Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

2.Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,442 reviews · from $91

Roman leads a small group through central Amsterdam, pairing Tom Pouce, fries, herring, cheese, and other Dutch tastes with stories about the monarchy, crooked houses, the Anne Frank House area, and local customs. The walk starts near Vijzelstraat and ends by Noordermarkt.

“This was a fabulous tour all round. Like the title said… take this tour! You will not be disappointed. It’s not just about the food (all of which was absolutely delicious… we tried at least five, maybe six, foods from the TopTen list of Dutch foods) but it’s about learning about a place where someone who loves where they live is willing to share that with you. Roman, our guide, did exactly that. He was friendly and approachable, yet still professional. Also funny and very, very knowledgeable about not just great food and places to get it, but the city and it’s history. We always try to take a food…”

It was a little cumbersome to get there from city center - you have to take a ferry from centraal station over to where the pancake boat is.”

“We are a group of four joining another two couples from the states. The eight of us are visiting Amsterdam. I communicated with Thijs, the founder of the operator, as I intended to give a fair review base on facts. Firstly, it would be unfair to give a one star review given all the good efforts and care our guide Mark, the operating company and the owners of places we visited had put in, therefore two stars. We have enjoyed our time with Mark our guide, the places we visited as well as friendly gestures of other guests. The culprit who left us a really bad taste with this tour…”
