At the start of August, Amsterdam hosts a very large Pride celebration, with the famous boat parade on the canals as its centrepiece and events across the city for more than a week. Visitors arrive from everywhere, many of them through Schiphol, and the city's hotels fill up months in advance. Pride Amsterdam, flying in through Schiphol, is a joyful trip and a busy one, and a session in the room fits it most comfortably when it is planned around the week rather than squeezed into it.
Pride Amsterdam, flying in through Schiphol, as a peak date
Pride is one of the peak dates the house names, together with King's Day, ADE, the Christmas and New Year run and the big conference weeks. During those dates every booking is confirmed with half of its price ahead, wherever the room is and whether or not you have booked with us before. The rates themselves do not change. For one guest with one therapist, one hour is EUR 180, with EUR 90 sent ahead; two hours is EUR 360, with EUR 180 ahead. The deposit goes by card, Revolut, Wise or crypto, and the balance is handed over on arrival.
Where visitors stay
With central hotels full or very expensive, many Pride visitors stay near the airport, at Sloterdijk or in Nieuw-West, and travel in for the events. The trains between Schiphol and the city are frequent, but on parade day they are packed in both directions. If you are staying outside the centre, plan the session for a time when you are certainly back in your room, not for a time when you hope to be. The Sloterdijk page describes one of the most practical bases on the airport line.
The parade day
Parade day is long, hot and loud. Crowds line the canals from early afternoon, and the celebrations continue into the night. A session in the middle of the day is unrealistic. The two times that work are the evening before, when you have arrived and rested, and the day after, when the body wants nothing more than to lie still. A booking for the evening of the parade itself is possible, but set the start later than you think, because getting back from the canals takes time, and if she reaches the room at the agreed start and nobody is there, the whole deposit is kept as fee already earned.
Booking ahead
Evenings during Pride week fill early. A request sent a week or more before arrival gives a good choice of therapist and start. Any booking made more than twenty-four hours in advance is confirmed with a deposit in any case. Give the dates, the hotel or area, the start, the length and, if you have one in mind, a therapist from the profiles. If plans change, a booking can move once to another date within fourteen days, provided you ask more than twenty-four hours before the start.
Travelling as a couple
Many Pride visitors travel as couples. Two partners with a single therapist between them pay EUR 360 an hour. With two therapists, each partner with a therapist at the same time, the couple rate is EUR 720 an hour, and half of that goes ahead as the deposit. Say in the first message that you are two, and describe the room, so the office can confirm the booking suits it. For a whole night, a couple with one therapist pays EUR 2,500.
Heat, water and the body
Early August can be warm, and a week of standing, dancing and walking in the sun takes a toll. Drink more water than feels necessary, especially before a session. Cool the room a little rather than warming it, and take a cool shower before the therapist arrives. Slow oil work on the legs and back is what most guests ask for after a long day on the canals. The erotic oil page describes that format.
Discretion in a busy week
Hotel lobbies during Pride are full of visitors coming and going at all hours, which makes one more visitor unremarkable. The therapist messages from the lobby, and you meet her at the lifts or she comes up where the building allows. The booking exists only in your own WhatsApp or Telegram thread, which you can delete afterwards.
A plan for the week
Book a week or more ahead, and send the deposit when the office confirms. Choose the evening before the parade or the day after it. Allow extra time for crowded trains if you stay near the airport. Drink water, cool the room, and keep the phone on loud. Every guest must be twenty-one or over, and every session takes place in a room you have booked. The rest of the week belongs to the city.
