In the old harbor, we discuss the origins of the Red Light District, the role of the Church, and how the holy and the profane have found surprising ways to work and profit from each other over time & the state of prostitution in the 20th and 21st Century: how and why prostitution became a legal profession, how the neighbourhood has changed over time and the current challenges facing the most infamous neighbourhood of Amsterdam.

5.00It was a rainy day and pretty cool but Dani, our guide was fabulous keeping spirits up and moving with lots of interesting facts about the history of this interesting city and what lead to Amsterdam becoming the way it is today with so much tolerance and acceptance. Dani was great to talk with and answer all questions asked about anything, he kept it fun with humorous facts too. Thanks for an awesome tour!
Amateur & Unprepared 4 Hour Private Tour

2.00An overall odd tour experience, compared to others we've done, especially for a private tour. Admittedly the weather did not cooperate, but for a private tour and based on prior experience, we expected an option to pivot at the beginning. Instead we walked for hours in the cold rain and there was a lack of warm/dry planned stops. This was especially surprising, given the normal weather patterns in Brussels. The first stop, long and weird, because it took forever to get waffles (maybe not his fault, he was also frustrated). The second stop, they were not yet serving the dish he tried to order (I think it was his first time there), eventually we were dropped at a restaurant where he ordered for us then left. Mostly it all felt unintentional and unplanned. Prior tours we've done, the stops were all very clearly planned and appropriately timed. The strangest part, he ordered for us at the stops, including himself, then didn't pay for his own tab. I don't mind picking up a tab, but it felt awkward and confusing when asked to pay. We've never experienced this in the past. He was knowledgeable about history and passionate about this amazing city, but overall the tour seemed disjointed and unorganized. I would hesitate to book again for sure, especially as a private tour.

5.00I had a wonderful walking tour in Amsterdam with Esi. She was incredibly kind, fun, and very sweet throughout the whole experience. She showed us many beautiful parts of the city and shared a lot of interesting information about Amsterdam’s history and culture. Esi was also very helpful and patient with our questions, and you can really tell she enjoys what she does. She made the tour engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with her if you are visiting Amsterdam. Thank you, Esi, for such a lovely experience!
