Our guide was...
Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and exceeded all of our expectations. He helped us find our meeting location easily despite huge crowds. Highly recommend this interesting tour!

Exceptional Experience Thanks to Aarre
Aarre was an outstanding guide and truly made our Amsterdam tour memorable. His knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and landmarks was exceptional, and he took the time to explain everything in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. His friendly personality and great conversations throughout the tour kept us interested from start to finish. We never felt rushed, and he was happy to answer all of our questions with enthusiasm. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, I highly recommend requesting Aarre as your guide—you’ll have an informative, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience!

Really nice experience, great guides with good facts and humor. Understand a bit of local culture now. Very small groups so high quality.

Great Tour and Tour Guide
Paul was very thorough and did a great job showing us the intricacies of Amsterdam’s Red Light District. It made a difference to have someone who knew the ins and outs and could tell you things you couldn’t get by just walking there yourself. The tour was top rate.

Perfect Red Light Tour!
Paul was so much fun on our tour! I loved not having to navigate that area myself and seeing the things I probably would've missed. Definitely a fun way to see this part of the city!! A must do! It was sad to end the tour because I think Paul would've been good fun for the rest of the time we had there 😂

Excellent Tour - Amsterdam Red Light
Paul was my tour guide and he was engaging and knowledgable about the Red Light District, learned about the history and visited each of the areas that make this area come alive at night. I highly recommend!
S
Great tour of the red light district!
Our tour guide was great. It was just my boyfriend and I on the tour so it was very casual and fun! It was about 1-1.5 hours which was perfect. We went early at 5, suggest maybe going later but it was still perfect for us as we had plans after. Highly recommend.

Unexpected date change - did not participate
Unfortunately I was not able to do this tour. I received a text message a day before requesting a time and date change. I accepted the change; then realized they also changed the date. I was not in Amsterdam on the date requested. I’ve requested a refund, but no response/confirmation has been received.
Operator response
We just send you a whatsapp message with what you agreed with us. You could have contact us or Viator instead of the guide (guides don't provide refunds) and then blame us where you made a mistake in your agenda. We are still open to talk about refund, if you would follow the normal procedure by contacting us or Viator. A 1 star review is not part of that. Hope to hear from you! Peter
