Meet at Max Euweplein, right next to the small chess statue in front of Wagamama restaurant, for 2.5 hours of immersive storytelling and historical exploration.

What to expect

You will step back in time to WWII alongside an expert storyteller, walking the final 600 meters of the exact route Anne and her family took to their hiding place. You will view the historic Prinsengracht canal, the iconic Westerkerk, and the exterior of the Secret Annex while hearing poignant excerpts from Anne's diary. Your journey culminates in a groundbreaking, crowd-free Virtual Reality exploration of her hiding place.

Features:

  • Seamless Virtual Reality Annex tour: Step beyond the famous bookcase via a highly accurate VR recreation designed by the Anne Frank Foundation. Unlike the physical museum, which stands empty, this virtual experience beautifully restores all the original 1942–1944 furniture and belongings, offering an intimate look at their daily lives.

  • Intimate small-group setting: Skip the massive tour bus crowds. With a maximum of 15 guests per tour, you will enjoy a deeply personal, conversational atmosphere where you can easily interact with your guide and get all your historical questions answered.

  • Certified expert storytellers: Connect deeply with the past through passionate local guides who balance the solemnity of the era with inspiring themes of tolerance and hope.

  • Complete accessibility & comfort: While the historic Anne Frank House lacks elevator access and presents challenges for those with mobility issues, this virtual experience allows anyone to explore the entire Annex, including the attic, at their own pace without navigating steep stairs.

Booking FAQs

The story is shared with care and sensitivity, and many families find the experience suitable for older children and teenagers. Due to the subject matter, we recommend a minimum age of ten years old.

The route is flat, but the cobbled streets and canal edges in Amsterdam can be uneven. Guests should be comfortable walking about one kilometre. If you have specific accessibility needs, you can contact us for advice. The VR equipment is suitable for all ages, although we recommend a minimum age of ten for both the walking tour and the VR session.

You will finish the tour at a location near the Anne Frank House. Here you will enter the Secret Annex via the magic of a virtual reality recreation (designed by the Anne Frank Foundation). This tour does not include tickets or entrance to the Anne Frank House. You will meet your guide next to the small chess statue on Max Euweplein in front of Wagamama restaurant. The Anne Frank House often sells out weeks in advance. This experience offers a meaningful alternative by guiding you through Anne’s neighbourhood and ending with an immersive Virtual Reality visit to the Secret Annex. The VR session takes you into parts of the house that you cannot see in real life. There is a toilet available at the location where you will have the VR session.
