This is an excellent food tour to book if you have less time available, want to try a food tour for the first time or maybe not everyone in your party wants to spend half a day on it. In 2.5 hours you will enjoy 4 famous Dutch snacks and get an introduction to the 17th century Jordaan neighborhood.
" I am lucky enough to have been to Amsterdam several times over the years, this tour is one of the best experiences I've ever had here. Rudolph is an amazing tour guide sharing the history of Amsterdam with great personality and sense of humor. It’s hard to pick a favorite food spot as they were all amazing! "

What to expect
The Jordaan Dutch Food Tour is our new short food tour that we are offering from 2023. The name is derived from our oldest food tour which we have been offering since 2018 and now, with the addition of some deluxe upgrades, is called the 'Grand Dutch Food Tour'.
Short food tours for a reasonable price you can find many in Amsterdam so that makes this tour no different. What does make it different is that we managed to develop this tour without compromising our own high quality standards. For example, the group size is limited to a maximum of 10 guests, you can sit inside at two dining locations, we serve you two drinks and very importantly, we still serve you the tastiest Dutch snacks that go beyond the cliche street and tourist quality food. And also the guides on the tours are still the same experienced, welcoming and local guides you may expect from us.
The tour, as will not surprise you, takes you through the Jordaan, since the beginning our real home in Amsterdam. This former working-class neighborhood from the early 17th century is now one of Amsterdam's most beloved and well-known neighborhoods. The start and end point of the tour is close to all kinds of central locations and famous spots such as the Anne Frank House, the Nine Streets, the Palace on Dam Square and Central Station.

What kind of food do you serve?
Unlike the Grand Dutch Food Tour, the locations and tastings are the same each tour. They consist of 4 stops with Dutch apple pie, 3 kinds of farmers Gouda cheese , Indonesian-Surinamese satay and at the last stop you can choose between something savory with the typical Dutch pub snack called 'bitterballen' or if you are more into sweet you can choose 'poffertjes' , mini pancakes with butter and powdered sugar. And of course you can also share with each other if you can't choose. At the first and second dining location you can choose a drink (draft beer, wine or non-alcoholic beverage) and with the cheese we serve half a glass of wine.
