5.00Great food tour and learning some history and culture. Paul was an awesome guide teaching us about the food we were eating, the canals, the buildings, the bikes, some history of the area, and more!
A fun evening with good food and good company

4.00We had a great time with Sabrina (and the other folks on the tour). She was very engaging and clearly had a good relationship with the establishments we visited, which says a lot. We particularly enjoyed our introduction to the Surinamese food because we would never have found that place on our own. We also appreciated her tips for other places to eat in Amsterdam, and beyond.
Fantastic Guide!

5.00It was a fabulous experience, Our guide, Sabrina, was wonderful! She gave us great history of the culture and city during our tour. The food and drinks were wonderful and included traditional dishes including cheese, stamp pot, and bitterballen. We had several people in our group who needed gluten free items and Sabrina made sure there were options available and even shopped for them herself! This was a great way to see the Jordaan section of Amsterdam. I highly recommend Sabrina and this tour!
Tolga, our guide, was wonderful

4.00Tolga, our guide, was wonderful. I did not particularly enjoy the food, but that is not the fault of Tolga or the restaurants. The tour group was not particularly inclusive. There was a group of seven from Sweden, who kind of stuck together. My enjoyment of food tours generally includes everybody talking to each other. This didn't happen much here. Also, I don't drink alcohol, but that is my own problem.
Paul was an excellent...

5.00Paul was an excellent guide. It was a very small party of six people so it was easy to interact. People need to be aware there is some walking involved. Great opportunity to taste ethnic flavors.
Food + Friends + Sabrina = Amazing Food Tour

5.00Sabrina was a fantastic tour guide! I love a food tour but they are only as good as the guide is engaging and fun. We had a small group of friends (2 couples) and we were the only ones on the morning tour. What an amazing time we had! Sabrina was so much fun with energy and genuine love for the information she shared. The food stops were a great sampling of the culture of Amsterdam. I highly recommended this tour company and make sure you get Sabrina!
