10 Tastes of Amsterdam – Food Tour by the UNESCO Canals & Jordaan (3 hrs)
Discover the flavors of Amsterdam through our top-rated food walking tour — loved by over 3,000 guests and featured on TV. With 10+ tastings, 5+ authentic stops, and stories that connect food to the city's history, this experience goes far beyond bitterballen and stroopwafels.
We keep our groups small (max 12) so you can truly connect — with your guide, the city, and each other. No two tours are ever exactly the same. Depending on the guide, the vibe of the group, and what's fresh that day, we mix things up. From Golden Age merchants to post-colonial snacks from Suriname, Amsterdam's food is a reflection of its layered past — and your guide will bring it all to life.
