Great tour of Red Light District - This was an excellent tour and worth every dollar spent. Robin was our tour guide and he was exceptional. I highly recommend this tour. The 2 hours flew by. We liked that this tour was just our private group. If we visit Amsterdam again, we plan to book another tour with Robin. Can’t speak more highly of him.

Don’t book this tour - Horrible experience. The weather had high winds and tain and they expected me to subject myself to those unpleasant conditions. Don’t waist your money or time with this tour - the tour guides are farmed out by a business and that business is beyond horrible.
