Overview

Enjoy a high-end food walking tour that brings Dutch cuisine, history, and culture together as you stroll through the Jordaan and along Amsterdam’s famous canals.

Explore the city in a small group of no more than 8 guests, allowing for a comfortable, unhurried experience filled with engaging conversations about anything you’d like to know. Along the way, you’ll taste classic and modern Dutch dishes at local specialty shops, cafés, and restaurants loved by Amsterdammers.

Thanks to being a genuine Amsterdam company and our many years of close relationships with our food partners and friends—often giving us exclusive access—you’ll feel welcome everywhere and enjoy a genuine behind-the-scenes experience.

With our unique mix of professional and semi-professional guides, all connected to the city for at least 15 years, you’ll hear real, personal stories and gain true insight into everyday life in Amsterdam.
