    This was a great tour, definitely worth the money. Manouk added insight and history as we walked through the Red Light District. She had a depth of knowledge and kept it interesting and entertaining. We definitely know the difference between a coffee house and a coffee cafe. The area itself is vibrant, lively and full of rich history. The area is not "seedy" as some expect.

    The guide was very knowledgeable. She lived in the area so she was able to offer a lot of historical insight as well as current events. It was a great tour. I could have spent another hour asking questions. I highly recommend.
