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

5.00Wonderful tour with Steve! He took us around Jordaan neighborhood telling us about history, local culture and, of course, traditional Dutch foods & snacks. All the cafes and restaurants we visited were great! The tour ended with a canal cruise where we sampled more snacks and drinks. I highly recommend this tour and Steve!

4.00Good food. Loved the Dutch Apple Pie and the cheese. Would have liked a nice herring or fish dish. Drinks were good. Boat on canal tour was not open except for a small area in back which prevented our sight lines. Overall a nice tour but a bit pricey.

3.00Honestly was not what I expected. We walked to go get great food that was great and loved that part with the drinks. The boat ride part of the tour was just ehhh we only got one drink a little boring and no food so it was not needed.

5.00Our Eating through Europe tour was absolutely fantastic! What made it soo good was our amazing energetic animated and knowledgeable tour guide named Sabrina. Definitely book a tour with her, I promise you won’t regret it. She is very friendly open and knows so much history about Amsterdam. She’s very good at what she does taking us from place to place at a good pace. I absolutely would do another tour with her.
