We’ll take you away from the guidebooks to our favourite local haunts. We’ll take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the families keeping Dutch food traditions alive and we’ll explore architecture and little-known historical sites along the way, satisfying the most curious of visitors. Our guides love to tell you their own Amsterdam stories, enhancing your experience while you eat, drink and walk (and boat!) along our canals with friends. Let’s dig into Amsterdam together and explore this historic city in all its glory.
Our 4-hour Amsterdam Food & Canals Tour is a guided walk through the unique cultural and historical sights of Amsterdam; it’s an hour-long, private boat trip through Amsterdam’s world heritage canals; and it’s a substantial meal in the form of a dozen delicious Dutch tastings from plenty of authentic foodie stops along the way – all in one!

What To Expect
The Jordaan
Explore the Jordaan neighborhood, the old workers area, created in the 17th century, for the fast growth of the city. It quickly became home to boat constructors, sailors, bricklayers and many refugees from other European countries coming to Amsterdam. Jordaan was in those times a slum, but nowadays it is a dynamic lively artistic neighborhood.
Taste 4 world-famous gouda cheese from a shop where you can find just about any cheese your heart desires.

Not really a canal cruise

3.00Calling it a canal cruise is misleading. We were on a boat for a short period, but most of the tour was walking
Jacob is an amazing tour...

5.00What a great experience! Paul was fantastic! He made sure we were having a good time, from the beginning to the end of the tour. He was a great conversationalist, and at the same time, a constant source of knowledge. The stops were well planned, and all of the bites were great! We were very full by the end of the tour. We would definitely recommend this company to our friends! 👍
Great way to see Amsterdam, try the local food and take a beautiful canal ride. Loved it!

5.00This was a great day. You really got to see multiple neighborhoods of Amsterdam, learn history in an interesting and succinct way, try awesome food and see the beauty of Amsterdam through the canal boat rides. Our guide, Bart was super kind, knowledgeable and made it a great day. The owner of the boat, Paul, was also great. We had a wonderful day. I highly recommend this tour. It is a great way to see Amsterdam.
