Description

Amsterdam is a city best understood from two angles: street level and water level. This tour gives you both.
You'll start on foot, grazing your way through one of the city's most characterful neighbourhoods - sitting down in a café that dates back to 1642, tasting Dutch cheese at different stages of age and depth, and meeting the fishmonger who still does things the old way.

Along the route, the city's layered history comes alive: the workers who built these narrow streets in the 17th century, the immigrant kitchens that have quietly become some of the best eating in town, and the courtyards that most visitors walk straight past.

Then comes the water. A one-hour cruise aboard a vintage boat trades cobblestones for canals, and the city opens up in a completely different way. The architecture, the bridges, the stories behind the grand facades lining the Herengracht - it's a perspective Amsterdam doesn't give up easily.

Twelve tastings, one cruise, and a small group that keeps it all intimate.

Good to know before you go
  • Wear flat shoes – it is, after all, a walking tour, so be comfortable.
  • Bring a bottle of water – we do have drinks stops throughout the tour, walking can be thirsty work.
  • Come hungry. You'll be tasting lots of food!
  • The tastings mentioned are a selection of the delicious foods we often feature. Both offerings and tour stops may vary by day or season!
  • Have dietary requirements? Email us or add a note at booking, and we'll do our best to accommodate vegetarians, gluten-free guests or other dietary needs where we can. For guest safety, this experience isn't suitable for those with severe or life-threatening food allergies to ingredients found on the tour, and the company cannot take responsibility for any food allergies or intolerances.
  • This activity requires a minimum of 4 guests. Should this not be met, we will contact you directly to help you get rescheduled or reimbursed.
  • Children under 4 years old do not need a ticket and can join the tour for free. However, food is not included.
