Highlights

Hello, my name is Sandro and I am a local tour guide in Amsterdam. I offer you during this tour in a relaxed environment with a mixed group insights into the history and origin of the city and the red light district, as well as information on the current conditions. We investigate many questions together, and clarify, for example, how a meeting with a prostitute works, what green and blue lights in windows in the red light district mean, what security is like or the differences to the red light district in Hamburg. In a tour of about 2 hours we pass through China Town, the New Market and also the well-known "old church".

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.

The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.

Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
