At Private Day Tours Amsterdam we never settle for the ordinary, we offer an experience that is so much more than just a private tour.
Amsterdam as a settlement started to develop about 1150 and when it received the freedom of paying taxes from a powerful count (Floris V) in 1275 the small village started to grow into a small city. People changed from fishermen to businessmen. They started to sail in the early beginning to the north countries, to import beer and grain. The sailors on board these specially made ships (a Kogge) did not visit aunties and grandma’s after coming back from these risky journeys, they went directly to the ladies of pleasure to lose some weight, stress, and pressure!
So prostitution is not something from yesterday, it has always been in Amsterdam. During the centuries, prostitution was controlled by the government, municipally, and by sheriffs. The legalization of prostitution in the Netherlands took place on October 1st in the year 2000. The only legal forms of prostitution accepted by law are Escort Services, Brothels, and window prostitution.
At this moment it is estimated that in the Netherlands, 25000 to 30000 full-time prostitutes operate, of which about half of them are from abroad. An estimated 1100 are to be found behind the windows in one of the three districts of Amsterdam - De Wallen that we are going to visit contains the largest amount of ladies at this moment.
