Fabulous morning!

Had a brilliant time riding our bikes through Amsterdam with our super star guide Timo! He was full of knowledge about everything (being a historian amongst other things) relating to Amsterdam, the Jewish community past and present, Anne Frank (of course) and lots more.... Totally enjoyable and worth it....!

It’s not what you think!!

This tour takes you on the part of Annes life pre-hiding! We shaw the house she lived, the bookshop she bought the diary from. The school she visited. These are all factors that made Anne the young woman she was! Brilliant tour and well worth it!

Great tour!

Very nice route, where you go to all places, where Anne Frank has lived and lived, extensive background information, also nicely matched with extra footage, for example people with disabilities or children, highly recommended!
