Discover Amsterdam's Jewish history dating back to the 16th century

We had an excellent afternoon with Katya earlier this month on the Grand Dutch food tour. We enjoyed sampling many dishes that we would not have tried otherwise (herring, satay, cured meats) if we were to go out on our own. The nice touch and probably my favourite (toss up between that and the apple pie) was the Dutch wine and cheese tasting in the quiet back room of this cute shop. We were very fortunate to only have our family of 3 on the tour so we got extra attention and all of our crazy questions answered along the way as we love hearing unique historical facts. Thanks again for treating us so well.

We do a food tour in every new country we visit, and this was one of the absolute best! Great history tied into delicious food stops at just the right pace. Thijs was a wonderful guide.

We had a fabulous time with Rob on this tour. The pace was perfect, wandering around Amsterdam tasting wonderful food and drinks with interesting history snippets added in. Rob felt like a new friend we just met. Would highly recommend .

What a fantastic afternoon experiencing the local food & drink intertwined with the history of Amsterdam. It was a great personalised tour. It was like catching up with an old friend. Starting with apple pie (to die for), we enjoyed a wide range of food and drink with Rob. This tour is really worth it.

Jan is an incredible guide. His knowledge of the history of Amsterdam and its correlation to the food eaten here made the tour enjoyable for all ages. Not only did we sample amazing food and drink all throughout the city, but we were also treated to Amsterdam from a “local’s” point of view. Request Jan and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

We had the best time ever. Jan was an incredible guide that I would highly recommend. If we come back we will definitely use him again.

What an amazing tour. Our guide Jan was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Amsterdam. Our food stops were all different and represented the variety of foods that can be found in Amsterdam. All were very yummy!! I highly recommend this tour!!

I had the greatest time during my tour this past Sunday. Lots of good local food with a great guide. Each place has been picked carefully and represents different aspects of the city’s food universe, from the classic apple pie to Indonesian-inspired dish. Being in Amsterdam for a full week, I went back to many of the places. I recommend 100%!

We had such a wonderful time with Thijs on the Grand Dutch Food & History Tour! I expected good things, since Rick Steves gave Amsterdam Food Tours high marks in his Amsterdam travel book, but the tour exceeded expectations. It did not feel like a tour but having a lovely walk around the city with a friend, who knew all of the good spots to visit and enjoy fantastic food, beverages and experiences. As a bonus, we learned a great deal about the city and its history along the way. I would recommend the tour to everyone and when we visit Amsterdam again in the future, we will look to Amsterdam Food Tours to make the trip memorable.

We had an excellent Sunday tour with Thijs, and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting. We were only in the city for a couple days, so having this tour was the perfect combination of exploring a neighborhood, learning some history of the city, and trying lots of different types of foods (I will be thinking about the sandwich for a long time to come). Can’t think of a better introduction to Dutch cuisine, and only regret we aren’t here long enough to go back and try full meals at every place we stopped.
