Retrace Anne Frank’s final journey through Amsterdam

Experience Anne Frank’s life and legacy on a private walking tour that follows the last part of her family’s route through Amsterdam, enhanced with diary excerpts and wartime context. Then enter the Secret Annex through a powerful Virtual Reality simulation that brings the rooms, furniture and atmosphere of 1942–1944 to life.

Your tour concludes at a cosy Amsterdam café near the Anne Frank House, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary drink before using advanced Virtual Reality headsets developed in collaboration with the Anne Frank Foundation to explore the Secret Annex.

You’ll enter through the iconic bookcase, just as Anne and her family once did. Inside, the rooms appear fully furnished, just as they would have looked between 1942 and 1944, giving you a true feel of what daily life in hiding was really like.

Unlike the real house, this private experience allows you to explore the space at your own pace, without any crowds. It’s a perfect alternative if you are unable to get tickets to the Secret Annex of the Anne Frank House, or if you have mobility issues, as the original building is not easily accessible.

As Anne once wrote:
“The sun is shining, the sky is deep blue, there’s a magnificent breeze and I’m longing — really longing — for everything: conversation, freedom, friends, being alone.”
– Anne Frank, 12 February 1944

Frequently Asked Questions Private Last Walk of Anne Frank

Is this a replacement for visiting the Anne Frank House?

It is not a replacement, but it is the closest and most meaningful alternative when tickets are unavailable. You do not enter the actual Anne Frank House, but the Virtual Reality experience allows you to see the Secret Annex as it looked during the war, combined with expert storytelling along Anne Frank’s last route.

You will experience the Secret Annex with its interior fully reconstructed, see parts of the house that are not accessible in the real Anne Frank House, and explore the space without hundreds of other visitors around you.

Do we go inside the Anne Frank House?

No. This tour does not include entrance to the Anne Frank House. The experience takes place outside and concludes with a Virtual Reality visit to the Secret Annex in a nearby location.

How realistic is the Virtual Reality experience?

The Virtual Reality experience was developed in collaboration with the Anne Frank Foundation and is based on detailed historical research.
