Martin was the best
Tanisha
, Mar 2020
Martin was our guide and to say the least, he was very good at his job. He knows EVERYTHING about sex and drugs and was eager to share. He had a good sense of humor and his jokes were good. We learned alot about the politics, health care, benefits, and exactly how the free drugs and legal sex works. Very fascinating.

Excellent tour. David the your guide (from Canada) living in Amsterdam, a knowledgeable historian and excellent story teller. Covered a lot of information that we wouldn't know otherwise. He well explained the driving stories behind the Red light district, the religious, economic and legislative factors are interesting to learn and comprehend the reasons behind it. Unfortunately as of April 1st, 2020, the City of Amsterdam has banned to guided tours to the Red Light District.

Red Light District Tour with Martin
Roxanne A
, Oct 2019
Great tour of the red light district, drug culture and the history and current liberal views of Amsterdam. Not for the easily offended. Martin was an open book and very honest about the red light district and drug use in Amsterdam. Not your average tour, very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Despite being caught in a downpour me, hubby, 18yr old son and his girlfriend really enjoyed the tour. We would never have found the places or the facts/history for ourselves. A very non politically correct tour from a Dutchman very proud of his country. How refreshing! We felt it was great value for money, much more than the other stuff we did, so much so we were pleased to leave a tip, which is not usual for us!! Don't miss it.
