Taste your way around Amsterdam—and benefit from the insider knowledge of a local guide—on this small-group food tour. Meet your group outside a central coffee shop, then get ready embark on a culinary journey as you sample over 10 delicious dishes and drinks, including artisanal cheeses, Surinamese street food, and more.

Highlights
- ✓Uncover the food scene of Amsterdam with the insider knowledge of a local guide
- ✓Small-group tour ensures a personalized experience
- ✓Learn about history, culture, and food as you sightsee
- ✓Get your camera ready as you stroll along iconic canals and explore the Jordaan
What you'll see & do
- ✓We meet outside a cozy café in Waterlooplein, once a canal and the heart of the Jewish quarter. Now a bustling market, it reflects Amsterdam’s layered, imperfect charm.
- ✓We start underground — literally — with bold, bright Surinamese bites that hit hard with flavor and history. Born from migration, loved by locals, and hiding in plain sight.
- ✓Bite into a hot, creamy veal croquette sandwich in a no-frills local favorite. Born after WWII, this iconic snack is pure Dutch comfort food, served with old-school character.
- ✓Just off the canal, a cozy spot channels the real spirit of Amsterdam—a new take on the classic brown café where tradition and trend meet. We stop here for classic Dutch snacks: pickled herring, grilled sausage, and a crisp local beer
- ✓Stroll Amsterdam’s iconic canal belt and uncover how 17th-century ingenuity shaped a floating city. From timber foundations to merchant houses, every view holds a story.
- ✓Sample a four-cheese tasting board in one of Amsterdam’s top cheese shops. Every bite is rich with tradition, terroir, and the deep pride of Dutch artisanal dairy craft.
- ✓Step into the Jordaan, once home to workers and dreamers. Its cobbled streets now house artists, cafés, and locals — the perfect bridge between past and present Amsterdam.
- ✓Savor modern Dutch cuisine with a soulful stamppot, made from seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Comforting, creative, and a glimpse into where Dutch food is headed. Next, we end the tour with a cozy Dutch dessert and a sip of jenever. It’s a sweet, spiced, and spirited goodbye in a warm setting that captures everything you’ve tasted and explored today.
