More than what we expected. Stefan was well prepared an well researched. Safe option to familiarise folks who are curious but uncomfortable to walk in red light district on your own. You also pass by coffee shop if you want to try out Amsterdam coffee culture.

The guide was very well prepared and entertaining with many interesting stories about Amsterdam. We walked for 2 hours and saw places one would not see without a guide. I strongly suggest Xavier if looking for a French guide in Amsterdam.

Thanks ELENA for hanging out with us in Amsterdam! Excellent guide - We had a great time! An affectionate greeting and hope to see you again in the future.

Fab tour guide (Michael)- very informative and learnt loads about the history of Amsterdam and prostitution!
