Every tour is unique, but you might enjoy freshly baked stroopwafels from a 200-year-old bakery, artisanal Gouda paired with local liquor in a historic merchant house cellar, hand-cut Dutch fries with creamy mayo or satay sauce, colonial Indonesian treats or Surinamese street snacks, famous Dutch chocolates, zesty herring with onions (before 16:00), and a toast with traditional jenever or European wines. Our guides curate tastings based on their personal favorites — so no two tours are ever the same.

Kids friendly: You may bring a stroller, but we sometimes will need to park it outside for a brief moment.

We offer vegetarian and pescetarian alternatives, ensuring everyone's dietary needs are met. Gluten-free options are not always possible, but available at most stops for tours starting 16:00 or earlier. To accommodate special requirements, inform us at booking and remind your guide at the start of the tour.

Most guides also have paypal / venmo for a digital tip.

Tour starts inside Gastrovino cheese shop in the wine basement.

Herring available until 16:00 start time due to opening times.

Easy to reach: 8 min walk from Dam Square, 5 min from Rokin Metro. Uber/taxi drop-off close to entrance. No hotel pickup included.

We’re a small local company and take great pride in what we do — but we’re not perfect. If something didn’t meet your expectations, please contact us within 24 hours so we can make it right. Before posting a negative review, give us a chance to help. We truly care.

Private Amsterdam Food Tour Option: Includes hotel/ship pickup, custom food route (Jordaan, Nine Streets, Red Light District), flexible start time, private guide, mobility options, and full dietary customization — ideal for gluten-free, vegetarian & pescatarian travelers.

Walking food tour: This tour covers approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 km) on foot with at least 5 tasting stops along the way. Not all stops have seating available, so guests ideally should be comfortable walking and standing. Also eateries might have steps and small stairs. Mobility challenges? For a shorter route a private tour is recommended (please inform us! ).

Allergies: Most stops offer excellent vegetarian and pescatarian options. Gluten-free is possible at ~70% of stops before 16:00 — for a fully gluten-free Amsterdam food tour, the private option is best so we can design every stop around you. Peanut, shellfish, and nut allergies are usually not a problem, but please tell us so we can confirm with venues (e.g., ask to skip pesto). Share any allergies in the special wishes section when booking, and kindly remind your guide at the start of the tour. While most venues are accommodating, cross-contamination is possible in shared kitchens.

  • Don't go expecting good food

    RonaldE W,,Mar 1, 2026

    - Review from Viator

    I've got to say that if it wasn't for our excellent tour guide this review would have been lower. Joeri made the tour enjoyable and enlightening. The problem was, we were expecting better quality food for $220 a couple. What we got were plenty of sweet dessert foods (think Durch waffles, french fries, bites of cheese, stroop waffles and fried fish) nothing really healthy, nor anything of substance in a nice sit down restaurant. It felt like it was a street food sampling at a very high price and we had to share each plate with a stranger who joined our group. We had taken an "Eat At" tour in Rome so we were expecting something similar. Left feeling a little cheated and deflated but we still gave the tour guide a 20 euro tip because he tried his best with what the company would probably allow.
