“Matilda was my guide and was wonderful! She did her best to make sure that myself and the other participants were having a good time. She even offered to be available for questions or recommendations on other activities/establishments. However, this is one of those things that if you are a solo traveler, especially a female, then it’s probably not going to be so great. I was the only woman in my group, and while the gents were nice and respectful (for the most part… one guy did try to kiss me) towards me, they were incredibly disrespectful about the women working in the industry.”

“Valeria was a fantastic tour guide. It was easy to find her and the group at the bottom of the large steps. From there, she tailored the tour to our group, starting off with some general history which included pictures and discussion. From there, we ventured to some other nearby sights and heard some fascinating history and facts accompanied by beautiful sights. She then took us around the area just outside the red light district where we got a thorough and engaging tour through history and powerful insights into Amsterdam. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and found it was a great way to begin our trip and gain an understanding…”
