We were a group of 6 women and 1 man. Johanna led the tour very nicely. Everything was very interesting and informative. Despite a thunderstorm and a short "break," the tour was great and Johanna told us a lot. I was very satisfied. The group size was perfect, so Johanna could also address everyone and answer questions well.

Very good. Very informative. Basically tells you the history of the sex industry and will answer all questions one mught be afraid to ask when shopping for said sex. Plan on going on the tour before paying for a lady and you'll know what to do and how the whole process works.

A playful little tour with our guide Nastassia, who wonderfully explained the rules and the history of the red-light district to us.
