    The Red Light District and Coffee shop culture are sure bets that NEVER should be missed when on a trip to Amsterdam. Viator is very easy way to book private tours and they stand by there policies. A MUST-SEE and DO!

    Was a good way to see everything safely, we went everywhere, our guide Claudia Fiumara was outstanding a great story teller, we had a lot of fun with her, went into the coffee shops basements, she was fearless. Just a nice way to spend a evening, we would recommend doing this, you see way more than going on your own, would have never seen the smallest window street just a little wider than me. She like one of the family, even if I don't agree with all of her views of the world. Thanks so much we enjoyed ourselves a lot! Donna and BRUCE

    Great tour for the walker. There is a lot of history in the Red Light District that I never would have known about had I not taken the tour. Learned about the neighborhood and places were recommended for food and to see. Good tour.

    We did the private Red Light District tour a few weeks ago. Audrey was our awesome guide. It's well worth the money to do a private tour because she customized it to our preferences. She also gave us great tips and ideas about what to see/do/eat while in Amsterdam.

    The Red Light District and Coffee Shops are a MUST SEE OR DO while in Amsterdam! Colorful, gaudy, or raunchy is the mode here. View many red light establishments, great at night, of course with all the colorful lighting. The coffee shops are a MUST DO for those of us who are interested in reliving the past but clearly these are in the present. Great time, definitely go to this area. It may be the #1 area to tour in Amsterdam!

    Our tour guide did a fantastic job of sharing not only info on the Red Light District and its history, but also general info on Amsterdam as a whole and its history. It sounds like there might not even be a Red Light District in a few years, with the increased awareness of human trafficking and the like. Sad to see the old ways going away but maybe in this case justified. Get there before it's gone!

    We booked a private walking tour of the Red Light District through Babylon tours. Our guide, Antoine, was excellent and gave us a wonderful history of the city, the Red Light District, and the coffee houses. He customized the tour to match our interests and we were super pleased. I highly recommend visiting this area.
