What a fabulous experience we had with Maria! We sampled a traditional waffle, visited a cheese shop, and tried the street food. Her knowledge of food was extraordinary and was complemented with a thorough commentary about the history of Amsterdam. Highly recommend!

We had such an amazing time on this food tour! Christian, our guide, is originally from London but has been living in the Netherlands for more than 15 years, and it shows – he knows all the best places and hidden corners of Amsterdam. The tour lasted about 3 hours (and went even a bit longer because we were enjoying it so much!) and included tastings of iconic Dutch treats: warm bitterballen, delicious cheeses, fresh herring, and more. Each stop came with great stories and fun facts about Dutch history and culture, which made the experience even richer. Christian’s passion for food and the city is contagious, and his friendly personality made us feel like we were exploring Amsterdam with a local friend. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and wants to experience the authentic side of the city!
Such a wonderful tour guide and experience. Very knowledgeable and had wonderful locations picked out. Highly recommend
It was incredible gastronomic tour across Amsterdam. We tried all Netlands delicacies, such as softest pickled herring, smoked eel, codfish, famous Amsterdam fries with 33 sauces on your taste, fantastic apple and lemon tarts, famous Netlands cheese, local beer and even local moonshine😊 Our guide Katya was amazing - so energetic and knowledgeable but at the same time sensitive to customers’ wishes making the tour comfortable and interesting!
We booked this tour on the first day of our short trip to Amsterdam, it was a great decision, because we have discovered so many good places to visit for the following days. Maria is very a professional tour guide, we spent an excellent time together. She offered us tons of places, and we right away tested some of them. Thank you again, Maria, it was a pleasure! Highly recommend!
Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide Sasha was so knowledgeable, friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in Amsterdam. All of the food was incredible, and allowed us a tast of the city in a few hours!
The food tour was mediocre. The guide talked mostly to one member of our group we didn't have 10 tastings,there were things listed in the description that we didn't do, and one of the places we went was a cheese shop with free samples. So it didn't feel like the customized experience that the everything else was.
Enjoyed the walking food tour with Maria. She is so sweet and knows the best spots! A great way to explore the city! Highly recommend.
AMAZING GUIDE! Must do experience in Amsterdam! We got to try many different types of Dutch food and it was wonderful while learning more about the city.
Катя, спасибо вам большое за невероятную экскурсию! мы ходили на индивидуальную экускурсию семьей, выбрали раздел гастро, в итоге помимо классных локальных мест узнали столько интересной информации, а главное, как все было уютно и душевно. я часто хожу на экскурсии, такую теплоту и атмосферу можно почувствовать только с Катей. обязательно вернемся снова :) Катя, thank you so much for the incredible tour! We went on a private tour with our family, chose the gastronomy section, and in the end, besides discovering fantastic local places, we learned so much interesting information. Most importantly, everything was cozy and heartfelt. I often go on tours, but such warmth and atmosphere can only be felt with Katya. We will definitely come back again :)
We had a wonderful time tasting some of the local treats like chocolates from Tony’s, herring and other fish from local take out. Our favorite was the local brewery with snacks as well as the pancakes and apple pie- delicious! Our guide Sasha was well informed and shared much of the local history with us. Despite some difficulty with a meeting place, we had a very enjoyable time! We would recommend this tour for a great overview of Amsterdam!
Sasha was a great guide. He included history in the tour. The food was varied and good. The view from the cafe we stopped at was amazing
Excellent Food Tour of Amsterdam. Our guide, Sasha, was outstanding. He was patient and helpful as our group got a bit lost trying to find the meeting spot. Sasha was charming, well informed, and fun. His passion for history was evident as he shared many interesting facts and stories about the history of Amsterdam. We would highly recommend this tour!
The tour was a fantastic way to learn about the city, history and culture. Our family toured with Sasha who was very knowledgeable and engaging - even with our 6 and 10 year olds. We stopped for Dutch pancakes, cheese, herring and apple pie - all great spots.
What a delightful walking food tour!!! Our guide Shasha knew just the right lfood sites to sample local foods. He knew so much information about the foods and the history of the area. Great tour to take.
