5.00If you want to take a tour of the Red Light District in Amsterdam, you MUST do it with Ben! 😄 Ben was incredibly likeable, mega funny and extremely experienced from the first minute. You immediately noticed how much knowledge and passion he brings to the story and the special stories around Amsterdam. He told everything so excitingly and humorously that we were completely interested all along and were already eagerly waiting for the next story. Not once boring – on the contrary: We could easily have listened to him for hours! You can just tell that Ben knows exactly how to inspire people while creating a super pleasant atmosphere. Absolute recommendation from the heart ❤️ Thanks for this unforgettable tour!
Lots of history and...

5.00Andrea was our amazing, informative, wonderful guide. She provided a very complete history of the red light district as well as of the city of Amsterdam. Pointed out key buildings and explained events that have shaped the city today. She provided a matter-of-fact descriptions of the historic and current laws regarding the red light district. Stops for pancakes, jenever, croquettes and stroopwaffles added appreciation for the area.
Interesting tour, very disappointed in food

2.00While the tour guide gave an interesting tour, he was reluctant to let us have any food. He offered us only 2 instead of the 3 selections advertised and asked us to share .. the 2 options in themselves were subpar … a boring stroopwaffle and a fast-food South American wrap. Was he looking to pocket the allotted cash? Not sure. Pretty disappointing as we’ve been on terrific secret food tours before with guides taking us to hidden jewel restaurants for fantastic treats.
