Boutique Dutch Food, Canal & Cultural Tours

We had a great tour with Jan. Hw was really knowledgeable and helpful with accomodating for gluten free & vegetarian!

What a great way to spend the day in Amsterdam! My husband & I booked a private food tour and had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Rudolph, was great! We really enjoyed learning about the history and lifestyle. The best part was tasting all of the local food & drinks!! We are looking forward to try a food and canal tour on our next visit! Thank you, Rudolph for an awesome day!

We love food tours as it gives you the lay of the land and clues you to various places in the city where you might want to return. There were four of us and we opted for the private tour with David. He was fantastic. Young, energetic, and knowledgeable- his love for his city and his country was readily apparent. We enjoyed all our food stops- plenty of food if you eat it all. The one thing we did not have was the stroopwafel. I think we substituted the herring stop for that one. Herring, a definite Amsterdam favorite based on the long line of locals, was not our favorite, but it certainly was a memory for sure!

We loved our food tour, it was a small group and the perfect amount of walking (and eating!). The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the variety of cuisine we tried truly helped introduce us to Amsterdam. Also appreciated the flexibility with dietary restrictions - I got to eat almost everything, even with a gluten allergy.

We booked a food tour of Amsterdam during our Honeymoon and had the BEST experience. It was a wonderful way to meet other travelers and tour the city, seeing what and where the locals eat. Our guide, Catharina Havenkamp truly made the experience amazing! She answered all of our questions and we felt like we truly knew what it was like being Dutch for those few hours. I absolutely recommend!

There were only two of us on the tour so it was a nice private tour. Our guide Jan was fantastic, so friendly and nice. It was like being shown around by a friendly uncle. The food experiences were varied and offered a fun example of Dutch cuisine. The apple pie was exceptional and so was the cheese and wine. Thank you for this lovely experience!!

David Kempers was an excellent local guide. Highly suggest him for Amsterdam food tours.

Fantastic tour of local spots. Rudolph was clever and informative! Just the right amount of conversation and exploration of this lovely city. We highly recommend 🎉

We had a 5+ hour food tour with Jan. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of Amsterdam and its neighborhoods. We had a small group of 5 and enjoyed our time with the other participants. Jan explained all the food we were tasting but also went out of his way to show us hidden spots in the neighborhood. I would strongly recommend this tour and hope you get to experience Jan’s knowledge and friendliness.

David was a terrific tour guide, full of interesting information about Amsterdam, and took us in delicious stops in the Jordaan, highly recommend!

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon -- learning about Amsterdam while sampling its classic tastes. Jan was a friendly, patient and knowledgeable guide. We appreciated him very much..

Amazing food and history tour with Rudolf! Plenty to eat and drink. Rudolf is friendly, personable and wryly humorous. A great companion on this adventure into Dutch food!

We had the most amazing experience, and I truly believe that this was all in part do to our amazing guide Catharina. She was friendly and informative from the moment we met her, and she was so knowledgeable throughout the entire 4 hours of our tour. It was amazing to experience this tour from the perspective of a local and someone who truly knows the city of Amsterdam. Each stop with its carefully curated selection of foods/drinks/treats to enjoy was above expectations. The portions were generous, and we really got to enjoy and savor the delicacies of the Dutch culture. Additionally, having a small group on this tour made it feel very quaint and provided an opportunity for us to all engage in conversations as if we had known each other for ages. I do think this is all in part to the atmosphere that Catharina created from our very first stop. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Amsterdam, and would even consider booking it again myself to learn more and try more to become truly immersed in the culture.

Our tour Guide Jan was fantastic. Not only did he shared his knowledge on the food of Holland. But he also shared his knowledge of the history and culture of Holland.Enjoyed this tour so much Hans & Anna-Marié

So much fun! Amsterdam Food Tours was recommended to us and easy to schedule and coordinate. Our guide, Dirk, was fantastic. He was very knowledgable and informative. It was our first time in Amsterdam and we enjoyed learning about not just the food but the culture and given some insider tips. The tour began with a delicious apple pie and then we enjoyed tapas, local cheeses, strup waffles, local chocolate, bitterballens and more. I highly recommend this tour. It was a considerable amount of food but not too much. We have been on other food tours in other places and this is definitely one of the best!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed tasting our way through the Jordaan area of Amsterdam with our guide, G, and 5 other adventurous eaters. There was a good mix of history and architecture while we visited a variety of Saturday Market vendors and small restaurants and shops. We sampled several dishes that were unfamiliar and delicious. G. is a charismatic leader whose humor and enthusiasm made the 4 hours fly.

Excellent Dutch culture and food tour !! Rudolph was great and was very knowledgeable about the past and current Amsterdam !

We would definitely recommend this food tour. Dirk, our guide, was fun and informative. We ate a great variety of foods and did not leave hungry!

Wonderful experience in Dutch history!

Catharine was a wonderful guide who provided so much history as we toured the neighborhoods on our food journey.

We absolutely loved our food tour with our guide Catharina, she was knowledgeable and funny! Can’t say enough she was awesome!

David did an excellent job giving us the history of Amsterdam and in leading us on a great food tour. We sampled many foods that are common in this area. David took us to small cafes and pubs representative of the life in the city. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!!!

Rudolph was terrific! Knowledgeable/funny and the stops were all well tailored to experience a great taste of Amsterdam. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Great tour to visit the places the locals do. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was a great way to sample the local delicacies and learn about the history of Amsterdam and culture of the Dutch people.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. David is an amazing guide. My husband and I loved it. We learned so much about Amsterdam history and food. I highly recommend the Grand Dutch Food & History Tour.

Had an interesting - and delicious - food tour with Caroline. A fun way to learn about Amsterdam’s history, distinctive architecture and amazing food. Well worth four hours of our time.

We had the best time with Caroline on our food tour! Very yummy food and very informative of the food and history of the city! Highly suggest!

Catharina expertly led our small group of 7 on an incredibly fun and delicious food and cultural/historical tour of the Jordan area of Amsterdam. She is funny, attentive, and pulls the group together. We went to at least 6 places that I remember and the food, snacks, drinks were a local taste.

A great way to discover the city, especially if you love food! Thanks David for being a great tour guide.

A wonderful experience. Thank you to our guide David for all the history, warm hospitality and food experience in beautiful Amsterdam!

David was our guide and he was very informative and educated about the food and history. David’s hospitality made our Experience wonderful. The sampling of food and drinks was amazing and unexpected. We would definitely recommend doing this tour

David did a fantastic job! We had a great time on this tour.

We completely enjoyed the day! The tour was thoughtfully curated - offering tasty food, lovely settings, and an interesting city tour. Marc was exceptionally informative and very good company — overall an outstanding guide.

We had a wonderful food tour in Amsterdam lead by Rudolph Kemper. He introduced us to delicious Dutch food like cheese, meats, chocolate desserts and syrup waffles. We also tasted delicious Indonesian food. Rudolph gave us many good recommendations for restaurants and places to go. It was really fun and we learned so much about your beautiful city. Be sure to ask for Rudolph when you book. You won’t be disappointed.

Fabulous tour! Rudolph was so knowledgeable and very friendly. The food was all delicious. The boat tour was spectacular. Our family enjoyed it so much - thank you!

rudolph, our host, was good we had great conversation almost all of the food options were tasty the exception being that despite the fact that i had emailed w AFT & put the info on our reservation, rudolph wasn’t aware of my fish allergy…only my mushroom allergy - both allergies were listed in the same places & AFT acknowledged both allergies, stating they would accommodate….this was not the case - i was excluded from 1 entire stop

We had a brilliant tour with Catherina, a very warm personable guide whose love of the city shines through. The food and drinks were great (although I am lukewarm on the whole raw herring thing. All in all, a lovely time.

We had a fantastic tour with our guide, Rudolph. The food selections were authentic and delicious, and we learned so much about the City along the way too. Very much recommended.

I did the Grand Dutch Food Tour with Jan, who is very knowledgeable. By the end of the tour, you will have tasted a good variety of Dutch cuisine, see some nice architecture, and learn more history. You may not like everything that you try, but you will definitely not leave hungry.

Amazing tour. Loved Jan and his stories. The food was amazing and very plentiful.

What a wonderful tour! I booked directly and it was an easy and seamless process. The tour hits really great spots we would not have found on our own. The food is all delicious and, wow, plentiful! Our guide, Rudolph, was very knowledgeable, encouraged a lot of questions, answered a lot of food and non-food questions!, and was overall very charming, and funny! If I could give this tour a higher rating than 4 stars I would.

Rudolph was a joy as our tour guide. His knowledge of Amsterdam history and food is stellar. Rudolph is an asset to the Amsterdam Food Tours.

Great tour with excellent food choices! David gave us a lot of additional valuable information about the Netherlands!

As a first time visitor to Amsterdam, the 'Grand Dutch Food and History Tour' was the perfect introduction to this vibrant city and the food culture that interestingly, includes an 'Indonesian Rice Table'! Rudolph and Max, our guides, engaged every person in our group of eight, were knowledgeable and highly entertaining. They shared personal stories and made us all feel at ease. Food was definitely the highlight of the trip, with six stops where we enjoyed local cuisine including locally made sausages, meatballs, cheeses, bitterballen, Indonesian rice table, stroopwafel and apple pie! Coffee, wine, beer and soft drinks were also served. I can honestly say that I was (happily) stuffed by the end of the tour and couldn't eat another bite! I loved that this tour was not rushed and that it took us to destinations we might have otherwise missed if exploring the city on our own. I thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Amsterdam city. Thanks again; Rudolph and Max!

Our guide, Marc, was awesome!! Highly recommend!

Jan gave an informative and entertaining tour of Amsterdam that blended food, facts and fun for the whole group. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Tip: Slurp the gin carefully!
