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.

Great tour guide but tour seemed unorganized. Ben was very informative and blended historical information with humor. We covered the Amsterdam Red Light area but the tasting part of the tour never really materialized. We had to suggest the one stop we made to taste local food.
Our tour guide Andrea was fabulous and made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend. We really enjoyed the history and she was extremely knowledgeable.
Andrea did a wonderful job of showing us the sights and food of Amsterdam. She explained the history and culture of the Red Light District and the area surrounding it. She introduced us to food we wouldn't have known to try. She was very informative and fun to be with.
Andrea took my wife and I on a wonderful tour. We were the only ones on the tour and Andrea treated us wonderful. She let us do whatever we wanted. This was not just a typical Red-light District tour. We learned so much local history and tried several types of food. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Great and informative experience with Andrea
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
