Oh Matilda my Matilda, this tour was pure vibes abd great music from beginning to end. I met new people, played some new games and was overloaded with shots in thirty minutes but balanced it well with the different cider options (if you're into that) at each bar. One of the best host ever was Matilda, I truly appreciate how welcoming and inclusive you were with everyone in the group.
This tour is 10 out if 10 if you are visit Amsterdam and if you're not then you need to plan a visit lol.
Can't wait to plan a trip and do it again!!!!!

It's a four pub crawl. No information on the red light district. Great to meet new people and share some stories.

Great Experience! Met so many people ! The guides were super fun & very Nice. Bars were fun a lot of dancing & games
Mira_S, Oct 2025
My friend and I booked the red light pub crawl experience and we both had an amazing time! We wanted to go out but as we’re both young women thought it would be safer to go in a group. There was about 15-20 people in our group and two guides which were both super energetic and attentive! Each venue had a free shot that varied based on the location and each location also had a fun drinking game! During the event you will also be given a wristband and added to a groupchat with everyone throughout the night to make sure you don’t get lost! I had ALOT of questions after booking and Elio was incredibly helpful and provided detailed responses. I could not recommend this more!

Great night exploring some of the bars in Amsterdam. Our tour host Elzo was great! Super fun guy to chat with all night. Knew the area well. He was able to recommend more things for my girlfriend and I to check out & set up games at the first 2 bars. Made it easy to get to know other people on the crawl.
James_C, Oct 2025
Had an amazing night with my amazing tour guide ANDRE and VEDANT they were both Superstars if I could rate more than five stars I would!
Gabriela_T, Sep 2025
We had such a great experience on this bar crawl! It was super interactive, and you were actually able to get to know people within your group because the hosts would initiate conversations or games amongst the group. This is great for a solo traveller who wants to make friends or even groups of people who want to make more friends. Andre, Tay, and Soraya were amazing hosts! Would highly recommend this bar crawl if you’re ever in Amsterdam.

We arrived at the meeting point early and stood awkwardly outside the designed bar for 20 mins. The girl inside the bar clearly saw us waiting and made no attempt to make contact. Finally figured out she was our guide who acted as if she was embarrassed to be forced to hang out with a bunch of middle aged Americans. The only thing she did was walk us from bar to bar while ignoring us and chatting with her male companions. No tour. Not even polite conversation. She just scrolled her phone, smoked and chatted with her friends. The local youth was more interested in talking to us than our PAID guide! Felt like we were an unwanted third wheel on a date! We finally just left in the middle of the tour. So.. if you’re hot and under 23, this is the tour for you. But for the rest of us, don’t pay money for this.
Elizabeth_K, Sep 2025
We had fun and it was a good way to meet people, but the tour itself was just okay and not really worth the money. The free shots tasted like room temperature cough syrup, and the 4 bars we went to were practically empty besides our tour group. One of our guides left before the second or third bar, and the remaining tour guide walked us to the club and then left without even going in with us. There were also only 4 women on the tour and 15+ men - it was okay since I was with a partner but would have been extremely awkward for a solo female traveler.
Matthew_M, Aug 2025
Was very expensive for the tour guides to bring us to very empty bars on a Saturday night. The tour guides were very pleasant but the selection was absolutely awful and most people decided to leave by the 2-3rd bar, especially when one of them told us to be quiet both inside and outside the bar. Anecdotally, about 10 people decided their hostel would be more fun and left for there.

A good way to sample some of the bars within the red light district and meet fellow travellers. Unfortunately on our tour, the 2 hosts were lacking in enthusiasm and we left early.
Stephanie_P, Aug 2025
Denisa and Matilda were great hosts and we had a great group of people so the night was really fun! This is a great way to meet other groups of people if you’re travelling through Amsterdam. The only negative was the last stop, which was the club we went to. It was dead and there was an entry fee to use the toilets despite being a paying customer within the club.
Roger_H, Aug 2025
From the start to finish the Red Light Bar Crawl was epic! Lots of drinks, people, good music, and great hosts! Definitely a must do if you’re coming to Amsterdam!
DIANE_H, Jun 2025
The hosts were very friendly and helpful but the tour itself wasn’t very interesting and the shots tasted like cough syrup and honestly it wasn’t worth the money we could of done this ourselves going from bar to bar.
Maxwell_A, Jun 2025
Over booked and really should of been age appropriate. My wife and I are 50/60 and it wasnt ideal. We thought the group would be 20/30 it was double that
Satish_B, May 2025
I had a great time at this pubcrawl. Lilli and Daniel were fun and great hosts. They were well organized and coordinated. They made sure that the folks are engaged in each bar and they were also extremely friendly!
Vanessa_N, May 2025
Fun way to spend the night when an Amsterdam. We had so much fun! Definitely recommend this experience.
Ivor_M, Apr 2025
The overall experience exceeded my expectations. The two young organisers, I can't remember their names, but they did a great job of keeping the group interactive and entertained. We had been to some of the bars before but not all of them so nice to try somewhere new. A great way to meet felloe travellers.
Artur_B, Apr 2025
Best host lily was so kind i honestly had such good fun and would recommend this to anyone haha best night
Jenny_L, Mar 2025
Fun night, good mix of different bars. Hosts were ready with pub games to keep people engaged (cards, beer pong). Met some fun people over the night, even met upfor drinks again before we left. Free shots were ok (super sweet bottled shots).
josh_b, Mar 2025
The experience and was a ton of fun. Our bar crawl group Matila went above and beyond to make it fun.
Dorienne_D, Mar 2025
It was a great experience and a wonderful way to see RLD while meeting new people. Lilli was an amazing tour guide who kept everything light and fun.

Thank you!!
Jazleen_A, Mar 2025
Great event! Hosts are a lot of fun and very attentive to everyone! I would recommend for anyone wanting to party in the Red Light District
Response from Host, Mar 2025
We’re thrilled you had fun! Looking forward to next time!
Candace_R, Mar 2025
Matilda was my guide and was wonderful! She did her best to make sure that myself and the other participants were having a good time. She even offered to be available for questions or recommendations on other activities/establishments. However, this is one of those things that if you are a solo traveler, especially a female, then it’s probably not going to be so great. I was the only woman in my group, and while the gents were nice and respectful (for the most part… one guy did try to kiss me) towards me, they were incredibly disrespectful about the women working in the industry.
Chris_W, Mar 2025
Ryan & Elio was great! The bars were solid and it was a fun itinerary. When I’m back from the USA I will book again!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Much appreciated.
Alonso_V, Mar 2025
Terrible implementation of pub crawl. Got to the first bar tonight, the peopld who recieved us was friendly and told us we leave to second bar in 90mins.
No further interactions, introduction nor games. Everyone was very bored just talking with whatever friend they came with. We basically paid to have the right to purchase beers in different bars. I left just before moving to the second bar and saw more people leaving at the same time. The reps of the "tour" were just talking among themselves and on their phone.
Today was money directly to the thrash.
The first bar only accepted cash in purchases under 20euro, else you would have to pay 1 extra euro.
Karly_W, Feb 2025
Abit disappointed with this experience as you just had free shots and that is all includes included in this. Nobody interacted with each other, no games , nothing. We might aswell of just gone out on a night out without this experience as it was a waste of money. We came a few years ago and our experience of a pub crawl was nothing like this as the last one we did was amazing. Free drinks, free t shirt and the bars we were taking to were amazing and everyone mingled together and had so much fun.
Robert_C, Dec 2024
Bit disappointing. Far too many people, poorly organised, instructions not very clear. Free shots a waste of time
Danielle_P, Nov 2024
Such a fun experience. Great staff. Met some new friends. The free shots are designated just fyi. I booked the 2 day tour. Worth it
Monique_M, Oct 2024
In all my trip this was my favorite and I highly Recommended especially if you're a solo traveler like myself. Firstly Samu and Beno were amazing. They made everyone feel involved and had lots of games and activities that kept everyone entertained. I didn't feel like a solo traveler. They were friendly and our course the free shots made it even better. I even had a cocktail created in my name and one of the pub I went. If you visit Amsterdam I recommend adding to you to do list.
