What the group tour covers

One group listing and two private ones. The figures below are the live listing figures.

Group or private

Group or private: what the extra money buys

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.
