Amsterdam Small-Group Walking Tour with Typical Dutch Pancake
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Start your journey with the best introduction to Amsterdam on a 2.5-hour walking tour through the historic city center. Led by an expert English or Spanish-speaking guide (Dutch upon request), explore the city’s iconic landmarks while hearing fascinating stories about its growth from a muddy village on the Amstel River to one of Europe’s most important trading cities. Discover Amsterdam’s contrasts, from the history of prostitution and drug decriminalization to its cultural, artistic, and architectural heritage.
At the end of the tour, enjoy a typical Dutch pancake menu in a cozy city-center restaurant, including a starter of pea soup or Dutch delicacies, a pancake main dish, and dessert or coffee. We always aim to schedule the tasting at 1:30 pm, but in some cases, it may take place later. Afterward, continue exploring Amsterdam at your own pace, visiting museums, cafés, or charming streets.

4.00I’ve been on a lot of walking tours in many cities around the globe. Most include a lot of history and details on what we’re seeing. We walked by a lot of things without explanation. This tour could have been so much better if the guide had done that vs talking about the cost of rent, his house buying experience, etc. I like to learn a lot on tours like this and I think a self guided tour I download would have been better.
Excellent!

4.00The guide, Anthony, was great and gave us many interesting facts and showed us several interesting places. Dutch Pancake Masters was excellent. My only negative comment is that we were there on a very crowded Saturday (the day before Easter Sunday), and it was challenging to keep up with Anthony because of the crowds (and I’m a good walker). He did not check to make sure everyone was keeping up.
Had a great time!

2.00Did not receive items as promised on ticket. Waiter was less than friendly when I presented my ticket. He made uncomfortable. Would not go back to that establishment
Get to know the charming city and atmosphere of Amsterdam.

5.00Rob was an amazing guide with his depth of knowledge and his cadence integrating all of the information into a wonderful experience. It was a true introduction to Amsterdam and its history. I had been to Amsterdam before, but now I feel I have a better understanding of it as well as the Dutch people. We also had the pancake lunch. The food was excellent and the service outstanding. I had the best tomato soup I had ever tasted served with pesto. I highly recommend this tour.
Basically a good experience with a very warm and helpful guide
