Amsterdam is famous around the world for its liberalism, but its Red Light District is often thought of as a haven for looseness, lewdness and licentiousness. On this self-guided GPS audio tour, you'll look beyond the drunken tourists and you will find a vibrant, living neighbourhood, in which the roots of Dutch tolerance and pragmatism can be found and in whose contrasts the concept of “gedogen”, the uniquely Dutch method of turning a blind eye, is clearly on display.
Join us on an exploration of this fascinating area and learn about its past, present and future as it struggles, like the rest of the city, to deal with the recent influx of tourists. This tour contains sexual themes, but that's what you were secretly hoping for, right?!
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline. Please be advised, this tour contains strong language.

Very informative walking tour. The audio provided very clear walking directions with visual cues. I would recommend.

It was my first self guided tour, and I loved loved loved it! You can do it at your own pace, the information is presented clearly (some of the information might be a little outdated, though), the directions are easy to follow, and downloading is simple (although I would recommend to do it when you’re connected to Wi-Fi, it didn’t work otherwise). I would highly recommend this tour!
