What people are saying about Amsterdam Red Light District

It was a quite short and every knowledge tour! Our guide Aaron was really knowledgeable and funny! He provided us with the general information and facts about Amsterdam and the Netherlands and later on showed us the Red Light District and in precise details told us the whole history behind the district and the coffee shops, about sex workers working conditions and the locals living in this area! I would definitely recommend this tour if it’s your first time in Amsterdam ever!

Lovely cruise! Met some incredible people on the boat. I originally came alone but I left the boat with new friends that I’m planning to spend the rest of my stay with. Staff was nice, especially Olivia who kept on entertaining us. Would highly recommend for solo travelers!
