Super prepared guide and tour of 10 - I did the tour of the Red Light District in Amsterdam with Carolina and it was a super enriching experience. You could tell that she was super well prepared and perfectly mastered the subject. It wasn’t your typical shallow tour: it gave us a lot of concrete details, historical data and curiosities that really made a difference. In addition, it explains everything in a very clear and enjoyable way, making the tour interesting at all times.

Our guide Bea was an absolute delight - We arrived for this tour in the agreed location just opposite Central Staation, on time and waited with the others. After a short while we noticed that we were the only UK people there and the 3 other groups, were Spanish and Italian. My wife and I had some reservations... we were approached by our tour guide Bea who informed us that she would be our guide and that we would be the only couple having the tour in English. It felt slightly strange to begin with however, this did not last! Bea was so friendly and kind, with a lovely personality. She talked us through so much and her knowledge and understanding on Amsterdam was impeccable. We walked for 2 hours and despite the horrible weather, time flew by. Bea explained about the whole history of the city and the red light district. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. If there is one trip to do when you are in Amsterdam, this should be it. Would recommend it 100% and felt it was definitely worth the money.
