Here’s an overview of your activity

What better way to expose the secrets of the most legendary place in Amsterdam than over a delicious craft beer?

If you are curious to know more about the famous Red Light District, this is the tour for you! And what a better way to discover it than with a local insider, me!

Before I take you to wander the red-lit streets, we'll need a bit of "Dutch courage." Follow me to one of my favorite breweries, where we'll have a taste of the craft beer they locally brew. After that, we'll be ready to enter the Red Light zone.

Let's wander this place, where you can’t ignore the smell of cannabis while admiring the reflection of red lights in the 400-year-old canals. I'll share with you crazy stories and fun facts as we walk past sexy entrepreneurs, sex shops, kinky SM stores, and peep shows.

Along the way, there's another bar you should definitely check out. Fun fact: this bar used to accept monkeys as payment from sailors! Do you know what a smartshop is? I'll also take you to Kokopelli and will explain the Dutch drug's tolerance.

Any special wishes? Bachelor party? Include crazy games? Coffeeshops? Off the beaten track? As an experienced guide that lives right in the red lights, I know this city extremely well and can make the tour 100% personal to your needs!

I look forward to meeting you soon!
