    We learned about this tour from my nephew. Agapios was a wonderful tour guide! He was generous with his knowledge and time. We learned so much about the history and culture of the area and enjoyed a few wonderful tastes of coffee, fries and stroopwafels along the way. He also followed up with us later with restaurant recommendations. The Red Light District is a delicate and fascinating subject for some Americans, but he handled it affably with care and gentle humor. I highly recommend this company and Agapios, the worldly and well-traveled tour guide.

    Tony was a great tour guide. He answered all of our questions and paced the walk to meet our needs. The tour was a great introduction to first time visitors to the area.
