Private Walking Tour of Coffee Shops and Red Light District in Amsterdam
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Take an in-depth look into the world of coffee shops in Amsterdam and its famous Red Light District on this fun 3-hour walking tour with a private guide. Alongside a knowledgeable guide, learn about the Netherlands' long history with cannabis and its legalization before visiting three welcoming coffee shops. See an alternative side to Amsterdam with plenty of personalized attention from your guide as you relax in an Irish pub, stroll through the city's famous gay district along the Reguliersdwarsstraat, and visit medieval sites.
This 3-hour walking tour begins when you meet your personal guide at either 11am or 5:30pm (specify whether you'd like a morning or evening tour at the time of booking) outside Dam Palace in Amsterdam's Dam Square. Your knowledgeable guide shows you an alternative side to Amsterdam with plenty of personalized attention as you learn about the Netherlands' long history with cannabis and prostitution, its legalization, and the famously tolerant Dutch attitude toward both. Stop into three welcoming coffee shops in the city's Red Light District — each of which has passed the tour operator's strict quality control standards. Stroll through the city's famous gay district along the Reguliersdwarsstraat and see secret medieval sites tucked into the historical streets before relaxing in an Irish pub with your guide and ending your tour at the TKTKTK.
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.
