The tour was rich in information and was very nice. There were 2 problems - one: most of the explanations are done standing in one place between walking between places, sometimes standing for half an hour straight in the freezing cold. It was not pleasant. Two: the guide is simply charming and full of information, but his accent is so strong unfortunately that we were unable to understand almost a word even though we are excellent in English.

This tour was amazing!! Highly recommend! Scarlet our tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and knew a lot about the city’s history and architecture as well as the local pubs, coffeeshops and the red light district! Thanks Scarlet you were a legend, love your Aussie friends!

More than what we expected. Stefan was well prepared an well researched. Safe option to familiarise folks who are curious but uncomfortable to walk in red light district on your own. You also pass by coffee shop if you want to try out Amsterdam coffee culture.
