My husband booked a tour just for us last weekend with Jan. It was 4 hours and we had a great time! We had a variety of foods in different places and learned so much about the history & culture of Amsterdam. Jan individualized our tour to accommodate our questions and factored in the extreme heat. His stories and historical content were blended along in a natural discussion as we walked, tasted, and explored Amsterdam through our senses. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!
We had a wonderful walking tour hosted by Joanna. Pacing was great and we enjoyed Dutch apple pie, a sandwich, some cheese and wine, Indonesian satay, and bitteballen with local beer. Joanna was very knowledgeable and the tour was at a very relaxed pace.
This food tour exceeded expectations. The food was incredible and the guide made the experience memorable with great stories and local insights. Would absolutely do it again Thank you David
The food tour was a great experience. Our tour guide David was a local resident. He took us to locally owned businesses that had wonderful food. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Amsterdam. It was a very enjoyable time I would highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful afternoon on Joanna’s food tour. It was informative, fun and delicious. We highly recommend this
Excellent tour and tour guide. Rudolf was knowledgeable, friendly and a great sense of humour! We sampled a wide range of delicious food, in varied neighbourhoods. Rudolf took us all over Amsterdam and provided the historical context in terms of both social and water engineering issues. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour!!
Our experience with the Amsterdam walking food tour was fantastic! We felt like a local while visiting all the markets, wine shops and food establishments that Thijs, our guide, personally enjoys! Our meeting place at the historical and charming Le Papeneiland set the tone for the day. We enjoyed their signature Apple Pie while getting to know Thijs. We highly recommend this tour and look forward to our next tour when in Amsterdam Thanks again! Tammy and Jon San Diego , CA
One of the best guided tours we have experienced. Relaxed and casual but with an outstanding explanation of the history, food and culture of Amsterdam. Fantastic.
We had a great time on our 4 hour tour. Plenty of food and great history lessons. Our tour guide Rudolph was very personable and kept us entertained the whole time. I would recommend to anyone that wants a full tour of food in the city!
