Enjoy homemade Dutch apple pie in one of Amsterdam’s most well-known Dutch ‘brown’ pubs, sample exclusive Dutch cheeses in the private tasting room of a cheese store that ripens its own cheese and supplies many Michelin restaurants, and savor a mini version of the ‘Rijsttafel’ from the former Dutch colony of Indonesia.

    We sampled apple pie, sausages, high quality cheese paired with wine, a rice table, & regional “meatballs” and gin. The food was high quality. The guide (his first time) was knowledgeable & shared a lot of information about the culture as well as the food. There was only one other couple on our tour & it was nicely paced.
