Visit one of Amsterdam’s most important historical landmarks. Located on the Prinsengracht canal in the city center, the museum is the former hiding place where Anne Frank, her family, and four other people lived in secret during World War II. It is here that Anne wrote her world-famous diary, which has since become one of the most powerful and widely read personal accounts of the Holocaust. During your visit, you will enter the original building and walk through the preserved rooms of the Secret Annex, carefully maintained to reflect the conditions in which the residents lived in hiding. The museum also features personal belongings, photographs, historical documents, and multimedia displays that provide deeper context about Anne Frank’s life, the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, and the broader history of World War II. This experience offers a meaningful and reflective visit at your own pace, allowing you to fully absorb the history and significance of the location.

What are people saying about Netherlands

Alicia_P, Jun 2026

Day Trip to Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam and Marken

Richard was our tour guide and very informative and educational about each area we visited. From visiting the windmills and watching wooden clogs made and sampling cheese, to the recommendations of herring and smoked eel - we enjoyed it all. Theres walking involved. Some hills and others flat locations - but good walking shoes are a must. We attended the cruise after the tour. It was nice but not really as nice as I would have liked. The closed windows (non open air cruise) didn’t provide a great experience for seeing things because we had onshore seats with other strangers and at their mercy to allow window sights.

Countryside Bike Tour from Amsterdam: Cheese, Clogs & a Windmill

Kamal_P, Jun 2026

Highly recommended. Must do activity.

Rafa our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about Amsterdam and his adoptive country in general. The bike tour was super easy and the e-bikes made even the long stretches easy. Amsterdam has a fantastic bike friendly system which meant we were out in the countryside within 10mins. The cheese and clog stop was highly entertaining and a lot of fun due to the presentation skills of the farmer Stephen.

Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings

Alecia_D, Jun 2026

Fabulous food tour!

This was the best activity we did in Amsterdam. Our guide, Barni, was absolutely amazing. Very engaging, lots of good history information, and great knowledge of the foods. We were there in a heatwave, so that was the only negative part. It was a lot of walking in the heat, but Barni had brought cold water for everybody and we had lots of breaks stopping to try the foods. Just a heads up, there were only 2 stops where we could sit and that had restrooms. We did fine, but I could see this tour being difficult for folks with limited mobility or decreased endurance.

Beth_C, Jun 2026

Highly recommend this tour!

If the weather is very warm/hot, please take a bottle of water with you for the walk. The walk was very informative and we got to see more of beautiful Amsterdam. The Holocaust Memorial was very moving. Our tour guide, Lucas, was charming, clearly well-prepared and fun.

Amsterdam All-Inclusive 90-Minutes Canal Cruise by Captain Jack

Archie_M, Jun 2026

Capt Jack tour-two thumbs up!

Our guide and boat operator, Harry, was very knowledgeable and quick witted. We did the canal tour in 2024 and this one took a different route that still overlapped some of the previous highlights and sights. The all-inclusive is the only way to go with beverages and treats/snack.

Phenomenal tour guide!

We had a wonderful experience. The highlight was our tour guide, Hans. He explained everything in detail and even gave us a tour of his own home! He is the mayor of the village. We even met his dog, which made my daughter so happy. We also enjoyed the sights.

Canal Cruising at its best!

Captain Storm was a top-notch boat captain, tour guide, host and entertainer all rolled into one! His easy commentary acquainted us with Netherlands’ history and details of Amsterdam architecture and provided insights into Dutch culture. We were so captivated by sights and comments we almost forgot to enjoy the plentiful wine, beers, soft drinks and delectable Dutch treats. - A thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

10 Tastes of Amsterdam: Food Tour by UNESCO Canals and Jordaan

Kevin_N, Jun 2026

Wonderful Afternoon to Nibble Learn and Enjoy

Our guide, Joeri, was laid-back, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the city and its food culture. The tour felt authentic from start to finish, taking us beyond the usual tourist hotspots and into smaller local establishments that I never would have discovered on my own. The food selections were excellent, offering a great variety of local specialties while providing insight into Amsterdam’s culinary traditions. Joeri also did a fantastic job adapting when one of the planned stops wasn’t available due to the unusually hot weather. Rather than missing out, he seamlessly switched to a great alternative, ensuring the experience never skipped a beat. Beyond the food, the walking portion through the historic canal district and Jordaan neighborhood was wonderful. Strolling along the UNESCO-listed canals while learning about the city’s history and culture added another layer to the experience. Well-paced, informative, and delicious, this tour offers a perfect combination of sightseeing and local food. If you’re looking for an authentic introduction to Amsterdam and its food scene, I highly recommend this tour—and especially Joeri as a guide.

Great way to learn about the history of Amsterdam (Amstel Dam)

We had a great time on this tour. The weather was beautiful and our tour guide was super knowledgeable. This was a great way to see the city and learn about the history of not only the canals but the city itself. We enjoyed some drinks and snacks along the way as well. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise in Open Boat with Unlimited Drinks Option

Alexandra_W, Jun 2026

Lovely sunset canal tour of Amsterdam

My friend and I booked this experience last minute because we realized we had booked a different canal tour for the wrong day. I was very happy with this tour and we had a lot of fun. We chose the unlimited drinks option and they let us keep a bottle of wine by us to drink throughout the tour. I unfortunately don’t remember our guides name but he was younger and was very entertaining. He shared information about certain buildings and monuments throughout the tour, and answered any questions we asked. His english was very good as well and I had no issue understanding him. Overall it was a fun experience and I’d do it again!
