Top Amsterdam Private Sightseeing Tours

Anna N is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter of Vincent Van Gogh, the artist and the man. She provided context for us to better understand his works of art and debunked many of the commonly held myths regarding his life, which was truly astonishing. Anna also ensured that every member of her tour group was taken care of as she procured enough folding chairs for those who needed to sit during the tour as the tour is quite long. Anna’s English is excellent as well. She spoke very clearly and passionately. To those who are on the “older” side, please take into consideration that the tour is 2.5 hours in duration. There is a reason that under “additional info,” the tour company states “travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level.” Even with the folding chairs, there is still a lot of walking (including up and down stairs as the elevators are often too crowded). It is an excellent tour though.

Our morning tour with Winston could not have worked out better. At pick-up, we discussed the itinerary I’d researched (Zaanse Schans, then Broek in Waterland, followed by a drive-through of downtown Amsterdam) ending with drop-off at Schiphol for our return flight. He recommended we instead start in downtown, expecting to encounter many fewer bicycles and cars on a Sunday morning. It quickly became apparent that our visit there would have been significantly less enjoyable had we been fighting traffic along the way. Winston also suggested we make a short detour to Volendam which hadn’t surfaced in my research. We were so impressed with the area that we decided to include a stayover there during next year’s Amsterdam visit. Great job, Winston!!

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!
