Half-Day Tour of Red Light District and Jordaan District with Private Guide in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Discover Amsterdam's most important sites on this 5-hour walking tour with a private guide. Go to several areas like the Red Light District, the famous Jordaan District, and the lively Albert-Cuyup Market. Enjoy a personalized experience with just your group and your professional local guide.

Take your pick of several departure times, and meet your private guide near Amsterdam's Central Station. Begin with a walk through the city's renowned Red Light District, where your local guide fills you in on the history of the famously tolerant Dutch attitudes toward the legalization of drugs and the sex trade. Explore this beautiful historic district's vibrant streets and learn about the coffee-shop culture, historical and modern politics, and Amsterdam's history. 

Next, head to the famous Jordaan District, a former working-class neighborhood with a rich history. Stop by the famous Anne Frank house and the West Church and wander through the narrow, winding streets that are now home to trendy art galleries and shops. Continue to Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein, and take a break at a local cafe while you soak up the lively plaza atmosphere and enjoy a snack and a drink at your own expense. After you're refreshed, walk through Albert-Cuyp Market, one of the largest street markets in the Netherlands that has everything from vintage clothing to fresh-baked waffles.

On the last leg of the 5-hour tour, visit sites like the 14th-century Begijnhof and the Jewish quarter before concluding your walk at Dam Square or another location in Amsterdam's city center.
