- Your private Amsterdam food tour includes around 10 premium tastings at 5+ beloved local stops — think warm stroopwafels from a 200-year-old bakery, artisanal Gouda with wine, Surinamese or Indonesian street snacks, Dutch fries, herring (before 16:00), chocolates, and a toast with jenever or European wines. But remember: every tour is different — your guide will design the route, stops, and timing around your tastes, the season, and the day’s best flavors.
- Sample Menu (10+ Tastings, Seasonal & Flexible) Traditional Gouda with wine – Aged Dutch farmer’s cheese paired with wine inside a 17th-century canal house cellar. Freshly made stroopwafel – A warm, traditional caramel waffle from a 200-year-old Dutch bakery, sometimes served with cinnamon liqueur. Dutch “sashimi” – Typical Dutch herring with onions and pickles from a local fishmonger (available before 16:00). Indonesian soup (soto ayam) – A colonial-era favorite, still a local tradition in Amsterdam’s food culture. Surinamese bara with chicken – A spiced, deep-fried bread with chicken filling; a typical Amsterdam street food you won’t find elsewhere. Dutch fries – Double-fried and golden, a traditional Dutch snack that might just be the best in the world (ask the Belgians…) — served with mayonnaise or satay sauce. Traditional jenever – The Dutch spirit we’ve been drinking for over 400 years, poured the old-fashioned way in a brown café. Bitterballen with local pilsner – Crispy Dutch beef croquettes paired with an Amsterdam-brewed beer in a traditional brown pub. Local apple pie – A Jordaan specialty, where cafés still compete for the title of “best Dutch apple pie in Amsterdam.” Dutch chocolate or pralines – Celebrating Amsterdam’s role as the world’s largest cocoa port. Surprise snack – Every guide adds a seasonal or typical Dutch favorite along the way. Important: This is a sample menu. Every private tour is unique and depends on season, timing, and your guide’s chosen route. Some tastings (such as herring) are only possible before 16:00. Dietary requests are welcome, but availability may vary — ask your guide, who will do their best to accommodate.
