5.00This tour was great! Our tour guide Robin (Hope I am spelling his name correctly) was fantastic and so informative and we learned so much about the Red Light District and the coffee shops. It was really fun and actually lasted longer than scheduled. Highly recommend him as your guide as he is passionate about his city and very knowledgeable.

3.00Tour guide provided less information than what I could’ve read about on the internet. Plus I would’ve saved my money. It seemed like half of his conversation was about him being Irish. Just came off as he was having a rough day. Spoke so fast that it seemed like he had somewhere to go.
