    I have travelled the world and trust me Aarre is the best tour guide ever!!! Extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. It seemed like he made sure we visited every area of the district and even showed us some good places to eat. We had lots of fun and he made us feel safe as it seemed many of the locals knew him. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to enjoy themselves in the present, while being emersed in the history of the area.

    The tour with Ari was great! Fun, informative and an enjoyable walk. It was a private tour and Ari felt like someone we had known for awhile which made it all the better. Museum is a four story walk up!

    Our private tour was excellent and so much better than we thought it would be. Not only did Aaron talk about the red lights district in an open and frank way, he also talked us through the history, the buildings, the people, the coffee shops, the geography and the reason why people flock to this city every year. It really was insightful and interesting. I was travelling with my partner and we both felt safe with Aaron and the tour didn’t feel rushed. The only let down was the sex museum at the end.

    Great tour. Very informative and respectful of the workers in the area. The guide was great. The included sex museum was a bit of a disappointment except for the John Lennon sketches.
