2.Amsterdam Red Light District Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,497 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $24

Meet at Rembrandtplein for a five-hour adult nightlife crawl through Amsterdam’s Red Light District. You’ll visit four bars and a nightclub, with one free shot at each stop and unlimited shots for the first 30 minutes. Hosts such as Matilda, Lilli, Andre, and Elio may lead games and help solo visitors meet the group.

“We had fun and it was a good way to meet people, but the tour itself was just okay and not really worth the money. The free shots tasted like room temperature cough syrup, and the 4 bars we went to were practically empty besides our tour group. One of our guides left before the second or third bar, and the remaining tour guide walked us to the club and then left without even going in with us. There were also only 4 women on the tour and 15+ men - it was okay since I was with a partner but would have been extremely awkward for a solo female…”
