Very Informative - Our tour with Pillar was a lot of fun and very informative. Definitely left the tour feeling I knew my way around the area more and had more direction as to where I wanted to revisit later in my stay in the city. Highly recommend!

A must do experience! - This tour exceeded all our our expectations. Our guide Guido was very nice and it felt like doing a tour with an old friend. The tour was filled with lots of interesting details and was very informative. This tour is a must do for anyone looking to explore the district. The best tour we have ever booked through Viator. MUST DO!

Adam knows the district inside & out! - Adam, our tour guide, was great. He gave us an offbeat perspective to the colorful history of the area. His edgy humor was the perfect fit for this kind of tour. We did the 6PM tour, which put us in the heart of the red light district during shift change. I’d recommend an earlier or later tour.

Poor - When your guide realises they have left you behind mid tour and drops a pin 10 minutes later is not ideal. Would not recommend this tour

I felt the tour... - I felt the tour explanations about history etc, were not well structured and felt more like a tick to tell something in the tour then making us know more about Amsterdam

Poor customer experience - Tour operator never responded and was not able to make the tour... I assume this tour is super popular but just think a simple response would be helpful and would go a long way in customer service
