Loved the food trip! Jan (pronounced Yan) presents delicious bites that are uniquely Amsterdam. And as you go from place to place, traverses every block of Amsterdam with details that you might find after reading a dozen history books. Or you can hear it from him with all the layers of nuance and context of first hand knowledge.

We had such a great time on the food tour with Rudolph! He was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam. It was great learning it from a local. The food and drinks were very generous at each stop, we particularly enjoyed the stop at the fish van at the markets, it was unique! I am pescatarian so I was well looked after when the charcuterie board came out at the wine store, which I greatly appreciated. Thanks Rudolph, we loved it! Very memorable!

Had a great food and history tour with Rudolph. He gave us a wonderful orientation to the history and culture of Amsterdam and the Netherlands, which was a great way to start our trip. The tour gave us the knowledge and confidence to order traditional Dutch food on the rest of our trip. I would not have tried the Herring without this tour, but I loved it and enjoyed it many more times during our vacation. Every food and beverage stop was a highlight, and ranged from Dutch cheese to Dutch wine to apple pie, to herring (surprise favorite!), to bitterballen. Rudolph was interesting and charming and made great conversation. Highly recommend this tour for those that love learning about local food and culture.

We had a wonderful tour with Rudolph. Got to try fantastic apple pie, cured herring and fried cod, cheeses, sausages, wine and beer. Rudolph is knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Rudolph was a fantastic host and guide; witty, humorous with just a bit of local “color” that made his commentary clever and sharp, with excellent and accurate depiction Amsterdam history. We experienced wonderful and authentic Amsterdam street food, wine tasting, cheese, fish and meat! A delightful experience we highly recommend!

We had a great food and walking experience with Amsterdam Food Tours. Annabelle was great. The food was fantastic. We all felt that we got a great variety of real Amsterdam food. We highly recommend. Thank you.

What an incredibly good introduction to Amsterdams history and food. Caroline spent her time immersing us in the Amsterdam we knew nothing about, and at various locations introduced us to the foods and wines of the country. Very accommodating and articulate, Caroline was a delight to spend our first day in Amsterdam with. Cannot recommend more highly for those visiting Amsterdam and wanting to know and taste this amazing place.

David was a wonderful guide. The pace was perfect and good/drinks were delicious Lekker! Thanks for an amazing day!

The Dutch food&history tour with Rudolph was nothing less than amazing. The rich variety of food places, the high quality, the generosity, the picant stories, the knowledge he shared, the humor, the easygoing character,- all in all gave us a deep unique look into the Dutch culinary and historical world and made us wish to come back to another round. What a lovely afternoon we had.
