    Had a fantastic tour with around the coffee shops and red light district last week. Our guide Erik was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took great care of us during our tour. If you’re looking for a good way of getting to know the city this is a great way of doing so.

    Take the tour, you won't regret it. Our guide, Erik, was hysterically funny & so much fun. He's very knowledgeable about the history of the city & seemingly knows everyone in the Red Light district. Take the tour to learn the background of Amsterdam & get a safe introduction to their infamous nightlife.

    It was pride week so foot movement in Amsterdam was delayed, because the crowds were the he’s jest I’ve ever seen there. We hit up a coffee shop that I have never gone to and I had music that I liked and just a good vibe. We combined the tour with the gay bar tour, which was cool bc our initial tour was rescheduled at the last minute due to the parade. This was absolutely fine, but it would be better if we get the text before of the rescheduling before the start time of the original tour……. So it was nice ti get the extra tour with our original tour. Our group was great. Very mixed in ages and origin of living.
