We had a really great time on our Grand Dutch Food & History tour. Rudolph was an excellent guide – very knowledgeable, entertaining and also very humorous. The food and wine selection was very good and we learned a lot about Amsterdam, its history and its food culture. We would highly recommend the tour.
Enjoyable tour! So much valuable information shared with the group. All the food was delicious. Definitely recommend this food tour!
Just finished a tour with our excellent guide – David. He was informative and knowledgeable about the history as well as the food. His time management was good – we never felt rushed and yet we got to all the places. He was very comfortable to be with and answered all our questions. We got a true sense of the Dutch culture. And all the stops served up yummy food. We will not be needing to eat dinner tonight. Would absolutely recommend.
Jan did a great job providing a thorough and detailed history of Amsterdam as well as showcasing highlights of boutique dutch cheese, wine, and the delicious apple pie! I am thrilled with his genuine enthusiasm and would be glad to have Jan again as my tour guide, share a good meal and conversation. Highly recommended! (tour during mid August 2025)
Marc gave an amazing tour today, the excellent choice of stops gave a wonderful glimpse into Amsterdam life and history. From traditional apple cake, meats, cheeses, wines to Indonesian satay all wrapped in engaging stories and information about this beautiful city. Marc and the wonderful local businesses earned every one of the 5 stars!
Caroline was exceptional! Very knowledgeable and moved us through the experience at a good pace. Enjoyed the tour very much!
Loved the personal interaction with this wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable and shared interesting information and history about Amsterdam. The food, wine, and gin we experienced was outstanding.
The tour was part history and part food. A perfect balance. Rudolph is a great guide, knowledgeable and entertaining. He is even funny some times.
We took the Grand Dutch Food and History tour today with Inbal. She was intelligent and engaging and managed the group and our experience well. The food stops were places that felt very local and provided exquisite tastes, which Inbal helped us understand. I would recommend this highly, and it was good value for money!
David was great. His knowledge of the area was excellent and he had very interesting stories and historic facts to share. we discovered all sorts of interesting local food and learned that the Nederland has wineries. We got to taste an excellent white while sampling some local cheese.
