The Amsterdam You’d Never Find on Your Own

Philip knows every place and everyone, and generously shares them all. We experienced the history of the country and city through his stories and experiences and special access at each stop. Our windmill tour in particular was exceptional. I highly recommend you take a tour with him!

Great!!!

CECILE was everything!!!!! She was so good that we had random visitors in the museum trying to tag along to listen. Cecile made this art tour so fun and was extremely knowledgeable. We don’t typically like “art history” but the way she took us through the timeline of Van Gogh’s life was so memorable. HIghly recommend this tour with Cecile!

Our group had an...

Our group had an incredible canal tour with our skipper, Deep. He was an awesome guide-friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Amsterdam. He taught us so much about the city, from its history and culture to its laws and everyday life, and was happy to answer every question we threw at him. The whole experience felt relaxed, personal, and genuinely fun. Deep gave us a much better understanding of Amsterdam and helped shape the rest of our time in the city. It was easily a 10/10 experience for everyone in our group. We would absolutely book another tour when we return, especially if we could have Deep as our skipper again! And the best part was actually the music, made the vibe incredible.

Viator is the best!

We purchased our Van Gogh Museum tickets through Trigger Tours via Viator after tickets were unavailable directly from the museum. I accidentally selected the wrong date and emailed Trigger Tours. Within 24 hours, they corrected our order—even with a 7-hour time difference! Very organized, responsive, and professional. Excellent customer service!

Fabulous tour with Fleur

Fleur was an exceptional guide. We are two weeks into a European vacation and this is our fifth country and she has been the best guide so far. She reached out in advance so we knew exactly where to meet her. We started early with a small group so we got better viewing of the collection. Fleur’s knowledge and interest was evident as she shared history with our group who varied with understanding of Netherlands history or art. The museum itself was outstanding and our guide focused appropriately to use our time wisely but we got so much out of the experience because of Fleur.

Great Tour—Exactly What We Hoped For!

We reserved this tour last minute and had a wonderful experience. Alfonso and Christiano were super friendly, showed us all the major sites, and were exceptionally flexible. We arrived a little late and they waited patiently, allows us a quick stop for food, and took us the Anne Frank house even though it wasn’t part of the tour. Lots of stops for pictures and great explanations. It was a great way to get an overall experience of Amsterdam! Highly recommend.

Great Tour and Guide

Andrea took my wife and I on a wonderful tour. We were the only ones on the tour and Andrea treated us wonderful. She let us do whatever we wanted. This was not just a typical Red-light District tour. We learned so much local history and tried several types of food. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
