This cool alternative tour of Amsterdam’s underside comes to you from Getyourguide.com and Trigger Tours, two well-known A-dam activity inspirations. The tour is exactly what it sounds like. You will learn more about the drink, drugs, and prostitution side of Amsterdam in a tour that is not afraid to tell it like it is.
The tour lasts around 2 hours, during which you will learn about the city’s liberal side. This walking tour takes you through Amsterdam’s Chinatown district, stopping at Café the Schreiertower for some nice cake and tea.
Next, you will head down some famous streets onto coffee shop #2, The Jolly Joker. All coffee shops are optional, of course. Although this is a two hour event we estimate that you are already hitting hour number three by now, especially if you hit the coffee shops the right way.
You will pass the narrowest house in Europe, which is quite a site to see. It’s so tiny. Later, you will see the Oude Kerk, Casa Rosso, and Condomerie, before returning to your starting point. The main focus here is seeing the Red Light District with a guide who can explain the people for sale in the windows.
Amsterdam is a strange place.
