The smallest house of Amsterdam was built around the 1700s and was first used as storage place for the VOC trading company. Later on people started living in the house for a very long time.
The area is a part of the Red Light District, tob e specific, part of the Old Town area. So this is the oldest part of the city that is why there is a lot of history as well.
Pub The Ape, also known as Int Aepjen in Dutch. Built around 1540 and one out of two remaining wooden buildings left in Amsterdam. Which is very special as there was a big fire in 1452 and after that point the government decided that buildings should have brick facades.

Our guide was fantastic and really knew his stuff
Great tour of this diversified area with long standing history . Andrea was a fabulous tour guide. Very knowledgeable.
Scarlet was well versed and gave insight to all the secrets of the district.
Our guide took time to get to know us and understand our expectations prior to taking us on the tour.
Kevin did a great job telling us about the red light district and a little about the people living in the red light area
Really good tour, very informative friendly and at the right pace . Andrea was a really good guide and we really appreciate the time she took to really explain things to us.
If you want to take a tour of the Red Light District in Amsterdam, you MUST do it with Ben! 😄 Ben was incredibly likeable, mega funny and extremely experienced from the first minute. You immediately noticed how much knowledge and passion he brings to the story and the special stories around Amsterdam. He told everything so excitingly and humorously that we were completely interested all along and were already eagerly waiting for the next story. Not once boring – on the contrary: We could easily have listened to him for hours! You can just tell that Ben knows exactly how to inspire people while creating a super pleasant atmosphere. Absolute recommendation from the heart ❤️ Thanks for this unforgettable tour!
Dank für Ihre großartige Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie so eine unvergessliche Tour mit Ben hatten und seine Energie und Persönlichkeit so geschätzt haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!
Rich and awesome experience the whole way through! Andrea was fantastic knowledgeable and very kind. All our questions were answered with poise.
Thank you! Happy to hear Andrea made the experience so enjoyable and informative for your group.
Andrea was our amazing, informative, wonderful guide. She provided a very complete history of the red light district as well as of the city of Amsterdam. Pointed out key buildings and explained events that have shaped the city today. She provided a matter-of-fact descriptions of the historic and current laws regarding the red light district. Stops for pancakes, jenever, croquettes and stroopwaffles added appreciation for the area.
Thanks so much! Glad Andrea made the tour informative, fun, and full of great local history and snacks.
While the tour guide gave an interesting tour, he was reluctant to let us have any food. He offered us only 2 instead of the 3 selections advertised and asked us to share .. the 2 options in themselves were subpar … a boring stroopwaffle and a fast-food South American wrap. Was he looking to pocket the allotted cash? Not sure. Pretty disappointing as we’ve been on terrific secret food tours before with guides taking us to hidden jewel restaurants for fantastic treats.
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. The issue that you had booked this day on easter when a lot of the food places were closed so the guide had to find some alternatives.
