Amsterdam free and easy : Sandeman redlight district tour

 http://www.newamsterdamtours.com/daily-tours/red-light-district-tour.html

We decided to join a tour because we feel awkard walking around the redlight district alone and we can understand more about the history and details.

This time round, my tour guide is spunky girl.

She is more interesting and cheerful. I like her much better than my previous guide.

She presented everything it a chirpy and factual way so there is no need to feel shy or awkward.

I did not take photos as no photography was allowed at the redlight district and this was also basic respect to the girls working there.

After the tour, everyone was given one drink at a little pub.

Whether you get a guide that you like, is a game of luck.

I did not really like mine as I find him arrogant, he sounded like a strict teacher bringing  students out on an excursion. However, he is not in the list of guides anymore.

The tour was interesting and covered a lot of places and I learned a lot about Amsterdam but I do feel a bit bored because my guide was not really interesting.

The tour is free but they do accept tips.

Give more if you think they are good.

If they are not, I think a very small token for their work.
