Had an amazing tour with Carolina! I am pescatarian and the tour was very accommodating. I would highly recommend, actually ending up revisiting a few of the places later on during my stay. There is also a lot of food, tasting is an understatement!! You will not leave hungry. Very good walk, very good food, very good information and all around experience.

A lot of walking. Great pacing. Takes the full 3.5 hours or more if you have a talkative group. Local restaurants, not tourist traps. Saw interesting cultural landmarks that were not included in other tours. David was very knowledgeable and eagerly answered all questions. Built in a bathroom break. Had bottles of water for everyone. Very thoughtful and well planned itinerary.

    History, food, culture in one package!

    Audrey_E, Sep 2026
    This tour, hosted by Carolina, was a food & history & cultural walking tour all rolled into one! Carolina was so informative and engaged the whole time, we learned so much and, despite Carolina’s warning not to eat lunch, we were still too full for dinner! And yes…we tried the herring! And it was delicious, not fishy at all!! A great way to see a bit of Amsterdam and learn a little, especially if you don’t have a lot of time in the city.

    Tons of food and a great tour of Amsterdam.

    Abby_L, Sep 2026
    I cannot say enough good things about this tour with Barni. I’ve been on many walking food tours in many cities and they rarely disappoint… this didn’t either. SO MUCH FOOD and he brought us to places we actually sought out to go back before the end of our trip. Go hungry! We got great views of the city, lots of different neighborhoods. Just a fantastic time. My only issues: the group was too big. We had 15? I think 10 is better but our group was great and kept up. Also, he seemed a little annoyed with us by the end but perhaps having a long day. Really big recommendation on this one if you want to try a little of everything and don’t know where to start.

    Culinary adventure

    Kristine_K, Sep 2026
    A great experience to sample some of the specialities of Amsterdam. Plenty of food so come hungry. . The guide Barni was friendly and very knowledgeable. A great way to spend the afternoon

    Food tour with Barni

    barbara_p, Sep 2026
    Barni was great. Very knowledgeable about history and the food. My only complaint is we were constantly standing to eat the foods.

    A must!

    Roberta_M, Sep 2026
    This is an excellent and comprehensive tour of 10 stops of different local and delicious food options and multiple mini stops of various notable areas rloaded wirh history and cultural significance. Leo was an extremely knowledgeable and kind tour guide, full of fun and historical facts, tips about what to do in the city, and just a solid vibe. He took us to so many places that our group would probably never would have thought of visiting. I felt like a local. One of my friends had never liked seafood, and became a seafood lover after the herring and cod stop which was such a quaint little stand in the middle of the city. Delicious fries, butterballs, even a TikTok trendy crookie. But the best part was walking all over the city and seeing such unique sites. This is a “can’t miss” kind of excursion…and I really hope you get Leo as a guide. So knowledgeable and such a sweet spirit! I highly recommend.

    Great experience

    Laurie_D, Sep 2026
    We had a great experience. Our guide, Leo was born and raised in Amsterdam, and was very knowledgeable. Besides the food choices being great, he took us to some out-of-the-way places that we would not have known about on our own. The sample portions were generous. We had a small group of seven people which made the experience that much more personal. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Educational, delicious and fun

    TM_L, Sep 2026
    Our guide Barni was knowlegable, witty, fun and personable. He lead our group around the city giving us not only history of the city but special insider tipz and quips all while leading I s to taste 10 different gypes of local foods. We had a great time and the tour was well worth the price.

    Wonderful guide and great food!

    Diane_L, Sep 2026
    Leo, who was our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Shared a lot if history and behind the scenes info. The food was a mixed variety and a good sampling of Dutch food. Delicious!

    Fun Food Tour with Danielle!

    Daniela_S, Sep 2026
    Great tour. Danielle was informative and the tour was an excellent value. We went to many food tasting but also got a tour of the city during the food tour.

    Excellent Amsterdam Food Tour

    Vicki_Y, Sep 2026
    Roman did a fabulous job of sharing Dutch culture and history with us while we enjoyed one Dutch food after another on our private tour. He accommodated our slower walking pace very nicely. Thank you so very much, Roman!

    Not the best tour, you're better off finding these places on Google

    Ahang_A, Sep 2026
    Myself and 3 other friends went into this tour, it was OK, but nothing really special; so I am not sure how this was chosen as the best one. The guide was very nice, engaging, and made the tour bearable. But the type of food, its quality, and portions were NOT good, thus making this tour overpriced for what it offers.

    Great tour

    Karen_W, Sep 2026
    We had such a good time! Barni was a wonderful guide. The tour went beyond just food; it included a bit of history and architecture. We sampled 10 items, all delicious (even the herring). We didn’t need to eat anything else the entire day.

    We had Leo as our guide....

    judy_v, Sep 2026
    We had Leo as our guide. He was knowledgeable and fun. Would highly recommend this food tasting tour

    Amsterdam at its best with Roman.

    Thea_S, Sep 2026
    Lots of walking. Great cultural knowledge. Food was fantastic too! Roman showed us unique things about the city and shared things we never would have known. So fun!

    Our guide Barney was...

    Lambros_G, Sep 2026
    Our guide Barney was absolutely great. Fun, very knowledgeable but more, with the perfect mix of humor and information.

    A Tasty Tour

    Dale_M, Sep 2026
    David was a great tour guide - he was informative and made the tour fun. The food samples were a tasty way to get a taste of authentic Netherlands dishes!

    Wonderful tour

    Jane_O, Sep 2026
    Our tour guide, Barni, was wonderful. He took his time learning everyone's name. And his knowledge of Amsterdam was excellent. And the food...it was amazing!!!

    A “Must Do” Activity in Amsterdam

    Amy_W, Sep 2026
    Danielle was an incredibly knowledgeable, fun, interesting, passionate guide for the food tour. She showed us so many hidden gems and explained so much about Amsterdam, the people, history and food. We must have had 10-12 different food stops which was both tasty and interesting. It was a fabulous way to see the city, explore little side streets and try the food. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I never write reviews but felt compelled to share about my experience!

    Eat your way around Amsterdam

    Debra_K, Sep 2026
    Don’t eat before you go. Lots of great food. Wear comfortable shoes. Bathroom stop near beginning and at end only.

    This was our first day in...

    D_H, Sep 2026
    This was our first day in Amsterdam. Roman was an excellent tour guide. He wasn’t kidding when he said not to eat before the tour. The cultural side of the tour was great too. We had booked another walking tour and decided to cancel it because most of it was a duplication of this tour.

    Germany/Amsterdam adventure

    Kelly_P, Sep 2026
    When they say don't eat anything, they are serious! There is plenty of delicious food and you will be full! David was incredible. Remembered all of our names and shared great details, background and history of the food origin, and local connection. Loved this and would highly reccomend it Ask for David. He was awesome!

    Worth it!

    Maria_B, Sep 2026
    Our guide Leo was great! So knowledgable and friendly, plus he gave us many little surprises and treats along the way.

    Fantastic Tour & Great Guide

    Diane_S, Sep 2026
    We loved this food tour! It was well paced with a great mix of history and food, generous tastings and interesting selections we wouldn't have found on our own. Our guide, Leo, is a local with a masters in history. He was interesting and knowledgeable. We highly recommend!

    Food, Facts and Fun with Leo

    Loretta_R, Sep 2026
    Brilliant tour. Good pace, informative and interesting with local facts and insights. Covered a good area so you were exposed to a lot of the main attraction with some hidden Gems. Food was delicious! We did the 2.30pm - 5.30pm tour and have no need for dinner. I highly recommend this tour. LEO was the best tour guide.

    Perfection

    enith_b, Sep 2026
    Nothing short of outstanding. We learned we ate and we had fun. Don’t miss this Amsterdam tour We would do it again

    Wonderful food tour to get acquainted with Amsterdam food and neighborhoods

    Al_C, Sep 2026
    Fantastic, fun and informative was to get introduced to Amsterdam. Roman was very informative, helpful and safe (used his bike and body ever time we crossed a road). The food was really good was well. We’ve been on many food tours to get acclimated to a new city and this was by far the best. Cannot recommend high enough

    Fun and delicious

    Catherine_H, Sep 2026
    Great for a solo traveler! I enjoyed all the food and learned about history and culture too. Would recommend to a friend

    Ok- too big for a small group

    Brittany_C, Sep 2026
    Danielle did her best to work with our very large “small group” tour. 15 people, two of which had a lot of requests and questions, throwing Dani off her rhythm. And we only stopped for 8 tastings rather than the 10 advertised.

    I Highly Recommend This Excursion!

    Steven_S, Sep 2026
    Yet another fantastic excursion we've joined via Viator! Roman provided us with one of the most informative and delicious culture experiences - an excellent introduction to Amsterdam.

    Great food/walking tour!

    Jill_T, Sep 2026
    Great way to learn about Amsterdam culture and food. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable.
