Started in the China town area and then worked our way to and... read more through the red light distract and even kept going a bit after that! It was interesting to see the girls in the windows and they weren’t as cracked out looking as I thought they’d be. He pointed out the “theatre” shows, historical buildings and even this one store with a bathtub full of dildos! It was so funny! I got in and took a picture! There’s also a really long narrow tunnel that we got to walk through that used to have girls in windows but it shut down during Covid and now it just has renters in it. David our tour guide was awesome, very informative, AND very funny! Overall, super fun and really great tour!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - We had such an incredible experience. My wife and I signed up last minute for this and we’re the only people on the tour. It also was fairly... read more early in the day so a lot of the bars were closed. Michael assured us it would be fine and we would have a great time still. What it wound up turning into was almost 5 hours of bar hoping, story telling, history, and of course beer!! It was like our own personal tour guide of the city. Such an amazing time!
December 20, 2022Tour of the Jewish quarter and Anne frank with James - I would like to thank james for the great tour of the Jewish quarter and Anne frank, he was very informative and answered all the questions we had to ask,... read more the tour was very educational and would highly recommend.
December 20, 2022Major disappointment - This would have been better if there was a better variety of foods. This is the third food tour I have been on; this one felt like I was... read more cheated. Food was of poor quality; way too much street food - deep fried items. It seemed like the guide was trying to find a very cheap way to do the tour. I will not use this company again.

Great trip on the Rhine, great excursions, loved the crew, and met great new friends.A treadmill, stepper and rower would be great! The concern and problem is that we have to "pay in full" the entire amount in 2022!! This is worse than taxes, this means we have to pay in full 20 months before the cruise takes place... This ties up our/'all passengers' MONEY FOR 20 MONTHS.
December 19, 2022Absolutely worth it! - This tour went beyond my expectations. I was the only one who booked at the time I did and so I had the tour guide all to myself.

I enjoyed his little stories and he shared thought-provoking perspectives on Red Light District
If you’re gonna take this tour, ask for Craig! He’ll make sure you have a grand time.
10/10!

Recommended on all fronts, ask for Craig. - The success of these tours are solely based on two things, the admin and the guide. We were delighted on both fronts, great organisation and an outstanding guide. We were... read more really impressed with Craig, and for a gay man he knew all you needed to about vaginas and their whereabouts. Witty, knowledgeable and patient meant he was a huge hit with us. His knowledge of the coffee shops was also commendable and the one we headed to on his recommendation was truly the shizzle. Highly recommended, ask for Craig!

December 7, 2022Fun and informative tour - We started with our group of 4 and 4 guys joined us. Towards the middle, all 4 men (not in our group) slowly started disappearing so we ended up with... read more a private tour. Very informative with a nice guide. FYI depending on the time you book the streets could be crowded/ not crowded and if you are looking to participate and/or see many women in the windows like other members that joined our group were, there are off times for women and they may not be open. The later you go, the more women/people you will see in the windows.
The tour started in the red light district. You can’t actually stop and do a tour in the red light district, so we heard everything on the outskirts before heading in to see what our tour guide told us. Our guide was knowledgeable and added some fun anecdotes that made our time pass by quickly. We saw just one woman in a window, which was fine for us as we were with in-laws
The second part of the tour took place in the green light district. This was a shorter part of the tour. We heard, again, fun anecdotes and the history of weed in Amsterdam - even some current news around it too! Then we had the option to go into a coffee house (or not). The tour ended with seeing some funny condoms and with restaurant recommendations.
Overall, we really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was clearly someone who enjoyed the history and made it fun and funny along the way. I feel like I understand more about Amsterdam and the history he told us has stuck with me. He personalized it for us once the other guys got pulled into different shows and windows. We would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about these two significant and historical areas in Amsterdam.

Great Tour! - This was a great tour! We are so glad we went. It wasn’t a tour we were going to go on, but decided at the last minute. We... read more are so glad as the guide, Aarre was very knowledgeable and we learned so much. This is a must do if you are in Amsterdam.
December 3, 2022“Tolerance”in Amsterdam - We wanted to maximize activities in Amsterdam while we were awaiting to depart on a river cruise. We chose this tour based on the description and the positive reviews. Our... read more tour guide, Catherine, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Amsterdam. We learned quite a bit more than we had expected. We would highly recommend Catherine again in the future without reservation. Her background as an ex-pat from the States, as well as being very well traveled, benefited us tremendously.
December 2, 2022History is sad - I arrived at the location around 9:45 AM and I was waiting for someone to come. However, a lady approached me and asked if I booked for a tour, I... read more answered with yes and I showed her my bold information but I wasn’t with her and the time was 10AM. So, she included me in her group and waited for the others. No one comes, yes, so we started the tour and it was amazing and sad.
She explained to me a lot of stuff about the jews, WWll and the resistance movement etc.. I was holding myself to not cry because of the horrors and everything on that time.
I wish the tour lasted longer to learn about the history but hopefully next time.
Thank you tour guide
