Our food tour with Joanna was excellent! She was full of interesting information and the food was outstanding! This was a highlight of our visit to Amsterdam!
Our multigen group of 9 had a fantastic afternoon with Thijs! We walked the streets and visiting some cool eating spots. We feel we got a great sense of the local favorites and general vibe. Thanks for the great tour- would do it again 100%!
Die Foodtour hat uns großen Spaß gemacht und das Essen war sehr lecker. Man kommt an Ecken in der Stadt, die wir ohne die Tour sicher nicht entdeckt hätten. Auch einige der Foodspots hätten wir wahrscheinlich nicht probiert. Wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder machen, vielen Dank an unseren Guide Rudolf!
My husband and I joined Amsterdam Food Tours and although there were only 4 out of 8 people attended, the tour went ahead. Thijs was our guide and we found him to be very warm and informative. Thijs answered all our questions about Amsterdam even how to use the metro! The food and drink tastings were very delicious and extremely generous portions. We have no hesitation in recommending Amsterdam Food Tours!
Top notch!! I would highly recommend! Katya was our guide and I was very impressed with her knowledge of Amsterdam. She took us to a lot of unique food stops, so many in fact that I was stuffed! She is very personable and gave us some really useful tips on sights to visit during the remainder of our stay. Thank you again Katya, it was an incredible tour!!!
Highly recommend this tour. Thijs is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We did this tour on the first day of our trip, and got recommendations on other restaurants and activities to try while in town. All turned out to be great experiences. The tour itself had a wealth of historical knowledge and great food while avoiding tourist traps. We were able to take a brief detour and try a couple extra stops. Can’t recommend these guys enough!
Joanna was amazing!! She taught us so much about Amsterdam’s food, culture, and history. She was incredibly knowledgeable and delightful to chat with. Money well spent!
My group of 4 had an excellent time with Rudolph. He led a very engaging, fun tour. Beyond trying local food and drink, we also learned a lot about Amsterdam’s architecture, history and culture, which was a great bonus. Rudolph made us laugh the whole time. Highly recommend!!
Absolutely outstanding food tour. Great food, great stories, and a great time overall. Our excellent guide, Rudolph, kept us interested and laughing. Rudolph has a deep knowledge in art and architecture, and is well known by the locals. He is also very knowledgeable of the best places to enjoy the tastiest Dutch cuisine. Loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour private experience. The guide was fantastic as well as knowledgeable. The food was delicious and it was great to see some local spots outside of the usual tourist places
