Itinerary
Begin your tour by the Anne Frank House (Exterior Only), where Anne, her family, and four others hid from the Nazis for two years. Learn about their lives in hiding,
See the statue of Anne Frank, a tribute to the young diarist, set against the backdrop of Westerkerk, the 17th-century church whose bells she found both a comfort and a reminder of the world beyond the attic.
Visit the first memorial in the world dedicated to persecuted LGBTQ+ individuals, commemorating those who lost their lives under the Nazi regime.
Walk through Amsterdam’s historic main square, where the Nazi recruitment office once stood. Pay your respects at the National Monument, a cenotaph honoring victims of World War II and later conflicts.
Learn about this Dutch Jewish philosopher whose rationalist ideas on religion and politics were considered radical for his time and later influenced the Enlightenment.
Jewish Resistance Monument (Joods Verzetsmonument) Erected in 1988 to commemorate Jewish resistance fighters who lost their lives during World War II. This site marks the first mass protest against Nazi occupation
Pause at this subtle yet moving sidewalk monument, where stones trace the outline of the orphanage from which Jewish children and their caretakers were deported to Sobibor in 1943.
Admire what was once the world’s largest synagogue in the world, a symbol of Amsterdam’s once-thriving Jewish community. Across the street, the Jewish Museum offers a deeper insight into Jewish life, history, and culture in the Netherlands.
Reflect at this powerful statue, commemorating the February Strike of 1941, when thousands of workers staged the first public protest in occupied Europe against Nazi persecution. (10 minutes)
A small but poignant monument honoring Jewish deaf and hard-of-hearing victims, labeled as “Untermenschen” by the Nazis and systematically murdered. (10 minutes)
In a quiet corner of Wertheimpark, this shattered mirror memorial reflects the sky, symbolizing how the heavens themselves were broken by the horrors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
National Holocaust Memorial & Stumbling Stones Visit the National Holocaust Names Monument, engraved with the names of 102,000 Jewish victims and 220 Roma and Sinti murdered by the Nazis. See the Stumbling Stones, small brass plaques embedded in the pavement, each marking the last known residence of a deported Holocaust victim.

Anne Frank Amsterdam tour
Anita Gosschalk Liemburg was an exceptional tour guide today! She had so much information to share and she did so in a well-orchestrated and a personal way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a well-spoken narrative and a very friendly face.
Outstanding guide
Clare has a tremendous ability to explain history and make history interesting.She literally is a great "story teller" and the two and a half hour tour passed by very quickly. For sure we will remember this outstanding tour and the history she talked about. Can't get any better
Great informative and friendly guide
The tour covered many important areas of Amsterdam and our guide had much great information to share. Clare was simply lovely. Highly recommend.
Private Anne Frank’s Amsterdam Tour with Clare
Clare was very friendly and engaging. The tour was informative and interesting while keeping it accessible and appropriate for our children. Clare was knowledgeable and heartfelt as she described the atrocities perpetrated on the citizens of Amsterdam and the courage of the resistance. She led us through the city and placed us in the locations of the events to allow us to be immersed in the history and to experience it more deeply. She was accommodating allowing us to duck into a cafe for hot cocoa on our snowy walking tour.
