Itinerary
The heart of Amsterdam, Dam Square has been a site of political and cultural significance for centuries.
Amsterdam's famous canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque parts of the city. It's a testament to the city's innovative urban planning and engineering, as well as its rich cultural heritage.
This historic courtyard dates back to the 14th century and is one of the oldest and best-preserved parts of Amsterdam. It was originally home to a community of Beguines, religious women who lived in a semi-monastic community.
Amsterdam's oldest surviving building, the Old Church dates back to the 13th century and was originally a Catholic church. It's since been used by Protestant congregations and is now a cultural center.
Originally built as a town hall in the 17th century, the Royal Palace is now one of three palaces used by the Dutch royal family. It's an impressive example of Dutch classicism and is open to the public for tours.
Once the site of Amsterdam's 17th-century city walls, the Nieuwmarkt is now a bustling square that's home to a daily market, cafes, and restaurants. It's surrounded by historic buildings and is a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.

This was a really great introduction to Amsterdam. We covered a lot of the main highlights but also some smaller streets and spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. The mix of history and local stories kept it interesting the whole time. Definitely a good tour to do when in Amsterdam
It was a very great and informative tour we had with Andrea. She was so wonderful and showed us all around the city, giving the interesting history and stories behind the different districts of Amsterdam. She was happy to answer any questions we had, and even helped get us to our hotel after the tour
The pace of the tour is moderate but you must be able to stand on your feet and walk for two hours and be alert to bicycle traffic.
James was a very nice person and a great guide. Very knowledgeable. Set a nice relaxed pace for tour and shared lots of info with us. Information we received on meeting location was minimal and did not mention a hotel we were suppose to meet at. We thought the tour may be a bust but James texted, called and walked around a bit and found us. Appreciate his extra efforts or we would have missed a great tour!
Andrea was a great guide. We saw things about Amsterdam we never would have noticed and learnt a lot about the history of the city. Andrea was very knowledgeable and walked at a comfortable pace. Very good value for money.
Aarre was terrific!! Learned so much!! He did a great job answering questions and responding to the interests of the group - all with infectious humor and enthusiasm.
I'd give this guide a 6 if it were available. His knowledge of the history and significance of buildings/areas was fascinating. Our small group of Traveling Texans was mesmerized by his dialogue and guidance. I would highly recommend this tour and Aarre, especially.
Our team of 11 recently enjoyed this walking tour in Amsterdam, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! It was the perfect group activity, offering a mix of fun, interactive moments, and great insights about the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, keeping everyone entertained and involved throughout the tour. We explored charming streets, learned about Amsterdam's rich history, and discovered hidden gems we wouldn't have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour!
Very interactive, interesting and intriguing!!! Aaron had a wonderful personality that we enjoyed. His knowledge was extensive and enlightening.
If we could give David 100 stars we would! He truly went above and beyond. Answered every question we asked, took interest in what we had to say, was just fun to be with! 10/10 would love any tour with him!
Our guide Aaron was wonderful. He knew all the info about Amsterdam despite being born and bred in Ireland. He had a passion for history and his sharing of knowledge gave us a great tour.
Because of very bad weather, we missed the tour at the meeting point. We lost two tours so far, no money refund at all. We had very very bad experiences😥!
This tour gives you a very complete impression of Amsterdam and the most interesting sites there. Especially if you have limited time to spend in Amsterdam. Our guide, Guido, was friendly, enthousiastic and could answer all questions. He even gave us some tips for a nice restaurant. Great guy nd great tour! Trigger Tours is the best!

A unique experience of Amsterdam. I learned a lot about the city, its culture, politics, history and saw some amazing sights.
This was the first time I ever went on any sort of walking tour and it certainly didn't disappoint. The tour was recommended to me by a friend and although I was a little hesitant I must say that this was one of the most fun experiences i've had in a long time. All thanks to our guide Gio who I want to thank for delivering such a great tour.
