Very much enjoyed the red light district tour. A little too much chatting at the beginning but once we got moving was really great. Our guide was awesome. I appreciated his talents in being able to communicate the respect that is needed and should be given when you’re in the red light district to the workers. Really glad I went and glad I went at night to see the happenings.
Sander is a great tour guide. He has a real passion for history and imparted just the right amount of information to keep everyone interested. I definitely recommend this tour of the Red Light District
Sanders was very informative and helped us to better understand the history behind the red light district. This was not just a “red light” district only tour but truly educational
Sander was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He was very thorough about the tour, taking his time to explain everything related to the tour. He even go above and beyond to give us a lot more details about the district then we expect. Definitely highly recommend the tour.
Sander was great. He walked us through the red light district and gave us great history on the area and Amsterdam itself. We also walked beyond the red light district to see some other areas and how they evolved. Sander was great fun and knew the history very well. I highly recommend this tour.
Sander was a marvelous guide ..... We went on a family tour of the red light district with him. He adjusted his walking pace to accommodate the group and gave us a real insight into the history of the area. We learnt about the licences, rentals of rooms, the development of the area, and the governments future plans alongside loads of other things. So much better than wandering on your own. Highly recommend
Sander guided our family around the red light district on their recent visit. His knowledge of history and real estate gave great insight into the inner workings of the district.
