Overview

We’ll take you away from the guidebooks to our favourite local haunts. We’ll take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the families keeping Dutch food traditions alive and we’ll explore architecture and little-known historical sites along the way, satisfying the most curious of visitors. Our guides love to tell you their own Amsterdam stories, enhancing your experience while you eat, drink and walk (and boat!) along our canals with friends. Let’s dig into Amsterdam together and explore this historic city in all its glory.
Our 4-hour Amsterdam Food & Canals Tour is a guided walk through the unique cultural and historical sights of Amsterdam; it’s an hour-long, private boat trip through Amsterdam’s world heritage canals; and it’s a substantial meal in the form of a dozen delicious Dutch tastings from plenty of authentic foodie stops along the way – all in one!"

Wonderful introduction to Amsterdam and the scenery and culture that makes this beautiful place tick. Even in windy and often times rainy weather, our experience was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Our host, Gerard, was knowledgeable, funny, kind, intuitive, and welcoming. Being a tourist you never know how you will be viewed in another person’s city, and Gerard made us feel very welcomed. This was a perfect start to a new city. The food and locations for stops were a perfect mix of older (classic) Amsterdam eats (all delicious) and newer Amsterdam favorites. This was a perfect start to a new city.

Paul was our guide on our food & canal tour. The highlight was the hour long canal trip on a wonderful old traditional wooden boat - make sure you have your drinking boots on! Paul was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. The food features mostly Dutch colonial styles so if you want typical Dutch food the look elsewhere. The four hours fly past and give you time to enjoy the company of the rest of your tour party. Just about value for money.

This review may sound like redundant superlatives, because Katya was so very good at what she did. She was an excellent leader of our group. Her information and abilities present it was very pleasant and very thorough. She captured all of our attention, kept us busy, informed, and well fed. Her knowledge far exceeds what she was presenting on this tour, any questions that she was asked were answered very well for everyone to understand. That was just the eating part of the trip. The canal portion was on a beautiful wooden boat approximately 100 years old; now with electric power piloted beautifully by its Captain. We had more eating and local culture tour of the canals and their history. All in all, an absolutely delightful experience, well worth our time and money .
