What fun! This small tour with just 11 people started at a “brown cafe” in the Jordaan district. Our guide, Jacapo (from Italy) was very knowledgeable about Amsterdam’s history and the diverse culinary experiences we enjoyed. Six stops ranged from traditional bitterballen to cheese, to a dish multicultural dish invented by a hairdresser, to Indonesian satay. Each stop had a story. Wine, beer, and genever (the original gin) accompanied the food tastes. Easy, flat walking. Highly recommend.

We toured in the working class neighborhood of Joordan with our guide Gerard. The variety and quality of food was exceptional. Nine different items were presented to us from apple pie using the owner's grandmother's recipe, the traditional herring with onions and pickles, from a fish store,several varieties of cheeses from a cheese shop. Pushing on to a traditional split pea soup served with a local beer, another variety of fried fish prepared very differently from the British fish and chips. Coffees teas and local beers were offered several times. Along the way we were offered chicken satay as a nod to the Indochinese that became part of the Amsterdam food scene from the spice trade with Indochina.
Along the way Gerard shared priceless nuggets of information on the neighborhood adding to the overall charm of walking through this bit of history. .some of the venues had a pub feel and a touch of a saloon. We were eating with the locals and the friendly bartenders.
We settled our questions and answers on what to do while on our trip over a glass of genevir after having traveled up these ancient steps to an area overlooking the lower floor.
Good food, good people, good fun was had by all. A must on an visit to Amsterdam !

This food tour was so lovely! Our guide, Tolga, was so knowledgeable and answered any and all questions our group had about the food, city, or otherwise. He gave so much insight into the history of Amsterdam and it was much appreciated. I highly recommend this tour!

Completely enjoyed the walkaround with Tolga. He was a good storyteller mixing history with the current state of the area. He also stopped the group in cafes or locations on the street and gathered us around so we could listen while we had a taste. Fun, humorous, and easygoing. Very enjoyable way to learn about the jordaan.

Helen was great! It was a lovely and delicious afternoon. My kids also had a great time. Next time we will plan a food tour early in our trip because of the very good restaurant and food shop recommendations!

Bernardo was a great Dutch tour guide for our food tour today! It’s so nice to have a tour guide that let us understand more of the local culture as well as the food and its history. We were totally impressed by the variety of foods we tasted today on Bernardo’s tour as well as the portions. After three hours on the tour, we were full. From pies, to fish, to chicken, to bitter balls, to cheeses and more; beer, coffee, liquors; we tasted it all. Plus it was a beautiful walking tour of the Jordaan neighborhood. Great tour from Europe eats! Bernardo was a great tour guide! We highly recommend it. The only constructive comment is for the participants, only eat a very light breakfast before the tour. Enjoy! We did!

My husband, 22 year old son, and I had a great tour with Tolga—relaxed, informative, entertaining, including anecdotes from his 25 years experience living in Amsterdam since he came here as a college student. The food stops were delicious, and clearly places that are his own personal favorites, not just a “canned” tour. My request for vegetarian options was seamlessly accommodated everywhere possible. Portions and drink offerings were generous! The canal boat we were lucky enough to ride in was absolutely gorgeous—a wooden classic in perfect condition. We had plenty of time for questions throughout the tour. At the end Tolga gave us some of personal recommendations for restaurants, brewery, music, etc. We went to one of his picks for dinner that night and had a fantastic meal. Overall a really fun afternoon, we all loved it!

Definitely book this tour, even if you have any allergies or dietary requirements,you will thoroughly enjoy the tour of Jordaan.
Jacobpo was an amazing guide, full of knowledge of Amsterdam and the food. He was very accommodating to all the visitors and very engaging with everyone.
Heads up, even if it’s raining …. You will carry on😁

Aileen was such an amazing, friendly guide! Loved the variety of food choices and vendors, her endearing interactions with the locals—and especially, her personality: “We love cheese here! How can anyone be depressed with cheese? Or fondue! Sitting in front of a bowl of melted cheese—how can you NOT be happy?” (This tour didn’t include fondue, but as a fellow cheese lover, I agree! Cheese= happiness!)
It was a very blustery day for our tour, but our group was small—only three+Aileen so definitely manageable. It felt like a group of friends going out, slipping into shops for a quick bite and tucking into “brown cafes” (old pubs from 1600’s) for something more substantial.

Very good food tour, great selection of foods to try from street eating to sit down meals. Good pairings of alcohol. Boat trip rounded off the tour.
Katya was an experienced guide with good local knowledge and made the group feel comfortable and we all got along very well.
Only improvement would be to have slightly bigger food portions especially for sit down meal.

I just booked this tour for two people on May 2 based on the recommendation of friends who visited Amsterdam a few months ago but want to make sure we picked the correct one with the wooden boat tour included at the end. Can you confirm this? Thanks! Blanche rose miller.

is it suitable for vegetarians?

The selections were mostly fish, lamb, pork, maybe beef and cheese, though I think the Indonesian place had some small vegetable offering. Then, there was dessert, apple pie/strudel in the morning, but I don't remember the last offering.

Hi, is the Joordan and the canal tour still available? The link keeps leading me to Joordan walking tour only. I'd love to do both Joordan and canal tour!

Hello,
Do you have some french guides in your tour ? Because we are a group of 8 persons, and not everyone fluently speaks English.
Thank you,
Sophia.

Hello Sophia,
Sorry for the late reply! We do have a French speaking guide available but he has a limited availability. When would you like to take the tour?

We have three young children and although two of them are relatively adventurous one isn't. It is possible for us to book the tour for myself and my husband and the children try out samples, rather than us booking for the children too. We want to include them and offer them different foods, but aren't sure it would be worth paying for samples for them too. What do you suggest?
Written August 20, 2016
Hello Isabella,
Sorry for our late reply! Both children and adolescents are offered lower prices on all our tours , these prices can be found on our website. Children below 4 are free of charge. We believe many of our samples are loved by children anyway like the apple pie and pancakes. Next to that we can always see how we can change the samples for your children. Just let us know when booking what you think they would definitely love or just not. Also we offer custom made tours like a Family Food Tour we did a few weeks ago (you can find the review on Tripadvisor) but for this the pricing depends on variables like your group size and desired length of tour. Just drop us an email if you would like to learn more about this.
Best regards,

Hello, this eating tour sounds like something we would love to do. Our only problem is the time. We arrive in Amsterdam at 7:35 am and am not sure we would make an 11:00 am tour by the time we get to our hotel. Do you have any eating tours around 1:00 pm or 1300 hours as you would say?
Written April 5, 2016
If u get to Amsterdam at 7:35 depending where your hotel is u should get to the tour easy enough on time !!

Would the food tour be appropriate for two little boys to join? My sons are 4 an 6; they are very adventurous eaters, but would the tour be likely to hold their interest, and are the guides comfortable with children in the group?
Written May 31, 2015
Hi there! The tours are definitely suitable for children. In the past we had several of children on tour. Our guides feel more then comfortable with young kids, and they will make sure they will have a great time.
