Very nice private tour I had since I was the only one that day. Things started off a little rocky because I wasn't sure if the tour was going to go off. Trying to find a tour guide in A Dam Square can be next impossible, with all the moving people and parts. Once I located the tour guide it was a cool tour and Eric the tour guide was a cool dude from the US. He gave a lot of background on Amsterdam, the Red Light District and the City in general. I enjoyed the tour, great experience to see Amsterdam in this perspective, and it was a nice time for 2.5-3.0 hours it lasted on a beautiful day!

Again, this ended up being a private tour which was absolutely sensational! Our tour guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable. It felt like having a good friend show us Amsterdam!

Kaleb met me in my hotel lobby on-time. He was very nice and gregarious. He shared lots of history and funny stories as we walked around Amsterdam with stops in three different coffee shops. Since this was a one-on-one tour experience, I had a great time. He was nice enough to end the tour at my hotel. Can't wait to do this tour again next time I am in Amsterdam.

You need the right kind of guide to appreciate this tour. Our guide was Beatrix and she was perfect. She was great to give us history and context fothe Red Light District. While weed and prostitutes are legal in Amsterdam and are part of their history, I would say that this does not define Amsterdam. Beatrix was respectful we were adults, not the party crowd. This place is nothing like we have seen in the US, so it can be a bit shocking. You just have to decide if this is how you want to spend your time. Ladies are scantily clad, standing in full length windows advertising their product, them. The Coffee Houses are not for coffee, they sell weed. If you are not into that, it's OK.
