Andrea was great. She had a wealth of knowledge about the red light district and allowed us to see the entire area with explanations including the local laws and history of prostitution in Amsterdam. Well worth it to learn about this area.

Kathryn was such a fantastic tour guide. She knew the area so well, was able to answer all of our questions and made the whole tour extremely interesting. The food part of the tour is just right, the main focus is the history of the red light district with a small snack every 30 minutes. Ideal for all history-inclined tourists.

What a great tour! Aarre was a fantastic guide - Very knowledgeable about the city in the history of Amsterdam. We enjoyed walking through the old part of Amsterdam, trying some delicious food, and learning about the history and the current status of the red light District. There may be some changes to the district coming, so highly recommend this tour to those interested in the past and current status of this important part of Amsterdam history.

This was absolutely fascinating! But, I believe it was completely due to our guide, Caroline. As we walked throughout Amsterdam, she relayed a history & understanding of the Netherlands & the Dutch. Caroline showed us historical landmarks & occurrences that lead up to present day Amsterdam, with its cannabis shops, culture of tolerance & how the Red Light District came to be. Yes, we toured the Red Light District, thoroughly, & it was fascinating! Caroline explained the laws, how exchanges take place, which we witnessed, & the protections in place for all involved. We walked away with a tremendous respect for the Dutch people & their bravery & respect for all human beings.
Taking this tour with Caroline at the beginning of our trip saved us from a lot of missteps & misunderstandings. Something as simple as where to get a coffee (it’s not a coffee shop) or more importantly, if you find yourself in the Red Light District & need help.
For clarification, this is not exactly a food tour. You’ll get a sampling of some Dutch favorites, but it’s the nonstop, eyewitness experience of the Red Light District that is so incredible!

Aare is an excellent guide. He told us many fun facts and personal anecdotes. He gave us a history tour as well as the red light district and food stops. We ate herring, chicken satay, bao buns and beer. We were the only 2 people so he tailored it to us. Very enjoyable and educational. Highly recommend!
