Nice tech features and relevant content - Super nice. Pretty nick tech features and relevant content. I really enjoyed this tour! I went with two friends and we had a nice competition going on. This is a nice way to see Amsterdam's red light district through a new lens. The content is interesting, has depth and is presented in a cool way. I actually learned a lot!
