3.5-hour Amsterdam food and canal tour with +10 tastes and drinks, small-group Jordaan stroll, and history with a local guide.
“This is an excellent tour that showcases small, neighborhood restaurants, and a broad variety of cuisine that are local to Amsterdam and the Netherlands. The restaurants selected are the ones that nearly residents would go to for dinner or a bite, and allowed you to feel what a real local would experience. Our guide, Maddie, was knowledgeable about the history of the neighborhoods and food, and brought with her personal experience of growing up in a foodie family (her father has won 15 James Beard Awards) and was exceptional for her engagement, stories, and knowledge. I would do this tour again if Maddie was leading it.”
