Anna was a good tour guide, tour was interesting
Thank you for sharing this ❤️ We’re very happy to hear you had such a lovely time on the tour!
Thank you so much; Anna is #1 the best guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful especially helpful to someone who wasn’t feeling well. Learned a lot about the history of the red light district, appreciate it!
We were a group of 6 women and 1 man. Johanna led the tour very nicely. Everything was very interesting and informative. Despite a thunderstorm and a short "break," the tour was great and Johanna told us a lot. I was very satisfied. The group size was perfect, so Johanna could also address everyone and answer questions well.
Wie schön zu hören, dass euch die Tour so gut gefallen hat 🥰 Wir freuen uns wirklich sehr über dein Feedback, ganz lieben Dank dafür! ❤️

Very good guide and very informative. Could have either a bit more walking and a little less talking towards the end as it got cold stood around
Very good. Very informative. Basically tells you the history of the sex industry and will answer all questions one mught be afraid to ask when shopping for said sex. Plan on going on the tour before paying for a lady and you'll know what to do and how the whole process works.
A playful little tour with our guide Nastassia, who wonderfully explained the rules and the history of the red-light district to us.
C'est formidable ! Merci beaucoup !🥰
The site was not necessarily a great place to visit. However, Sofia G., our tour guide was wonderful. Knowledgeable, friendly and very professional despite being a young guide. She is an asset to the company.
Thank you very much! 🌷☺️
Our guide Lea was excellent. Great information, interesting facts, and background knowledge. All in all, a great tour. Highly recommended.
