Top Netherlands Historical Tours - page 40

Learn more about Amsterdam’s famous Red Light District, from its medieval start to its present-day impact on the city, on this small-group tour than you would from any old guidebook. Discover another side of Amsterdam at a way more relaxed pace, rather than rushing or slowing down to account for a bigger group. While Amsterdam Red Light District tours are now limited to the perimeter, you can explore the area independently afterward.

The day starts with an early pick up at your hotel 8.00AM. Prior to departure, we have done online research based on the information you provide. We have put together a memorable tour packed with relevant and personal local family history. There will be time for lunch and the tour is very customizable as it is a private day out for your group! At the end of the day, we will bring you back to your hotel. All we need from you is (basic) information about your family (maybe you have a birth certificate or a wedding contract or a place of birth, maybe you have already done more extensive research) and at least a few days’ time to prepare the tour based on the research information you provide us!
