Really one of the best food tours we've had. Our guide, Todd, was the perfect guide to Amsterdam, the culture, history, and of course the food. He connected the dots for us as we tasted and as we walked. We had 6 stops and ten tastings that were an ample lunch! Kudos for choosing excellent stops. We had cheese, stroopwaffels, herring, smoked eel, fries, pancakes and stroopwaffel liqueur. A surprise stop was a taste of Suriname! I highly recommend this tour!
A fantastic Amsterdam food tour. A+.

The tour was great and the food was quite nice. Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable. If I had one small recommendation is to find a way to be able to either bring a bag or something because the meet up shop has such lovely food and gifts, but it would be kind of annoying to carry it around for 2+ hours.
