Interesting! - Sam, our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and history of the area and was always making sure that we are safe. We had a chance to explore the area on our own because everything was explained during the tour. Highly recommended for those who feels worried about safety in the area.

A tour to remember - The tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable. She was witty and presented both the positive and negative sides of the Red Light District, kept the group engaged by asking us to guess statistics, and left time for questions at every stop. I learned so much and had fun the whole time!

It was just okay. Not... - It was just okay. Not appropriate for teens as the “window displays” are working girls ready for hire.

Too late too inflexible. - Once again. 5 minutes late and your guide left without us. Tried to catch up but the communication was not timely and did not know how to find guide.
