This is part of my work performance that bases my career. ∎ Amsterdam has always been fascinating, beautiful, unique and incomparable and where in this beautiful job of “guiding”, I have the key to open the doors of the city. My HISTORICAL CENTER tour, which includes the Jewish Quarter, can be considered a "very entertaining, high-quality excursion", by the way with architecture, history, art, Dutch society, curiosities and surprises "and for my RED DISTRICT tour, aspects are added very tasty tastes of worldly life from the Middle Ages to today.
Tour description
EROTIC AND HISTORICAL RED LIGHT LIGHT TOUR
∎ ∎ ∎ TOUR ONLY FOR 15 PEOPLE ∎ ∎ ∎
It was born at the request of you, my tourists!!!, many delighted with my classic tour "Spectacular Historic Center" want to continue discovering the city with me, their "guide-architect" . Today I fulfill my promise and my T OUR "NEIGHBORHOOD" is now available RED, EROTIC AND HISTORICAL” , a personalized tour , of high quality as always and that complements my traditional tour.
The walk through the RED DISTRICT is a “Box of surprises”, without restrictions in terms of topics, WITH CLEAR AND RESPECTFUL LANGUAGE and without abandoning the CULTURAL profile of the tour, where I embrace the history of the neighborhood, the worldly life of the port of Amsterdam , where the prostitution is housed from the Middle Ages to the present day. Clergymen, rich bourgeois, sailors, German soldiers in World War II, the painter Rembrandt, Mozart, drug addicts and happy girls offering pleasure have walked through the Red Light District.
More than 20 interviews that I did with prostitutes allow me to tell you from first source what happens from the moment the prostitute opens the door of her “brothel-showcase” to the client, how attention is agreed upon with her and the surprises that the clients sometimes get. customers !!! We will see how the way of offering sex has changed over the centuries in this same place. Added to this are coffeeshops, gay life, art, live sex shows, churches for the repentant, drugs, the forbidden, the permitted, cultural festivals and current sex orgies, their characters and inhabitants, etc. It all takes place on a walk through iconic and historical places of the Red Light District in a unique architectural setting in the world, my old city of Amsterdam.
