Amsterdam Red Light District pub crawl review: five venues, free shots, club entry, lively hosts, practical tips, value, and honest drawbacks.
“Matilda was my guide and was wonderful! She did her best to make sure that myself and the other participants were having a good time. She even offered to be available for questions or recommendations on other activities/establishments. However, this is one of those things that if you are a solo traveler, especially a female, then it’s probably not going to be so great. I was the only woman in my group, and while the gents were nice and respectful (for the most part… one guy did try to kiss me) towards me, they were incredibly disrespectful about the women working in the industry.”
