Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Amsterdam and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.
Amsterdam’s culinary scene is a flavorful mix of Dutch tradition and international influences that reflect the city’s diverse culture. You can’t leave without trying stroopwafels (thin caramel-filled waffles), bitterballen (crispy meat croquettes served with mustard), and haring (raw herring served with onions and pickles). For something heartier, try stamppot (mashed potatoes with vegetables and sausage) or poffertjes (fluffy mini pancakes dusted with powdered sugar). And of course, no visit is complete without sampling some of the Netherlands’ world-famous Dutch cheeses, from Gouda to Edam.
All food and drinks, as well as your professional local guide are included in the price you pay for the tour. No hidden charges or upsells here.

There is no dress code on our tours, however it’s recommended to wear a good pair of shoes (these are walking tours, after all!) and be prepared for the elements, even though most of our stops are indoors.
Yes, absolutely. There’s a Dutch word, gezellig, which roughly translates to a feeling of cosiness, conviviality, and warmth. That’s the feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Amsterdam.
You’ll find that spirit of gezelligheid from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the small, family-run shops in the Jordaan, help keep the canalside quiet at night, and learn the simple rhythm of the bike lanes. This is the authentic Amsterdam experience.
It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Dutch as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.
Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.
Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!
No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Amsterdam tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.
We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Amsterdam tour to suit your specific needs.
Countless canals, stunning architecture, and more unique things to see and do than you could hope to fit in – Amsterdam has long lured travellers with its beautiful laid-back vibe and wonderful scenery. But if there’s one aspect of the Dutch capital you should make it your mission to enjoy, it’s the food scene!
If you’re looking for a romantic experience, searching for an after-dark activity, or just want to try authentic dishes then our Amsterdam food tours will help you find the hidden gems and lesser-known aspects of the city’s eateries.
Joining an Amsterdam food tour gives you a chance to explore the city through its culinary culture with the help of our local food tour guides. Taste the local specialties, including Bitterballen (paired with a local beer, of course) and the herring that the Dutch are famous for!
