“good thing i found this tour. coming to amsterdam, i was really looking forward to visiting the anne frank house. but when finding out tickets were already sold out, i looked for some alternatives and found this on gyg. it was even more extensive as they didn't only dwell on the franks' life but starting from the long history of the jews life before and during the nazis regimen.

“This store does not include tickets to the Anne Frank house. I don’t know if it was me not paying attention when I booked it or if they bury that in the fine print, but I think this is something they should put at the very top because in my opinion, it was misleading. My fault. We actually left the door early.”
