Sofia was super informative and gave a great rundown. Would highly recommend. Go a little earlier to learn more, as it gets busy at night.

A tasteful experience for travelers wanting to learn the history of this area of Amsterdam. Our guide, Andrea, was extremely knowledgeable of the history and showed us more than we would have seen on our own. It provided us with a greater appreciation of the prostitution industry in a respectful way. Highly recommend this private tour.
