About This Tour
This offers an unique and authentic look into the heart of Amsterdam’s most fascinating neighborhood. The guide will give you a deeper understanding of this fascinating and often misunderstood area. Discover the day-to-day realities of sex workers, the history of this centuries-old profession, and the Netherlands’ famously tolerant approach on prostitution and drug policies. Along the way, enjoy captivating stories and surprising anecdotes about the district’s past, its present, and even its recent controversies.
