           TOUR "EROTIC AND HISTORIC RED LIGHT DISTRICT"
           
                                       ⭕⭕⭕
 

 I chose this fascinating place, full of myths, enigmatic and beautiful, and I present it as it deserves, with dignity, with class, and not in a crude manner as is customary, in a   personalized, high-quality tour  as are ALL my excursions. 

   The tour through the  RED LIGHT DISTRICT  is a “Box of surprises“ that we will open in a unique architectural setting in the world. I explain it without restrictions on topics, WITH CLEAR AND RESPECTFUL LANGUAGE  and without abandoning the CULTURAL profile of the tour, where I embrace the beautiful history of the district and  the worldly life of the port  of Amsterdam,  where prostitution has been housed from the Middle Ages to our days. 

In the 20th century, the arrival of heroin, a hard drug, left a deep mark on Dutch society. 

 Through the Red Light District  have walked nuns, priests, rich and poor, children, sailors, German soldiers in World War II, the painter Rembrandt, Mozart, drug addicts, scientists, criminals, millions of  tourists, and among them all, the girls  offering pleasure: therefore, we will also have history, art, science, and the rich cultural life  that  emerged centuries ago in the Red Light District, supported by photos and illustrations that will make our excursion even more entertaining and also with good doses of humor. 

More than 20 interviews I conducted  with prostitutes allow me to tell you firsthand what happens  from the moment the  sex worker  opens the door of her “brothel-window“ to the client, how her service is  negotiated  and the  surprises that clients sometimes encounter!!!   We will see  how the  way of offering sex has changed over the centuries in this same place. Added to this are the  coffeeshops, gay life, art, live sex shows, churches for  the repentant, drugs, the forbidden, the permitted, cultural  festivals  and the decriminalization of marijuana,  its characters and inhabitants, etc.  Everything takes place in a tour of iconic and historic  places of the Red Light District in a unique setting in the world in my old city of Amsterdam.
