Disappointed in tour. He talked about the buildings constantly and very little about history. He walked us all over and we had no idea where we were. He was hard to understand. Over all I would not recommend this tour
This was my 3rd tour during my 2.5 day Amsterdam stay. I made a rookie mistake and didn’t check his credentials at the designated meeting spot (random hotel). This didn’t un nerve me until 1/4 of the way through - when I realized he could be any body leading me through the small desolate alley ways. Alas.. That is on me. But He couldn’t tell me when city hall was built, yet was eager to show me his favorite sex shop. He told me to smile at the sex workers. He waved and smiled at them. He talked at length about the glories of sex work. Suggested a condom I might get for my husband…. asked if I was until hallucinogens… It was just too much for me. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy many aspects of the tour - except that, 2 days later, I’m realizing I did not like the tour. And it costs me $200 more than I had paid for any tour. Live and learn. I should have stopped immediately and asked for credentials. I should have spoken up 10min into the Red Light District. Shoulda Woulda Coulda
We are really sorry that you did not enjoy the tour. I usually do the tours myself but unfortunately I was sick that day. However our guide Charlie is a great guide as well and he was really surprised by your review. The tour you booked is about the Red Light District so most people that book this tour are really interested about the area and history of sex work. Since it is a private tour everything is very flexible and if you wanted to skip the Red Light District area that would have been no problem. Unfortunately to Charlie you came across as very interested and asked loads of questions.
I truly enjoyed this tour. Tony was an awesome guide, and was very flexible. We had to stop back at our hotel prior to starting because we had packages to drop off, and he didn’t blink. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Amsterdam. Bring you walking shoes though!
Tony gave us a fabulous tour. We were impressed with his knowledge and communicated well. We recommend him highly.
This tour was amazing! Our guide Tony provided great insight of the city as well as the culture. Tony was extremely accommodating and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour.
