Amsterdam Private Food Walking Tour with Tastings

Stan is an excellent tour guide that made this a great experience. He showed us around the city and pointed out many food places. He offered us a lot of different food tastings at local Dutch places and also included a beer tasting. We also left a review on Yelp :).

Our guide Stan made it a great tour. He had so much knowledge about Amsterdam and was able to answer all our questions. The food on the tour is also great, you get around 6 to 7 different food tastings. After the tour Stan also recommended us a great restaurant for the evening! Highly recommended!

Tony is really the best, it felt like doing a tour with a friend. It was a great combination of sightseeing and food tastings. I am not sure why some of the reviews are so negative when there was plenty of food on this tour. The pancakes and meatballs were our favorite :).

We love food tours, and try to do at least one food tour per vacation. We have taken at least 10 food tours over the last few years. This was by far the worst food tour we have done. Our tour was initially rescheduled as the tour guide called us and said that most vendors would be closed on the day we chose, so we were rescheduled for the next day. So the next day our tour guide showed up 15 minutes late as he said he was trying to find a fish vendor as most fish vendors were closed that day. We thought that's why we rescheduled from the day before, but okay. Our first stop was at a chocolate shop, where we sampled a variety of chocolate bars. They were tasty, but all samples in that shop are free anyway, so we could have gone there on our own without paying for a tour. Our second stop was at a vending machine-type place, where the guide fed coins into the machines and we chose a variety of fried or pre-packaged foods. Not what we would normally like to sample, and especially not on a food tour. They tasted like pre-packaged foods, as you would expect. Then he led us on a walking tour to the China town of Amsterdam, but didn't take us into any of the shops to sample any foods. ?? Then he took us to a cheese shop to sample local cheeses, which were good and more of what you expect on a food tour. By this time, everyone was very hungry as we had only sampled chocolate and cheese. Usually on food tours there is so much food you can't sample it all, but this was definitely not the case. Next he said we would have to walk quite a ways to the fish vendor as it was the closest one he could find that was open that day. At that point, everyone was grumpy, tired, and hungry, and we decided to call it quits on the food tour. I mean, what about stroopwafels, poffertjes, Indonesian food, mint tea, and those fries they make with all the various toppings you can pile on them?? Definitely a disappointment, definitely not worth the money we paid, definitely DO NOT recommend.

By far the worst tour of my trip. This is barely a food tour and that the description for this is not correct at all. Overall you get to try 2 things, ours was croquette from a place that resembles a 7-11 1.00 value roughly the size as a cheesestick and a small asian desert that we picked out ourselves roughly the same value, at the very end of the tour we were told that the cheese shop is right over there and they have free samples sitting inside so I'm not counting that, anyone can walk in and do that. There are no Stroopwaffles or pancakes as stated in the ad and if you bring an empty stomach like the ad says, you will be very hungry after. Otherwise there is a walking tour, the guide didn't seem very interested and took frequent phone and smoke breaks and most of the information we had already heard on other Amsterdam tours we had taken. I've done food tours all over the world and am no stranger to them, please note that this is not what you are getting, you are getting an average walking tour with 2 small, mediocre quality, food samples.

It was a good tour but it was more historical than food. When I think food tour, I think a tour where we try staple foods. We found that there is no real Dutch cuisine because they’re so diverse. Good info but not really a food tour.

Tony was lots of fun as he showed us around Amsterdam. Enjoyed the food and the sites. Great tour!

Was fun, tour guide was friendly. I thought the guide could have been more prepared though with places to see and food tasting.

For us this was more of a city walking tour with a few food tastings. Don't get us wrong, our guide Tony was friendly and very knowledgeable on all things Amsterdam, but based on other food tours we have done this one was average at best.

This tour was amazing! Our guide, Tony, was great. We sampled all the food described, he even found a different traditional food for one of us who didn't eat seafood. We left full! He gave us lots of history and showed us all of the main sights in old city. Highly recommend, great experience!
