Tour guide did not show up!!
We showed up at location we were told to and no one came. We arrived at 5:30 and waited u til 6:10. What a ripoff. I would advise not booking with this group.
Operator response
Hi Mary. We're really sorry about the issues caused here. We actually closed this tour months previously and due to errors with our booking system, we never noticed this booking you made with us. I hope you are somewhat pleased with the full refund for the price of your tickets. I apologize again for the inconvenience caused to you.

Friendly, relaxed, and made to feel comfortable
The tour was excellent and full of historical context for the red light district. It wasn't a salacious foray into the unknown but rather a comfortable journey into a new experience. When planning and arriving at the start of the tour we were trepidatious but our guide allayed our fears quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We learned a lot about Amsterdam, it's rich history, and the Red Light District itself.
