What are people saying about Amsterdam

Michael_M, Aug 2026

Anna N is very...

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.

Zaanse Schans and Volendam Private Tour – Clogs, Cheese and More

Michael_M, Aug 2026

Outstanding tour! elias...

OUTSTANDING tour! Elias is the BEST tour guide! He is very personable and knowledgeable. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Elias. The itinerary is well thought out. Elias expertly guided us through Zaanse Schans away from the crowds so that we could truly enjoy its pastoral beauty, its windmills, and its clog workshop. It was then off to the Henri Willig farm where there was a short cheese-making demonstration followed by a delightful cheese tasting. The tour concluded with a stop at the picturesque fishing town of Volendam where we had the option to have lunch. We had some of the best fish that we have ever had, and this is saying a lot considering we also dined at Michelin-starred restaurants during our stay in Amsterdam. We had the opportunity to enjoy iconic Dutch sweet treats (poffertjes and stroopwafels) as well. Elias’ recommendations were spot on! There is a reason why there are so many excellent reviews about Elias and this tour. He is genuine, amiable, and of course knowledgeable. His English is excellent, and he is well-spoken. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour! You won’t be disappointed!

Our morning tour with...

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!!

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Private Guided Tour

A fabulous experience! Thank you, Max!

Although I have been to the Rijksmuseum before, this was my first trip with my teenage grandson. It was important that he be introduced to the Dutch masters in a way that would be of interesting. Our guide, Max, was fabulous. He was friendly and knowledgeable and understood what we wanted to see and learn. He spoke with clarity and passion which Brought the period and style to life. We had a truly wonderful experience and continued walking the museum after our 2 hrs with Max ended. Great, great visit to the Rijksmuseum.

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!

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.

Highly recommend - best way to see Amsterdam

There is nothing better than taking a canal tour with a true local with a deep understanding of the history and culture of Amsterdam. The boat was extremely comfortable and electric so no motor noise!! Highly recommend - and would repeat since each time you'd see new parts of this amazing city.

Michelle_H, Jul 2026

Great tour with a local guide

Love that the tour started from my hotel. Anna was an outstanding guide. She asked questions to determine what my interests were and to identify any landmarks that I had already visited. The tour felt very personalized and catered to my interests. She answered questions about culture and quality of life in Amsterdam. She took me to see places that locals visit and appreciate. She filled two hours visiting interesting landmarks not even mentioned during my other tours of the city. Impressed by the interesting anecdotes and extensive knowledge of the city.

Janese_B, Jun 2026

Highly recommend

Paola was a wonderful guide, hitting the highlights and some hidden gems on a pretty busy day. She was deeply knowledgeable and her obvious love of art and history were apparent. She gets top marks though because my 85-year-old mother is hard of hearing and wears hearing devices that prevent her from using the headsets the rest of us used. Paola conscientiously kept her close and made extra effort to speak so she could hear. My mom often gets frustrated and gives up in crowded, noisy situations but she had a delightful time and was so happy thanks to Paola

Private Romantic Canal Cruise Amsterdam with Bubbly and Snacks

My husband and I took a 45 minute private canal cruise with our skipper Rocco. We were welcomed onboard with an array of beverages, snacks and a blanket to cuddle up in. Our skipper was very knowledgeable and shared stories of the canals history as we passed landmarks. He also took lovely pictures for us. My only regret was not doing the full 90 minute cruise so I recommend planning the extra time to do so.

Unique Canal Experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the best time with Skipper Paap! He showed us way more than we expected and took the time to capture several photos of us. I’ve taken a few canal tours and this one was far more exciting and enjoyable than the others. Highly recommend this private 90-min tour!
