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.

Great Tour and Guide

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.
