Reviews
First of all, be very clear – this is a walking tour not something that’s actually done at The Anne Frank Museum. In addition, you need to be very vigilant in regards to any changes that the company Viator may want to make to your reservation -especially 24 hours or less prior to the scheduled paid event. Viator changed not only the date, but the time and location of original meeting place. Very disappointing as being very unfamiliar with the Amsterdam and expecting clients to track down the tour guide.

Anne Frank Walking Tour with Kira861rowanh
Kira was amazing! Well spoken and intelligent about the city. I would highly recommend for anyone, even families. The walking is not too much.
Be aware of what you’re signing up for.Kalin_L
It is not at the Anne Frank house. It starts 30 minutes away, at some random spot. When we got there, no one was around from Viator, so we did not get our tour. Very disappointed!
Worth it really!!!makikom2025
We learned a lot! She gave us lots of information! Meaningful time we spent! Two hours really flew! I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to feel what Anne felt back in the war time.

Anne Frank walk and immersive history that exceeded our expectationslleach5
Our tour today was done so well! Our guide, Kira was wonderful! Very personable and SO knowledgeable about everything we got to see. Many stories and extra details that were so interesting in the way she shared. The VR tour of the house was really pretty cool. Better in fact than in person since it was recreated to look as it did back then. Thank you so much for the experience!

Amazing experience in Amsterdamjodiej997
We had a truly unforgettable experience exploring Anne Frank's Amsterdam with our family. Our guide was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Anne’s story. She shared moving insights and little-known details that brought the history to life in such a personal way. From beginning to end, the tour was beautifully organised and deeply meaningful. We all came away with a greater appreciation of Anne Frank’s life and legacy. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Very good tourTravel15124609330
We had a very informative tour with our sympathetic guide Barney, who told us about Amsterdam in addition to the life of Anne Frank. So the tour was varied and the severity of the subject well to take. For me and my 12-year-old daughter a perfect alternative to the Anne Frank house as I was late for tickets. The VR glasses were a first for both of us and something special again.
