Private Family Tour Of Amsterdam

A Family Tour Designed for Amsterdam

This private family tour is designed to be flexible and enjoyable for both adults and children. Depending on what suits your family best, the tour can be done by bike or as a walking tour. Both options allow you to explore Amsterdam comfortably and at your own pace.

With a private guide, the focus is on keeping the experience relaxed and engaging, with plenty of time to stop, ask questions, and adjust the route as needed.

 

Exploring the City Together

Whether cycling or walking, you will explore green parks, canals, and neighbourhoods where locals live and spend their time. Your guide will share stories and observations that are easy for children to follow, mixing history with everyday life and fun details about the city.

Regular stops are built into the tour for photos, short breaks, or simply to enjoy what you are seeing. The route and pace are adapted to the ages and interests of your family.

 

Comfortable, Safe, and Flexible

No special experience is needed for either option. If you choose to cycle, the guide will select safe, bike-friendly routes and make sure everyone feels comfortable before setting off. Bikes are available in different sizes, with options for children, and helmets are available on request.

If you prefer to walk, the route will focus on compact areas with plenty to see along the way.

Fabulous experience! Perfect experience!!! Sophia, our guide gave us such an informative background story leading up to Anne Frank’s hiding! We took the exact trip the family took to their hiding place in the house. The culmination was the virtual reality tour inside their house. It was incredible to see the original space with the actual furniture and belongings of the Frank family.

Best tour ever By far the BEST tour we have taken ever. Michael was very knowledgeable, polite and an excellent guide. The virtual reality portion of this tour was fantastic. It takes you right into the house where Anne and her family hid for 25 months. It has quotes from her diary all around the house you can listen to. We loved this tour and highly recommend it to anyone over only going on the museum. The VR is a game changer.

I was booked on the Anne Frank tour with Sophie in May 2026. I want to say she was truly amazing as a guide. She gave insightful information and made us feel like we were going through the actual experiences of Anne Frank and her family. The tour itself was also fantastic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to come to Amsterdam.

Informative view of Anne Franks experience as a Jew in Amsterdam under Nazi occupation and life in hiding. Interesting walk with our knowledgeable guide Ceese. Explained Jewish background of Amsterdam / Netherlands and why so many Jews were captured. Explained traumatic life for Jews under Nazis and why and how the Frank family went into hiding. VR if house interesting as shown furnished how it would have been. Took a little while to get used to VR headsets but very good.

An absolutely thought provoking and informative tour that left us feeling both humbled and inspired by the bravery and resilience of Ann Frank and family. Zara was an exceptional Tour guide; knowledgeable and articulate; sharing the story with insight. The VR was a brilliant way to step back in time to really feel what it must have been like to live in the house at that time. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Highly recommend - both the walk and the VR experience are sensational. What a magnificent tour. Our engaging guide Kess was so knowledgeable and eager to share information and history with us - I learned so much from him as we walked in Anne Frank's footsteps on her last walk. Also, this was my first VR experience, and it ROCKS! I didn't know what to expect -- sitting at the table, and placing the VR gear over my eyes. I was immediately whisked away to another time and place without having to take a single step. It was powerful to 'walk' (click) around the hidden home where Anne, her family and a few others had hidden. from the main floor up to the attic, i was able to see her home exactly as it was, including the covered windows they could never look out of. It is a emotional tour, but one I feel is important to take.

I took Viator's Anne Frank's Last Walk. The guide was Zarah, who was fabulous!! She was friendly and so knowledgeable and thorough. It was a relatively small group so she was really able to talk in detail about the Frank Family's experiences leading up, during and after the war and answered questions that came up during the tour. I would HIGHLY recommend her tour to anyone!

Much better than the Museum itself This walking tour was really enjoyable. Kees was so knowledgeable about Anna, her family and other inhabitants. Pace was good and the VR experience allowed us to have a better experience than the museum itself. Would definitely recommend it! Thanks 🙂

Zarah was a knowledgeable and engaging guide of Amsterdam and the story of Anne frank and her family. My family of 4 (kids 8 and 11) were enthralled! The VR tour of the house was an excellent substitute for going into the museum.

Kees was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the Jewish community in Amsterdam, the Dutch resistance and of course the last months of Anna Frank’s and her family’s and friends’ hiding time.

Excellent tour Our guide was David who was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. It was a lovely stroll around Anne's last walk. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and finished in the cafe with a hot chocolate and a VR experience of where the family hid for 2 years. Thanks David.

Kees was a wonderful guide. He explained the situation in Amsterdam for Jews at that time very sensibly and has a great knowledge about the history of Amsterdam and Anne‘s family. It is clearly said in the description that the tour does NOT INCLUDE TICKETS FOR THE HINTERHAUS, and the VR experience gives a bit of an insight of what the hiding place looked like. However, in our opinion, it can neither replace the real place nor transport the tense atmosphere.
