Amsterdam Red Light District pub crawl with an English host, 30 minutes of unlimited shots, free shots at each venue, and nightclub entry.

“OK, so I was sceptical about this given that I am pushing 40, however as I was with a younger friend I let my "younger inner self" get the better of me and booked; I was right to think that it would be more the younger end, however, it surprised me that being the elder in the group meant I had the upper hand with managing the drinks; whilst I would not exactly say the free shots were an appeal, nor did they really taste of alcohol I would say that the experience as a whole was sociable and excellent value for money...

2.Amsterdam Red Light District Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,497 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $24

5-hour Amsterdam Red Light District pub crawl from Rembrandtplein with free shots, games, and club entry at five venues.

“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.”
