Description

This is not your average private tour. It’s a personal, slow-paced journey through Amsterdam’s soul — guided by Antonis, a passionate local storyteller. You'll uncover hidden WWII resistance stories, walk past leaning canal houses, find secret prisons under bridges, and explore quiet corners of the Red Light District — far from the crowds. The tour ends in a cozy café, where we share a coffee (included!), a local sweet, and — for those who wish — a powerful VR visit to the Anne Frank House. What Makes This Tour Special • 100% private and flexible — at your pace, your time. • Deep, human storytelling using books, chalk, and questions. • A moment to pause: coffee, conversation, and reflection in a café. • A beautiful, high-quality VR visit to the Secret Annex. • Includes small gifts, laughs, questions, and moments of silence. The VR Part The VR is optional and shared — there’s just one headset. But this moment is far from passive. While one guest explores the Anne Frank House virtually, the rest of us sip coffee and chat. This is often when the best questions come — about the war, what we’re seeing, the future, or life in Amsterdam today. We share stories, emotions, restaurant tips, whatever you like to learn.
