Guided tour on the Wallen (Red Light District)

This most famous part of Amsterdam is as lively and secretive as one can be expected from a major harbour-city. With the men at sea, prostitution developed itself, due to the surplus of women, very early in the city at the river the IJ and has grown what is now known as a world famous red light district. This tour on the old Wallen holds many stories, figures, windows, monuments, charms, brothels, bars and sex that this is by far the most popular tour in Amsterdam. Having this tour at night when it is dark, the red lights will increase the mood. Therefore, the guide will perform a head-count after each stop to make sure no-one has stayed behind inside when the tour continues (grin).
