Great tour guide

Published on Nov, 2024

Sander was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He was very thorough about the tour, taking his time to explain everything related to the tour. He even go above and beyond to give us a lot more details about the district then we expect. Definitely highly recommend the tour.

Great informative tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Sander was great. He walked us through the red light district and gave us great history on the area and Amsterdam itself. We also walked beyond the red light district to see some other areas and how they evolved. Sander was great fun and knew the history very well. I highly recommend this tour.

Informative tour enjoyed by all the family aged 30-68!

Published on Sep, 2024

Sander was a marvelous guide ..... We went on a family tour of the red light district with him. He adjusted his walking pace to accommodate the group and gave us a real insight into the history of the area. We learnt about the licences, rentals of rooms, the development of the area, and the governments future plans alongside loads of other things. So much better than wandering on your own. Highly recommend

Discover the origin of this cultural hotspot

Published on Sep, 2024

Sander guided our family around the red light district on their recent visit. His knowledge of history and real estate gave great insight into the inner workings of the district. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the origin of this cultural hotspot, and/or feels like they need a helping hand navigating the lively streets!
