Enjoy the luxury and benefits of a private tour

See and taste the best of Amsterdam in a private group

Enjoy a high-quality private food walking tour that brings Dutch cuisine, history, and culture together as you stroll through the Jordaan and along Amsterdam’s famous canals. Along the way, you’ll taste both classic and modern Dutch dishes at local specialty shops, cafés, and restaurants loved by Amsterdammers.

Explore the city at your own pace with a dedicated guide, offering an even more comfortable and unhurried experience than the shared group tour, filled with engaging conversations about anything you’d like to know.

Thanks to being a genuine Amsterdam company and our many years of close relationships with our food partners and friends—often giving us exclusive access—you’ll feel welcome everywhere and enjoy a genuine behind-the-scenes experience.

With our unique mix of professional and semi-professional guides, all connected to the city for at least 15 years, you’ll hear real, personal stories and gain true insight into everyday life in Amsterdam.

What you’ll eat and drink

There are four, slightly,  different tasting menus available during the week. This is because we only work with small, authentic businesses, and some of them are not open every day. We also like to take the opportunities each day offers—such as visiting the market on Saturday—and each season brings new flavors to the table. What never changes is the quality: every tour features unique places serving the very best of Dutch food and drinks. Please find our tastings per day below but keep in mind this may still vary. 

Non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages of your choice are included, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine, craft beer, and jenever.
