Discover Amsterdam’s infamous Red Light District on a fun and engaging tour with a guide speaking German, English, Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hungarian or Dutch. Learn about the lives of sex workers, including average earnings, working conditions, and the realities behind the profession.

Gain insight into the history of Amsterdam’s coffeeshops, the current political landscape, and why they are seen as both a blessing and a challenge for the city.

Starting at the National Monument on Dam Square, stroll to Warmoesstraat, one of Amsterdam’s most well-known LGBTQ+ streets. Pass the Condomerie, a unique condom shop, and hear about the city’s history of contraception.

See the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam’s oldest church, and explore its fascinating and paradoxical connection to the Red Light District.

Learn more about how interactions between clients and sex workers work, including pricing, expenses, room rentals, taxation, and safety measures.

Discover the origins of the Red Light District and visit the historic harbour area that contributed to its development. Stop for a photo at the iconic “dancing houses,” one of the city’s most picturesque sights.
Explore the evolution of Amsterdam’s coffeeshop culture, how it was established, the challenges it faces today, and what the future may hold. Please note that this tour does not include a visit inside a coffeeshop, but you are free to explore them at your own pace afterwards.

Finish the tour with personalised recommendations from your guide, including tips for further exploring the Red Light District and optional experiences such as visiting a traditional 1970s-style peepshow.
