Experience the best of Amsterdam through its food, canals, and culture on this immersive Amsterdam Food Tour. Taste Dutch classics and reinventions, Surinamese street food, and artisanal cheeses — all while exploring the city’s most charming neighborhoods and iconic waterways.
This is a Sherpa Food Tour, part of our global collection of High-Fidelity Local Experiences for curious travelers and passionate food lovers.
You’ll start with bold Surinamese flavors, enjoy creamy veal croquettes, and stop at a trendy brown café where classics meet new wave. Walk the iconic canals, explore the Jordaan, and hear how migration and trade shaped one of the world’s most multicultural food scenes.
You’ll sample a Dutch cheese tasting, enjoy modern comfort food, and end with dessert and jenever — a spirited goodbye shared with fellow food lovers.
This isn’t just a food tour — it’s a cultural deep dive into the heart of the Netherlands. Join us and leave full, inspired, and just a little bit tipsy.

What To Expect
Waterlooplein Market
We meet outside a cozy café in Waterlooplein, once a canal and the heart of the Jewish quarter. Now a bustling market, it reflects Amsterdam’s layered, imperfect charm.
We start underground — literally — with bold, bright Surinamese bites that hit hard with flavor and history. Born from migration, loved by locals, and hiding in plain sight.

5.00Ginevra was a lovely host of our food tour. She led us on a fun array of food experiences from Suriname-Dutch street food to a 1945 Eaton Salon restaurant for Dutch croquettes and also to a fabulous Brown Restaurant for pickled herring. The diamond of the tour was a traditional Dutch restaurant Proeflokaal A. v. Weed for delicious grandma stew. A time well spent in restaurants we might never have tried.
Afternoon fun!

5.00Flora and Shannon were great! Lovely gals and took us through the tour flawlessly. It would be better to have whispers so that all can hear as at times it was difficult to hear their commentary. All in all they were great!
Great experience! Lots of fun!

5.00I had a lovely tour with Ginevra, learning more about Amsterdam’s history while trying authentic local foods. It was also nice to get to know the other people on the tour and have a few sit down drinks/food as other tours can involve walking and standing for hours.
Amsterdam food tour, good

5.00Geneva was very sweet and well-informed on Amsterdam. The walk was pretty fair and some of the roads were narrow, but that’s Amsterdam. Her food selection included a lot of hole in the walls that encompassed a fair amount of history and cultures that are unique to Amsterdam.
