Great tour of the history of the Red Light District! We learned not only about its history, but also present day impacts on the community.

Nina was a lovely tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the practices, the laws, the processes and the women who worked the area. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Our tour operator was great (thanks Lea), the tour was well delivered even in less than ideal weather.
Tour operator was engaging and presented well, didn't feel rushed at all was definitely a good tour to get a feel for the city.
Would recommend!!

Absolutely fantastic!!!
Our tour guide, Marta, was amazing!!
Not only was she witty, but extremely knowledgeable in the Red Light district and could keep the conversation interesting and didn’t hold back any punches. Marta was fantastic and we got lucky having her as a tour guide. We learned so much about the Red Light District. What to do and what not to do. And the topic of Sex was truly on adult level with all the professionalism combined. Definitely book this one and ask for Marta!!!

This was an excellent tour. Marta was fabulous and she was very clear that tours are no longer allowed in the red light district but she points you in the direction and gives you instructions to explore once during the tour and at the end. Because of this you walk the perimeter and learn the fascinating history and current status. It was a great way as a solo female traveler to explore the district. Dress for the weather!
I suggest the 8pm tour as the district was very busy and alive. Also to note the tour ends at a different spot and I had no issues walking through the district myself and then back towards the square on my own.
My bar is high when it comes to tours and this one was great!
