Lots of walking in and around the district with an outstanding guide, Carli. Good history, explanations, stories.

Amazing - a must do while in Amsterdam

We had an amazing tour with Raphael. It ended up being a small group as some people were unable to come along, but he used this as an opportunity to give us even more detail. There were so many interesting facts and it is so much more than just see the red light district, you learn a lot about Amsterdam! Highly reccomend!
