Our multigen group of 9 had a fantastic afternoon with Thijs! We walked the streets and visiting some cool eating spots. We feel we got a great sense of the local favorites and general vibe. Thanks for the great tour- would do it again 100%!

Die Foodtour hat uns großen Spaß gemacht und das Essen war sehr lecker. Man kommt an Ecken in der Stadt, die wir ohne die Tour sicher nicht entdeckt hätten. Auch einige der Foodspots hätten wir wahrscheinlich nicht probiert. Wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder machen, vielen Dank an unseren Guide Rudolf!

My husband and I joined Amsterdam Food Tours and although there were only 4 out of 8 people attended, the tour went ahead. Thijs was our guide and we found him to be very warm and informative. Thijs answered all our questions about Amsterdam even how to use the metro! The food and drink tastings were very delicious and extremely generous portions. We have no hesitation in recommending Amsterdam Food Tours!

Top notch!! I would highly recommend! Katya was our guide and I was very impressed with her knowledge of Amsterdam. She took us to a lot of unique food stops, so many in fact that I was stuffed! She is very personable and gave us some really useful tips on sights to visit during the remainder of our stay. Thank you again Katya, it was an incredible tour!!!

Highly recommend this tour. Thijs is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We did this tour on the first day of our trip, and got recommendations on other restaurants and activities to try while in town. All turned out to be great experiences. The tour itself had a wealth of historical knowledge and great food while avoiding tourist traps. We were able to take a brief detour and try a couple extra stops. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

Absolutely fantastic private food tour with Jan! This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Jan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, and from the beginning it felt more like exploring the city with a local friend than being on a formal tour. Every food stop was excellent, and we loved getting to try a variety of Dutch specialties while also learning about Amsterdam’s history, neighborhoods, and culture along the way. What really made the experience special was Jan himself. He took the time to answer all of our questions, never rushed us, and made the entire tour feel personal and tailored to us. If you’re considering a food tour in Amsterdam, I would highly recommend booking a private tour with Jan. Great food, great conversation, and a wonderful way to experience the city. We would absolutely book with him again!

What an outstanding food tour! Well organized, very informative. We learned a great deal about Amsterdam that we otherwise would not have known. Food tells the story of a city: its people, its history, its culture. We got to interact with shop owners who have been doing this work for generations. What an absolute treat. A+ would do again!

My husband booked a tour just for us last weekend with Jan. It was 4 hours and we had a great time! We had a variety of foods in different places and learned so much about the history & culture of Amsterdam. Jan individualized our tour to accommodate our questions and factored in the extreme heat. His stories and historical content were blended along in a natural discussion as we walked, tasted, and explored Amsterdam through our senses. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!

Excellent tour and tour guide. Rudolf was knowledgeable, friendly and a great sense of humour! We sampled a wide range of delicious food, in varied neighbourhoods.

Our experience with the Amsterdam walking food tour was fantastic! We felt like a local while visiting all the markets, wine shops and food establishments that Thijs, our guide, personally enjoys! Our meeting place at the historical and charming Le Papeneiland set the tone for the day. We enjoyed their signature Apple Pie while getting to know Thijs. We highly recommend this tour and look forward to our next tour when in Amsterdam Thanks again! Tammy and Jon San Diego , CA

We had a wonderful food tour of the Jordaan district of Amsterdam with our guide, David. David was an excellent guide, and gave us a first class Dutch food experience. Not only did he shepherd us through Amsterdam’s streets and along the canals , he also wove the history of both the city and the country into the Dutch food & cafe culture in a way that brought it all to life. Many thanks for a very memorable experience. We are very comfortable recommending this tour and David to anyone coming to Amsterdam.

Our Amsterdam Food Tour was excellent. The places we visited and the food we tasted made us feel like locals. More importantly, our guide, Joanna, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We highly recommend without reservation, this tour with Joanna.

Really wonderful tour! I was fresh off a red eye flight and this tour was such a wonderful introduction to Amsterdam! So many yummy tastings, there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch! Thijs was so knowledgeable! Because of his wonderful connections to the community we were welcomed warmly every place we went! The food and drinks really were exceptional, like…Dutch wine? Who knew! It didn’t hurt that the Jordaan neighborhood feels so special and beautiful, and the day we had was just a perfect spring day with the “May snow” sprinkling down from the trees. I would absolutely do this tour again, and I do hope to bring my husband next time. He’s been jealous of all the local knowledge I’ve been dropping. If I had only 4 hours to experience Amsterdam, I would have left this tour happy and feeling like I’d gotten to see the real city! It’s a cheat code straight past the instagram famous Amsterdam and right to the true flavor of this wonderful city!

Food tours are our favorite things to do in new cities, and this tour did not disappoint! Rudolph was an excellent tour guide, introducing us to new foods as well as teaching us about the history and architecture of Amsterdam. But come HUNGRY as the amount of food is quite abundant. Definitely recommend!

Thijs was superb! We had a delightful day and enjoyed the food and drink. His knowledge of Amsterdam’s history along with maps to illustrate the periods throughout history added so much to the experience. We will certainly recommend Amsterdam Food Tours to friends in the States!

The food tour itself was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it based on the choices alone, but the stories and knowledge of the area made it all that more enjoyable. This was absolutely an experience not be missed. Taking it the first or second day is a terrific way to be introduced to Amsterdam, particularly the Jordaan. Thank you the Amsterdam Food Tour team for a fabulous day!

This was big fun and interesting. Discovering the hidden habits of the locals, and receiving some history facts combined with personal view on the way to the different stops. Don't tell everybody this tour exists, you don't want it to get too commercialized.

Thijs led one of most outstanding and comprehensive food tours my husband and I have even been on (and we have done a lot)! We not only had an abundance and variety of Dutch food that was delicious but Thijs and his colleague Joanna shared so much Danish history not only about the food and the places we went to but about the neighborhoods and the development of Amsterdam. We both agreed Thijs food tour was one of the highlights of our 6 days in Amsterdam and we would strongly encourage anyone whether you’re interested in food, history or the culture of Amsterdam to do this tour!

We had an excellent afternoon with Katya earlier this month on the Grand Dutch food tour. We enjoyed sampling many dishes that we would not have tried otherwise (herring, satay, cured meats) if we were to go out on our own. The nice touch and probably my favourite (toss up between that and the apple pie) was the Dutch wine and cheese tasting in the quiet back room of this cute shop. We were very fortunate to only have our family of 3 on the tour so we got extra attention and all of our crazy questions answered along the way as we love hearing unique historical facts. Thanks again for treating us so well.
