History and present of Dam Square
Dam Square Historu Old Picture Photo
It was created in the 13th century when a dam was built around the river Amstel to prevent the Zuiderzee sea from flooding the city. During the sixties, the square was renowned for its Dam Square hippies. These days it is one of the main tourist sights and expect lots of entertainment. And pigeons. In spring, there may be a carnival on or you can have a go on the colourful ferris wheel. In the summer months, mimers and other street performers come out to surprise unexpected onlooker
Red Light District (De Wallen)
Pass by
The Amsterdam Red Light District is one of the most talked-about neighbourhoods in the city, due to its housing of the world’s oldest profession. While prostitution can be found all across the globe, it usually happens behind closed doors. But not in Amsterdam! In the Red Light area Known as “De Wallen” (pronounced Day Vaw-len) to the Dutch, you’ll find prostitutes offering their “services”, from behind a window. Along with that, the area is known for its many live sex shows, sex shops, brothels, and strip clubs. Although the area used to be quite a notorious and unsafe area, things have changed a lot over the past decades. Besides pickpockets, the area is fairly safe to visit especially during the daytime. The oldest erotic theatre in the area is Casa Rosso, which until today, can be visited for some 18+ action. There’s no such thing as an age restriction to walk through the area, however, the adult shops and adult entertainment do not allow minors.

Anne Frank House
Pass by
The Anne Frank House (Dutch: Anne Frank Huis) is a writer's house and biographical museum dedicated to Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank. The building is located on a canal called the Prinsengracht, close to the Westerkerk, in central Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
During World War II, Anne Frank hid from Nazi persecution with her family and four other people in hidden rooms, in the rear building, of the 17th-century canal house, later known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis). She did not survive the war but her wartime diary was published in 1947. Ten years later the Anne Frank Foundation was established to protect the property from developers who wanted to demolish the block.
The museum opened on 3 May 1960. It preserves the hiding place, has a permanent exhibition on the life and times of Anne Frank, and has an exhibition space about all forms of persecution and discrimination. In 2013 and 2014, the museum had 1.2 million visitors

I had the yellow rickshaw with...
I ordered the yellow rickshaw with a red heart, but received a "plain" one
It was about that lovers rickshaw because I wanted to surprise my husband after 50 years of marriage. Viator should have checked that beforehand.
The ride was fine and the driver was very kind and friendly.

Thank you very much!!
Unfortunately the flower decoration is just for spring and summer time.

Great Rickshaw Tour in Amsterdam
Lampros was a Great tour guide and very friendly on this Rickshaw/pedalbike tour. He picked us up at our hotel as scheduled. As we toured around he stopped many places and explained the sites to us. He was very interested in making sure we enjoyed our tour and got to see many sights. Using this Rickshaw is a great way to see many of the hidden gems of Amsterdam.

So worth it!
Excellent! Highly recommended! Got to see so much of the city without having to walk, and our driver/guide Dido was great, helping us understand the history of the city and how it was built, and making sure we saw the most important sights. We chose the 1hr tour and felt that was sufficient to see what we wanted to see. He also let us customize pickup and drop off location the day of, which was very convenient.
