8.Jordaan, Anne Frank and Leidseplein tour in English

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 29 reviews · 3 hours · from $29

Start at Amsterdam Central Station and walk through the Canal Ring, Jordaan and Prinsengracht while learning about Anne Frank and wartime Amsterdam. Continue past Westerkerk, Leidseplein and Vondelpark toward Museumplein. The Anne Frank House ticket is not included.

“Good value for money tour. Our female guide was excellent, with a lot of knowledge and she took us to the different areas of the city as advertised. We did not go to the park because is too big and required extra time. Be prepared to walk if you really want to know the city, not only in this tour, because Amsterdam has very narrow streets mostly designed for pedestrians and bicycles. Be careful with the cyclists because they appear out of nowhere and "in groups". We visited many important areas, monuments, building, bridges and we had wonderful views of the city. We had time for coffee and restroom stops…”

She had taken the time to look up a couple personal stops for me that involved pottery, glass and antiques which I loved. I want to thank her for making the tour very memorable. Jordaan is an interesting excursion. More new than I had anticipated but she showed us parts we would never had noticed like the little corridors between buildings and a courtyard as well as a great little pub to have coffee and apple pie…”
