Along the walk, you'll learn the history of the neighborhood and stop by highlights that many tours miss, avoiding some of the awkwardness of exploring the area on your own.
Take in the neighborhood's vibe as you pass the legendary nightlife hot spots and red-lit windows with services on offer. Your guide will talk at length about the origins, history, and modern-day iterations of the district and what it means to Amsterdam's culture as a whole. Highlights include the Hangover Information Center, the Museum of Prostitution, and the world's first condom shop.
After your tour, you can get pointers on where to explore further on your own from your guide.
