    Excellent

    I really enjoyed this- I read the diary 30 years ago as a child and remember the characters well. I visited the annex twice before many years ago ( just showed up, paid at the entrance that was it!) - this time I brought my daughter but could not get tickets. Never mind there is tons to do in Amsterdam..... I booked this trip at the last minute and walked in her footsteps- I am still trying to take it in. I never expected to feel such a connection after so long. Her house, school, where she played, the bookshop and ice cream store.... My feeling is if you also have read and read the book- take a walk around where she lived you will not regret it. It was also great to see the effort made to preserve her memory.

      Un esperienza davvero toccante. Rivivere a piedi la storia della vita di Anna Frank; un tour di un ora e mezzo a piedi in un quartiere stupendo carico di storia e tristezza, ma sicuramente imperdibile quando si visita Amsterdam secondo il mio modesto parere. Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo appreso molto da questo tour, grazie anche alla disponibilità dell ottima guida che ci ha accompagnato in questo tour.
