Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We took this canal cruise on our first evening in the city and it was absolutely wonderful. Frederik was a wonderful captain who showed us Amsterdam in an a truly unforgettable way. I highly recommend this experience."
"Frederik was a delightful host for our canal cruise. We spent two hours aboard the Delphine. Amsterdam’s canals were teeming with boats of every size and shape, as we glided through the waters and around old and older Amsterdam. It was a treat to be in a smaller boat and with only a party of three, instead of those long boats bursting at the seams with large groups. Extremely knowledgeable, Frederik regaled us with some of the history of Amsterdam’s past and present. Would recommend it highly to anyone interested in a canal cruise. "
"Loved our canal tour with Vanessa. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Weather didn't dampen our trip at all. Vanessa took us through the canals and explained the history and the architecture so we had a great sense of the city. Would definitely recommend doing this if you want a great personalized experience."
"Arunabha was a wonderful tour guide!! It was our first day in Amsterdam and we had booked the COFFEEHOUSE AND RED LIGHT DISTRICT TOUR. Little did we know there was so much history in the day and that the coffeehouse don’t sell coffee!! Arunabha explained the history of the red light district to today. Fascinating!!!"
"Elvira was absolutely lovely . We had an amazing time with her , and she read the situation very well . We are a little couple , with some old fashioned ideas, but this did not stop her . The tour was precise and comfortable , albeit quite eye opening . Do go and join her in the Red light district .. "
"We used Christa for a tour of the red light district. We were late of the tour and Christa kept in contact and was very patient. She was also very helpful when one of our party left a cell phone in the uber (which we got back) Christa was very knowledgable and we enjoyed learning about the history of the red light district and their cafes. I would definitely recommend Christa"
"Joram is a fun guy and incredibly interesting person to hang out and explore Amsterdam with. He’s extremely knowledgeable about everything and has his own history that’s a tour of its own. We did the red light + “coffee shop” tour and have near local knowledge on the best places to go thanks to Joram. "
"Did the red lights district and coffee shop tour with with Joe and would highly recommend him. A friendly, knowledgable guy who taught us a lot about the history of the city as well as helping us to plan the rest of our stay. We enjoyed our 2 hours with Joe. "
"Anne was a fantastic guide! She perfectly planned the tour for our group of 5 women and we were able to see things we would not have discovered on our own. Anne was also super flexible about where to meet and where the tour would end, which we really appreciated. Anne is friendly, laid back and knowledgeable - I'm not sure you could find a better tour guide! "
"first of all many thanks for not rescheduling it in spite of a freezing cold whether. Overall, Joe was just great - very interesting, off-the -beaten- track, flexible and creative, that is all on top of being knowledgeable of course."

Experience Amsterdam's Red Light District beyond the clichés. This historic area is filled with fascinating stories and cultural secrets. Discover the real Red Light District with a private local guide. Your unique Amsterdam story awaits!
Amsterdam's Red Light District, 'De Wallen,' is one of the oldest parts of the city. Dating back to the 14th century, it was a place where sailors sought entertainment near the harbor. Uncover its rich history.
The Red Light District is a symbol of Amsterdam's famous tolerant culture. Legal and regulated, it's a unique part of the city's social fabric. A local guide can explain the nuances of this approach.
Respect is paramount in the Red Light District. Taking photos of the workers is strictly forbidden. A private tour ensures you navigate the area's unwritten rules safely and respectfully for a better experience.
At the center of the Red Light District stands the Oude Kerk (Old Church), Amsterdam's oldest building. This stunning contrast of the sacred and the profane tells a unique story about the city's character.
Beyond the famous windows, the Red Light District is a vibrant neighborhood with quirky shops, traditional Dutch pubs ('brown cafes'), and hidden courtyards waiting to be discovered on your tour.
