An Anne Frank House private tour: what you actually book
An Anne Frank House private tour is a walk outside the museum with a guide for your party only. None of these walks enters the house, because tickets are sold only by the museum. What a private guide gives you is the setting around it, and one of the three options starts at Prinsengracht 263, the address of the hiding place itself.
That walk takes three hours and is limited to four people, whatever you pay. It is built around the war years in Amsterdam, with a coffee stop on the way. The other two walks leave the museum behind and cover the Jordaan and the historic centre, for two or three hours.
Prices below are from November 2026. The group price is divided by party size so you can set it beside the per-person fares.

Compare a private World War Two walk with two Jordaan routes, with live prices and availability.
The private World War Two walk from Prinsengracht 263
This is the option for visitors who want the war years as the subject. The guide meets you at Prinsengracht 263 and keeps the group to four people at most. There is no audio system, so you talk to the guide directly and ask questions as you walk. You set the pace, and a coffee stop is built into the route. Refreshments there are not included, and you receive printed information to keep.
The tour lasts about three hours, though it may run a little over. The operator also runs it with wheelchair users, and asks them to write beforehand so the route and the coffee stop can be planned. That matters here: the historic rooms of the museum are not reachable with a wheelchair because of steep stairs, while this walk is.
The price is €160 for the whole group of up to four. Two people pay €80 each, three pay about €53 each and four pay €40 each. It suits a family, two friends or a couple who want one guide to themselves.
Private walks through the Jordaan
The Jordaan walk with the Nine Streets takes three hours. You choose a start time when you book, and if you are staying centrally the host picks you up on foot at your accommodation. A form sent after booking lets you shape the route with your host. Food, drinks and attraction tickets are not included.
The shorter historic Amsterdam walk lasts two hours and starts at the Damrak with a private local guide.
Private tour or small group
If you mainly want a guide telling Anne Frank's story, the small-group walks cost far less.
Choose the small group when you want the facts and are happy to share. Choose private when someone in your party needs a slower pace or wheelchair access, when you want to fix your own start time, or when you want to ask the guide freely. The small-group walks are on our Anne Frank walking tours page. Book your museum slot first, since time slots are released every Tuesday for six weeks ahead.
Private Anne Frank tours: frequently asked questions
Does a private tour include entry to the museum?
No. Only the museum sells tickets for the house, at €16.50 for adults. A private walk takes place outside it.
How much does a private walk cost per person?
The World War Two walk is €160 for up to four, so €40 each for four and €80 each for two.
How many people can join the war walk?
Four at most. The group is never larger, so the €160 price is shared by up to four people.
Where does each walk start?
The war walk starts at Prinsengracht 263 and the shorter Jordaan walk at the Damrak. The longer Jordaan walk picks you up on foot at your accommodation if it is central.
