5.00The tour is very informative about the area now, it’s historic start. We literally walked throughout the area saw all of the sights and places of interest. Andrea our guide was very friendly and patiently answered all our many questions.
Not what we expected

2.00This tour was disappointing and did not live up to what we had hoped for. Our guide was pleasant enough, but the experience felt uninspired and fairly cookie-cutter. We were expecting a more thoughtful, in-depth look at the history of Amsterdam’s Red Light District, including the history of sex work, the current controversies, and the cultural and social issues surrounding the area. Instead, the information provided felt limited and surface-level.
Excellent tour and tour guide

5.00Took this tour with Andrea as our guide and she did an amazing job of giving oversight into the history of this part of Amsterdam. She was a wealth of knowledge and approach the subject matter with sensitivity and insight.

5.00Our tour guide Aarre from the start was brilliant. Especially that we were slightly held up he waited on us. Aarre was very knowledgeable and was able to confirm some myth and truth about the area. Anything we asked he was very informative about. Following the tour he was even good enough to give us suggestions for a meal in the area. Great tour by a great guide
