Overview

Explore the iconic Red Light District in a group led by a knowledgeable local guide who calls this vibrant area home.

Your guide will share fascinating insights into the district’s past and present, covering everything from the origins of sex work to the latest controversies. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of Amsterdam's progressive stance on prostitution and coffee shops, all while debunking common myths about this famous area.

Due to city regulations prohibiting guided tours within the Red Light District since 2020, our tour takes you through the surrounding areas instead. At the tour’s conclusion, you'll receive a detailed map and insider tips, allowing you to confidently explore the heart of the district on your own. Plus, you’ll get a special souvenir to remember your visit—a little token that’s sure to make you smile.

Join us for an educational and eye-opening adventure, and see the Red Light District through the eyes of a true local!
