We have done food walking tours in several major cities on several continents. This food tour around Amsterdam was awesome mainly due to our guide Jan. Food and drink was great and a nice representation of the local cuisine. We highly recommended this tour!

What a delight in so many ways!! The food and wine from artisanal producers was delicious; the walk though the beautiful streets was a feast for the eyes; and the interesting historical perspective from our charming and funny host, Rudolf, made for an unforgettable afternoon.

Well worth the cost! Jan was an excellent guide and the food and wine we tried was delicious. The highlight of our tour was visiting a new tour stop at Design & Wine where we tasted wines from the Netherlands. Thanks to all of the purveyors who made this a great experience!

A great tour, led by Jan, who has lots of experience. Excellent food served as part of the tour, and we explored a part of Amsterdam that is not as touristy.

Excellent, a perfect food tour. Plenty of great interesting food, not rushed over 6 stops in a fascinating 17th century area. Great guide.

This tour ended up being just the two of us and our guide Jackie. This was unexpected and in another situation could have been awkward. But Jackie is kind and delightful, easy to talk to for as long as she showed us around. We ate some delicious foods and the folks at every stop seemed glad to be helpful. Highlight for me was the JWO Lekkernijen deli, where we tried some really tasty meats.

Gisteren genoten wij van de Boutique Foodtour en wat een geweldige ervaring was dat! Vanaf het eerste moment wist onze gids Jacqueline ons mee te nemen in een sfeervolle reis langs verborgen pareltjes en culinaire hoogstandjes. Jacqueline is niet alleen ontzettend gastvrij en enthousiast, maar ze heeft ook een schat aan kennis over zowel de stad als de verhalen achter de eetgelegenheden die we bezochten. Haar passie voor lokale smaken en persoonlijke benadering maakten deze tour uniek en warm. We proefden fantastische gerechtjes op plekken waar we anders waarschijnlijk aan voorbij waren gelopen. Elke stop was met zorg uitgekozen en Jacqueline wist telkens iets extra’s toe te voegen met haar verhalen en gevoel voor detail. Een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die Amsterdam op een verrassende en smaakvolle manier wil ontdekken. Dank je wel, Jacqueline, je enthousiasme werkte aanstekelijk en je hebt onze dag onvergetelijk gemaakt!

Rudolph gave us a glimpse into the food scene of Amsterdam! Through the various stops, we tried local favorites and found all to be very tasty! He was quite knowledgeable about Amsterdam in general and about the various foods in particular! I learned a little bit extra about Gin and where it originated from! We are afforded food and various cocktails and other alcoholic beverages! Well worth the money and time. Highly recommended!

Jacqueline was our guide and gave us an incredible experience on the Grand Dutch Food Tour! She was very personable, giving lots of history and her own local experience as well as asking us questions and getting to know us. You will eat very well on this tour - we enjoyed apple pie, a lovely sample of cheeses, fries, deli meats, and more ! It is a very good amount of food over the length of the tour and we were full by the end. Highly recommend this company and experience! You won’t regret spending your time with the guides and the shop owners you meet along the way.

My husband and I really enjoyed the private history and food tour with our guide, Rudolph. Being a local, he shared his in depth knowledge of the area, taking us away from the main tourist hubs, giving us an insight into how the locals live. With a background in teaching history, Rudolph shared the history of Amsterdam with us from its very beginnings to the modern city we see around us. We visited several fantastic artisan food producers during the tour. The highlight for me was the fish stop. And yes, the cod bites were so delicious I shed a tear. We loved talking to Rudolph, getting to know Dutch humour and outlook on life. If you want to know more about a city and its culture, a food tour is a brilliant way to begin.

David was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a very nice tour. It’s a good way to get a feel for the area when you first get into any city. We had 6 wonderful selections to try. We loved them all!

David showed us delicious examples of the culinary variety his home city and neighborhood. The tour was unhurried and plenty of time was given at each stop to enjoy each sample and get to know the history and significance of each dish and the shop or restaurant that served it. Was very much looking forward to Rijsttafel (a generous selection of Indonesian dishes) that was described as included in the tour, but only Satay Ayam (grilled chicken skewers) was served...at a bar that had no obvious cultural connection to Indonesia.

Today my wife and I did a walking food tour with Jan the tour guide. The tour was excellent and provided 6 stops to try different foods/drinks. Jan provided a history of Amsterdam as we walked from place to place. I normally hate group tours and long tours but really enjoyed this tour. I highly recommend this tour and Jan. PS. The best Apple pie I have ever had.

Wat een ontzettende leuk food tour is dit. De deelnemende restaurants/winkels hebben hele goede en vooral erg lekkere hapjes en drankjes. De Jordaan waar de tour zich voornamelijk in bevindt is een erg leuk deel van Amsterdam met nog veel authentieke winkeltjes en restaurants. Onze gids Mark kon geanimeerd vertellen over de geschiedenis van de stad. We hebben een hele leuke middag gehad.

This was one of the best things we did in Amsterdam. Our tour was small (just 5 of us) so it felt very personal. Our tour guide David was outstanding. He grew up in the city and shared a lot of local insight and information that we wouldn’t have learned about elsewhere. The food was excellent. Starting the day and tour with Dutch apple pie was a highlight and we enjoyed visiting all the small restaurants and shops. Highly recommended!

We were delighted that Amsterdam Food Tours was able to book us last minute, with a fantastic host to boot, Rudolph. We enjoyed the superb conversation with him about food, history, architecture, and the arts. He was both a great listener and conversationalist. We wanted to do this tour early in our stay to get some questions answered about the area and see some of the more authentic spots. So glad we did, thank you!!

We went on the Sunday ( Dec 8) food tour with Jan. We had the best time. Food was excellent, my favorite was the apple pie. Jan was the best guide, very knowledgeable, funny, pleasant and accommodating. He was #1 in Amsterdam. We learned alot of history too, and the walk took us to some parts of the city we had not visited. Very happy with Jan and tour and would recommend it to everyone. Photos of my friend Karen Eskew.

David was a wonderfully, informative guide. He was also very attentive and empathetic to any requirements. The trip itself was excellent, covering all the different aspects of the Dutch historical culture and it's influence on the food of today. Delightful hidden gems of goodie places revealed to us. Would thoroughly recommend this trip to all our friends. Thanks especially to the Manager for putting this together for us at the last minute. Just awesome thanks !!
