5.00The tour guide Gerard was amazing. Very engaging and knowledgeable. Food was great and included the key Dutch treats bitterballen and apple pie! It also introduced us to a wonderful part of Amsterdam we may not have gone to. Gerard gave us the cultural context to what we were experiencing which made it richer and more enjoyable. We love food and come from Melbourne Australia with lots of great restaurants and this was the perfect way to spend a few hours wandering through a beautiful city with a great host.
Amazing tour!!

5.00We planned this walking foodie tour for a couple of reasons: 1) to stay awake instead of just going to the hotel and sleeping too early, and 2) to see the beautiful city and learn something. Paul was fantastic from start to finish. He knows everything and has a great sense of humor, to boot. Even though the majority of the tour was walking (or eating, actually!), the first part was a boat tour of the canals. As a group of family and friends, we had a lot of fun. It was the perfect way to start our travels together. Many thanks to Paul, who helped make it so fun.
Great Amsterdam Food Tour!! 😋
