led in German by Charlotte. The meeting point was at the De Waag restaurant and the end point was the Holocaust Memorial. Charlotte led the tour in a very informative and charming way and was happy to answer any questions. Despite the poor weather, we had a lot of fun and can highly recommend the tour. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get a ticket for the Anne Frank House, so we booked this tour and were sure to learn more about Anne Frank's life.
