Red Light District (De Wallen)
Amsterdam's red light district is a fascinating part of town. Aside from the infamous windows, there is a lot more to discover about 'de Wallen' as we call it in Dutch. This area is my expertise and I've been giving talks and tours about it for the last 10 years.
Nieuwmarkt
A historic square and home of the 'Waag', an interesting building with a secret in the attic...

We had a very informative and interesting tour. Our guide, Julia, provided us with detailed information and responded to our questions superbly. You realize that it is their home and pass on their knowledge with humor to the tourist. We would always book a tour with her.

We did this tour with some friends. Julia was our tour guide and besides the fact that she can tell a lot and could answer all of our questions, she is also very nice and fun. Definitely recommended to do this tour with Julia!

I have booked the Private Walking Tour of Amsterdam for our colleagues twice already via Viator. They have had a great time. The communication with the guide prior to the tour was excellent: change of date and time was a no brainer. I would recommend this site and Tour to everyone.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Julia, taking in some of the best that Amsterdam has to offer (it helped that we had some sun!). For first time visitors, we couldn’t have been happier learning about this wonderful city with Julia. All in all a 5-star experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
