What the group tour covers
One group listing and two private ones. The figures below are the live listing figures.
The listing is short and precise: a guided tour of the Red Light District lasting 1.5 hours, in a small group, with multiple language options, about the history of the district. That is what this page can promise, and it is what 9,415 reviewers rated 4.9.
The listing does not publish a fixed route, a group size or a list of languages, so this page does not either. Treat the route, the exact language and the meeting point as details to confirm on the listing before you pay.
For anyone searching for a walking tour of Red Light District Amsterdam has on offer, this is the listing with the review count behind it. At $25 it is also the lowest price of the three tours on this page by a wide margin.
Group or private
The group Amsterdam Red Light District tour works out at $16.67 an hour. The two private tours run two hours each and come to $111.50 and $122.50 an hour at their listed prices. The summary does not say whether a private price covers one guest or the whole group, so check that on the listing.
Historic Amsterdam with a local guide, $223. A private tour of the city’s history. Its listing names the Canal Belt, the Flower Market and the Red Light District among the main sights, and offers a two-hour orientation or a full day. Rated 4.9 on 53 reviews.
The pedicab tour, $245. Two hours with a local native through the historical old centre, the 17th-century canal district, the Jewish quarter, China town and the museum quarter. The listing does not name the Red Light District itself. Rated 5.0 on 51 reviews.
None of the three is a boat trip, private or shared. The water is covered in the canal cruise guide, and the cruise listings there do not name the district.
