Anne Frank's Last Walk & See Anne Frank House in Virtual Reality
Description
Millions of people travel to Amsterdam to see where the Frank family hid from the Nazis. In this guided tour, we retrace part of the route Anne took on her journey to the hiding place. Travelling back in time to WWII Amsterdam, we'll learn about Anne's life & the ‘secret annex’ and experience Anne’s emotions during the dark days of war. The tour ends near Anne Frank house where you enter the Secret Annex via a virtual reality recreation (made by the Anne Frank Foundation). Entering the hiding place through the bookcase, you'll see that unlike the actual house, the VR house still has furniture, giving a feel of how it was to live there in 1942-44. There’s no crowds, you have the virtual Anne Frank house to yourself to explore at your own pace. This is as close to the real thing as you can get, without stepping foot in the house. Ideal for those who can’t get tickets or access to the Annex. ** This tour does NOT start at Anne Frank House** No additional purchases required

The virtual experience takes you further into the history of Anne Frank's house with viewing the rooms WITH furniture instead of going through the house with no furniture. Would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have have knowledge of Anne Frank & family's last walk in Amsterdam & view her place she & family stayed.

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.
Thank you, Sheila! We were happy to have you on the tour.
Case was a great guide. He did a wonderful job explaining the history of the area and how the Netherlands became such a safe haven for the Jewish people until the WWII Nazi’s invasion. The information and following Anne Franks foot steps was quite unique especially adding on the virtual reality experience. Would highly suggest you check this out.

Anna Frank tour was great. Guido our guide was amazing. Loved the VR experience. The next best thing since we couldn’t get tickets to the museum. Absolutely reccomend
Thank you, Ines! We are always there for you at Amsterdam Experiences.
A great alternative to the Anne Frank House, which was unfortunately sold out… our guide Michael made the walking tour very informative and interesting, sharing not only about Anne Frank and her family but also interesting facts about that time. The virtual tour of the family's accommodation was a successful conclusion and gave us a good impression of what the conditions must have been like. The tour is highly recommended!
Thanks, Nicole! It was fun to have you on the tour.
