We had a great tour with Aarre. We learned about the history of the red light district and the problems facing it today. Visiting and learning about the coffee shops was very helpful as well. Aarre was informative, entertaining, and very respectful of the area. Super knowledgeable about the entire city, restaurants etc. too. We felt like we made a friend in Amsterdam. The tour is definitely worth it but Aarre made it great!

WOW what a great tour. Arra was amazing. He shared some great stories about the history of Amsterdam. What was really amazing was that he curtailed the tour to our interest. We have been on more tours than I can count and I can tell you, this was the best and our favorite. We highly recommend Arra Safari.

We had a wonderful tour of the red light district and other neighborhoods around there. It was a crazy day. King’s Day. Who knew? But our guide made it work. She was easy to understand, walked at our pace and answered all of our questions. Unfortunately, I can’t remember her name😒.

Had a really fun time on the tour. Our guide David was really friendly and personable and fun. Could ask him anything about anything. Went on the 6pm - 8pm tour on a Tuesday so apparently a bit early to see ladies in the windows but could have had a 2 euro 2 minute peep show if we had wanted! The red light district is really picturesque and didn’t feel seedy - can’t speak for later on at night! Stopped at a pub for a quick drink and a chat halfway round. Going back today to visit the museum of prostitution.

Very rushed. I wanted to take pictures and constantly told not to. I'm in a city on vacation and told I cannot take pictures . This is unacceptable. Two girls left our group after about 40 minutes bc it was so bad. This was a waste of money.
