Very entertaining and educational tour of the red light district. Aare knows his city history and delivers it in a very humorous way. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend!

Entertaining, educational and tons of fun! Everything you want to know about the offerings of the Red Light District and more. Who knew there was no coffee at the coffee shop?

Had a great time with our tour guide, Fia! It was a comfortable, engaging and enjoyable experience. We learned a lot about the history, the current nuances of what makes Amsterdam so unique. It may not be intuitively the first thing on your list of to-do’s, but if you have the time - definitely sign up! I would highly recommend booking this tour at the start of your trip.

I was very disappointed with the overall execution and organization of this tour, despite having a knowledgeable guide. However, the organizational aspects were unacceptable. The tour did not leave the meeting point until 45 minutes after the scheduled start time. We waited extensively for late guests, and then even more time was taken to accommodate last-minute additions to the group. This significant delay cut heavily into the available tour time. The tour deviated heavily from the published description. The main event- exploring the Red Light District—was severely rushed. We only spent the final 15 minutes of the entire duration in that area. Ultimately, this was a very poor experience and not worth the cost.

Was great to get the background history about how the red light district came about. Sophia was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun.

Very busy area, but very informative about the history of Amsterdam, not just the red light district. Robin was great - very friendly and shared lots of laughs!

Robbin, a fifth generation Amsterdamer was very thorough and accommodating during the tour. He provided tremendous information and encouraged interaction and feedback from the group.
