On this easygoing walking tour through some of the oldest streets in the city, you’ll get a better understanding of Amsterdam’s nightlife and its most talked-about areas. Along the way, you’ll also see areas with a high concentration of coffee shops and smart shops, and learn about their role in the city.

We didn’t get to go! The guide was only Spanish speaking- not English as booked! We would like a refund please

I did the tour of the Red Light District in Amsterdam with Carolina and it was a super enriching experience. You could tell that she was super well prepared and perfectly mastered the subject. It wasn’t your typical shallow tour: it gave us a lot of concrete details, historical data and curiosities that really made a difference. In addition, it explains everything in a very clear and enjoyable way, making the tour interesting at all times.

This was such a great experience. My tour guide Bea was excellent. Very knowledgeable and taught me soo much regarding the rich history of the red light district. I most definetly recommend you give this tour a try.
We’re so happy to hear you had such a great time exploring the De Wallen. It’s a fascinating area with a complex and rich history, and having the right guide truly makes all the difference. Bea will be delighted to know her knowledge and passion helped you learn so much. It’s wonderful when a guide can turn a walk into an insightful and memorable experience. Thank you for the recommendation — we’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Very good, was guided by Facundo the truth that explained to us the why of the red zone and the idiosyncrasies of the are people from Amsterdam and the Netherlands.
Facundo the guide great, clear and charming, I liked it very much. All the explanation with enormous respect, I've seen this world from another perspective.

We arrived for this tour in the agreed location just opposite Central Staation, on time and waited with the others. After a short while we noticed that we were the only UK people there and the 3 other groups, were Spanish and Italian. My wife and I had some reservations... we were approached by our tour guide Bea who informed us that she would be our guide and that we would be the only couple having the tour in English. It felt slightly strange to begin with however, this did not last! Bea was so friendly and kind, with a lovely personality. She talked us through so much and her knowledge and understanding on Amsterdam was impeccable. We walked for 2 hours and despite the horrible weather, time flew by. Bea explained about the whole history of the city and the red light district. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. If there is one trip to do when you are in Amsterdam, this should be it. Would recommend it 100% and felt it was definitely worth the money.
