  Nicely paced historical tour. Gavin kept it interesting and informative. Adjusted for our interests. Good to hear from an American perspective.

  Excellent tour and information who knew there were so many hidden memories in the city of Amsterdam. Highly recommend!

  Our tour of Amsterdam”s Jewish quarter gave us a thorough and unbiased picture of the horror that occurred in Amsterdam. The monuments dedicated to the holocaust victims were explained by... read more James along with the history of the making of the monuments. The 2 hour tour was worthwhile; it is one of the highlights of our trip. We especially liked the stories about the lucky Jews who successfully hid in the Amsterdam zoo.

  (Pictures are proof that this is not a fake review).

Thus, the quad trip was supposed to be from 15:00 till 17:00. First of all we had to arrange... read more all the helmets info etc, for 20 people (2 seperare groups). So we only departed from 15:30 if i'm being generous. Second of all, we had to drive verry slow, practically everyone was complaining that we went too slow. Even the slightest bit that you go faster they will rudely complain. Near the end my friend even got doubled by a bicycle a la maroc. Round 15:50 we stopped and just stood somewhere, doing nothing for like 20 minutes (meanwhile the guides were laying on their much better quads in the shadow). At last we finally drove again round 16:10 and arrived at 16:35. The taxi came again driving us to the hotel, and after that they will pick us up again to drive to the camels (At 18:00).

For the record I also love sightseeing and visiting city's etc, but the view was really nothing worth going for.

This was the second time I went quad riding IN GROUP so I know how it is supposed to be. (First time was even in Europe and was much cheaper if you compare drivetime to the price).

  The tour leader nor anyone was there when we arrived after we had walked 2 miles to get there. We arrived at the given location in front of the Jewish... read more historic museum. No one ever showed up. We are requesting our money back ASAP. The irresponsibility of no one being there messed up our whole day’s schedule. It must have been a scam!

  Very interesting and informative. Not a long walk; just right. James was outstanding!! Highly recommend this tour!!!

  The tour went for 2hrs but the red light district made up only 20-30 mins of this time. You basically walk up one side of the street and down the... read more other side. Our tour guide didn’t speak to us while we were on the actual famous street. The first part of the tour took a long time and I wasn’t expecting to get 1.5hrs of random facts about Amsterdam in this tour - I already knew a lot of this stuff from other tours I had been on. Aside from this, our tour guide lacked charisma and spoke quite softly, so it was difficult to hear him. The guide also was vague with directions and didn’t lead from the front of the group, which was confusing for people at the front of the group. It may be that we didn’t have a good guide but aside from this, I could have walked up and down the street without the guide. We went on the 6pm group tour and there were hardly any women in the windows because that was ‘dinner time’ for them. I wouldn’t recommend this tour, unfortunately.

  The tour guide spoke more of his Irish background than anything about the Netherlands. The tour was a waste of a lot of money.

  The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent personalized private tour. We highly recommend him and this tour.

  My experience was excellent!!! Ian is very professional and hi knows his work very good. No complain. Everything was perfect!

  We had just one day in Amsterdam. We landed at 11 and met for the bike tour at 3 p.m. It was a good way for us to adjust and... read more push through the day while seeing some sights. Our tour guide, Craig, was flexible and adjusted when we got tired toward the end of 90 minutes. He did a good job of mixing up the riding and talking, and included perhaps not always the usual tour details. It is a bit unnerving that you rarely see bike helmets here after we in the U.S. have been trained all our lives to use them. Bonus trip - the tour meets near Tony Chocolonely and you should stop there to shop for a trip to the store or upstairs to the restaurant for a treat.

  Maarten is great guide. He was very easy to talk with and knowledgeable about the area and the history. We enjoy walking around and taking in the scenery. This was... read more our second tour of the RLD and was a first for a friend, so there were some areas off the path Maarten was taking us on and was willing to show us those spots which I think led to us walking in some circles (our fault). Maarten was great at directing us should we need to find any hidden gems and would recommend him to lead futures tours with the company.

  Our tour guide Aaron was great , filled us in on the history of the area and had a lot of fun filled facts . I highly recommend this tour

  Our tour guide James was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour.

Thank you Trigger Tours for this great experience.

  The guide was extremely informative. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Learning of the significance of the brass plaques was very moving.
