Eating Amsterdam: Food Walking Tour with Private Canal Cruise
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Two of Amsterdam's best experiences combined! Start with a small-group walking food tour through the Jordaan neighborhood. You'll hidden spots like a cheese maker with decades behind the counter, a bakery producing something the Dutch have been arguing about for centuries, a jenever bar that's been pouring since before your grandparents were born.
Then comes the exclusive canal cruise. Not a shared tourist boat. A private luxury saloon boat, just your group, max 11 guests, tracing the Prinsengracht, the Amstel, and the Herengracht for a full hour. You'll have a Bitterballen tasting on board, along a jenever drink, plus beer, wine, or soda.
A food tour and a private canal cruise, each worth booking on its own. Here, they come together!

Deliciously entertaining

5.00Sabrina is very knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its culture, especially the food culture- and is very entertaining. The tour and the selections allowed us to check a lot of the must try dishes off the list (herring, apple tart, Surinamese, and more) while getting a quick orientation to the area. Sabrina was attentive to the tour group and each person’s needs. Seasoned travelers and first time visitors learned and had fun simultaneously.
Great Way to Introduce Yourself to Amsterdam

5.00Alda took 5 of us on a great eating tour. She was fun, very knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions. We walked away feeling like we had a new friend, stuffed with excellent Dutch cuisine, and smiles on our faces.
Plenty of food!

5.00Lots and lots of food and drinks! Great tour. Unique experience with the canal cruise. Elena was a wonderful guide. She combined historical information along the way but it was not too much information. Each stop was terrific and food we probably would not have chosen if we were on our own. Portions were large. Loved the group size too. Just right. I would highly recommend this experience and look forward to joining them in our next country.
A great way to tour the city
