I love the reviews on here (not many) where people are surprised by the vibe here. We loved it. Captain Lee and her first mate Pixie provided for a very memorable experience during our October 2025 cruise. She gave us some valuable tidbits of Dutch, local, and cinematic (Amsterdamned for the movie trivia score) history. She also gave us relevant information about local current events and social movements. Captain Lee was funny, yet also notably well-informed. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our trip.

However, their headphones were all broken and I could not get the tour to work in any seat. No help from the captain and I did not get to learn about anything that I was seeing. The boat had a partial roof on that made it hard to actually see anything you were passing, unless you stood up, which you could only do briefly. When I explained what happened to the cashier, she refused to give me any sort of refund. This was not worth an hour of my time or the 10 euro ticket price. Try another company and avoid this rundown one.

It turned out that a working prostitute was stabbed to death by a customer while inside her window space just a matter of minutes before our group arrived. On a third try geographically farther down we successfully entered Amsterdam's main Red Light District. Different than Hamburg, where women are not allowed inside the city's designated Red Light District, here men and women are permitted to congregate together, and bars and restaurants abound in addition to sex shops, live shows, and working girls standing in windows along narrow alleyways off main streets. The women showing themselves to potential customers were by and large tall and quite attractive. Except for the presence of the human window displays, a passerby might think he or she was just in any other fun area of a major metropolitan city. Tour guide Kimberly provided interesting facts and historical commentary about the district as Diane, I, and the rest of our group walked several blocks as sightseers. The atmosphere on the streets was convivial, as several loud bar goers could be seen and heard imbibing beer and other alcoholic beverages just inside the front of several taverns dotting a main street. Both tourists and locals were in abundance in the early evening when our 90-minute tour unfolded. It ended with an included drink at a local bar/restaurant just outside the Red Light District. From what we were told, this type of tour inside the district may soon be legislated out of existence by local lawmakers, and strong political interests are seeking to push the prostitutes out of this special zone altogether. The recent murder of a professional prostitute here in plain daylight will likely provide additional fodder for the critics who argue that prostitution is inherently dangerous, and should not be legally protected or allowed in a special authorized geographical zone. So, if such a tour as this is of interest, it should be booked very soon.

This was a great tour. It was hilarious and informative…read more It was best way to be a tourist incognito. And the best way to see the city at night with a local as your guide. Kim (the fantastic tour guide) takes you all around the city and shows you where to find the good coffeeshops, smartshops, bars, sex shops, live sex shows, hookers and anything else you'd like to spend your money on. Kim was friendly, funny and answered ANY questions we had. The tour lasted about an hour and a half and was €12.50. We went on the 10pm tour on a Saturday night and really had a good time. So thank you Kim, I'm an Amsterdam hooker specialist now thanks to you.

I could not find a meeting address through the site that I purchased my ticket on so I stupidly went to the tour address- which was actually his home address. I could have met with the group only 2 miles away from my hotel. Bart came to pick me up as I was now only 10 minutes away from the tour office. He brought me safely to the bus meetup spot. Completely my mistake and I am eternally grateful for the help he provided to me. Beyond that our guide, Maria, was amazing! She was friendly, warm, thoughtful. knowledgeable and professional. She thought of everything. She even got a picture of the group together. She gave the tour wearing her own pair of clogs. She knew the history and purpose of every windmill. She gave helpful suggestions. She was patient with all of us. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. I would go in it again if I ever return to Amsterdam.

This was the highlight of my vacation to The Netherlands. We didn't know if we should go or not,…read morebecause it was raining, but decided to chance it. We took an Uber from our hotel out to the "Scooter Experience" and was dropped off, and was warmly welcomed. We were offered a coffee, and then given a short demo on how to ride the scooter. These are electric scooters with a high speed of 25 mph. They are really quiet, which I was thrilled about, as you can enjoy the beauty of the trail without having to listen to a loud motor. There are four different routes that you can choose from. We choose the "yellow" route which was the shortest of the four. You are given a map along with verbal instructions. You are to follow the route looking for your color of arrow to guide you along the way. You can take as long or as fast as you want but you have to be back at the start no later than 6:00pm. You are given a jacket, gloves, scarf, and stocking hat if you didn't bring yours, and if you feel like you need to bundle up. It was a cold raining day so we bundled up, and headed out. After a slow start we were finally out of the village, and were on our way......so much fun. The scenery is absolutely beautiful traveling through the country side. We were alone for a lot of the trail running into a few people here and there. It was pure heaven. Because it was cold and raining. We didn't meander but hurried through the trail only stopping a few times to take in the beauty. When I go back to The Netherlands I will make sure I book another "Scooter Experience" but a longer one next time:)

Such an intimate boat with an open bar, charcuterie board, and friendly tour guide. I made four or five mimosas before I calmed down. We asked questions about living in the Netherlands that are rather unconventional, and he still managed to answer all of them. He managed to balance guiding the boat and conversing with all guests very well. He also stopped for all the guests to take photos at particularly scenic points in our tour. Definitely worth it to take your tour in the evening while the sun is setting and the weather isn't too hot! Most people who came were celebrating engagements or honeymoons. If that doesn't speak to the testament of the quality of this place, I don't know what does! Trusting a spot with one of the few important moments in your life where you don't splurge is impressive. We definitely passed by our fair share of other boat cruises, and this one has the most lovely interior. The high rating on Yelp is well deserved. What a memorable moment of our Amsterdam trip.
