Unique experience with an excellent guide

5.00The tour was very interesting and informative. The guide did a wonderful job of providing information and background in a knowledgable and nonjudgmental way. It is certainly a very different experience from other guided tours.
Unfortunate Experience! 😳

1.00I booked this tour many months in advance and the day before our scheduled tour the provider contacted me on WhatsApp to advise me they didn’t have a guide available for the 5:30 tour, was it possible we could do the 6:00 pm tour? I said sure, no problem!
Tour with Johanna.

An Eye Opening Tour

5.00This was not on our initial itinerary and was a last minute booking on our part, and I am so happy we booked it. It gave us such a deeper understanding of this area, dispelled myths, etc. Eden was our guide and had so much knowledge about this district, from its beginnings to current state of affairs. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Generally interesting...

3.00Generally interesting tour, but I wish it was more history of the district / of prostitution in Amsterdam over time rather than content around what theaters/shows/shops to go to in the area and for what experiences
