Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience

Amsterdam: Traditional Dutch Food Tasting Experience

In the Jordaan, the city's food traditions survive because someone's grandmother, uncle, or neighbor decided they were worth keeping alive. On this small-group walking tour, you'll meet six of them: from a family baking apple pie from a recipe untouched since the 1900s, a fishmonger who still cleans herring by hand in full view of the street, to a cheesemonger aging Gouda the traditional way. You'll dip into a historic cheese shop, chase down poffertjes fresh off the griddle, and taste a home recipe from a kitchen that gives women space to cook food from their own cultures. Along the way, wander canal-side streets built for 17th-century workers and alleys that once held the city's poorest families. Your guide keeps the group small, never more than 12. Vegetarian, gluten-free and other dietary needs are easily accommodated with advance notice.

Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour

Barni was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable of the city and provided a lot of interesting facts as we walked along. The shops we stopped at were all very hospitable and each food selection was delicious. We had a nice group of people on the tour and Barni made sure he got to know each person and ensured each of us was comfortable. I highly recommend this excursion. If you are lucky enough to have Barni as your guide you will have a great time!!

Bluebird Day did not disappoint!

You can’t pick the weather, but we had blue skies, 7C/44F, and an awesome guide named Richard. Amsterdam is a gorgeous city, but the countryside is a different experience. The history comes to life, the relationship between land and water. Why the people care about their collective wellbeing (they’ve been flooded too many times, and have to work together). You can drive it alone, and miss the stories that bring it to life. Walking the brick streets of hamlets, learning why monks build a monetary on a sand bar, and discovering how amazing mini-pancakes with whip cream and fruit can be. Richard was fantastic. Kind, smart, and willing to banter and joke around. He’s like that favorite cousin or nephew you enjoy hanging out with at the holidays (and shares his love of this country and the complexities faced in a modern inclusive country). Excellent guide and an amazing day.

Want to take the best tour in Amsterdam? Take this one!

We toured today with Todd and it was exactly what we hoped it would be! We stopped at 6 locations, each one featuring a Dutch dish. Todd shared local tips and history and made us feel so welcome in a bustling city. The 3 hours flew by and before we knew it, our bellies were full and we had great memories and pictures. Choose this tour. You will love it!

Steve is Awesome!

We had the BEST time on our food tour with Steve in Amsterdam! His personality, friendliness, and knowledge of the city made the entire experience so much fun. Every food stop was spot on, and it felt like we were discovering hidden gems that most tourists would never find. Not only was the food amazing, but Steve also shared so much interesting history about Amsterdam and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. He truly made the tour feel special and personal. We honestly almost didn’t want it to end! If you’re visiting Amsterdam, I can’t recommend Steve enough. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

The canal tour was...

The canal tour was amazing! To start everything off we missed our original ticket time because the train broke down, but once we made it to the site the team was able to rebook us for a different time. George and Captain Dick were great hosts. They had so much knowledge and fun recommendations for other things to do in the city.

Quick, humorous, lovely.

The tour cannot stand alone as sightseeing in Amsterdam. To that is the turn for cards. The trip goes fast, includes some good bullet points and is served very humorously together with some cheese and a completely free bar. It is quite cozy and an experience in itself. Ideal as a start to your days in Amsterdam. The price is good for the experience.

Best evening canal cruise in Amsterdam

The host Sophie was absolutely fantastic at her job, getting to know each of her guests in turn and managed to get everyone to interact and we very quickly became a bonded group. The wine was limitless and she remembered exactly what each person was drinking each time she came to top up. The cheese was excellent too and lots of it. Sophie was also superb as a guide pointing out all the well known landmarks on the canals with a touch of humour. Would definitely book this again and would highly recommend it .

Great way to explore Amsterdam

What a great way to explore Amsterdam! Kees was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. We learned about the history of Amsterdam while taking in the beautiful architecture. The food and beverages were things we may have never tried on our own! Everything was delicious.
