Reviews
This was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam! Having one guide for the whole experience made it feel really personal, and our guide was fantastic—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the city. We loved exploring the Jordaan and discovering amazing local food along the way: aged Gouda, herring and crispy kibbeling, bitterballen, traditional apple pie in a brown café, warm poffertjes, Indonesian-Dutch saté, and a delicious briwat/roti roll with chicken. Everything was delicious and gave us a wonderful taste of Amsterdam’s diverse food culture. Trying jenever was also a fun and very Dutch experience! The private canal cruise was the perfect ending. Cruising through Amsterdam while enjoying bitterballen and jenever was such a memorable moment. We loved the combination of food, history, local culture, and the canals. Our guide made the whole afternoon relaxed, fun, and genuinely special. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterd
We loved this tour and would recommend to anyone. It was walkable, informative, and delicious. Our guide Joanna was lovely. She was fun, patient, and gave us great information about Lisbon. This was our first Eating Europe tour, but definitely not our last. Thank you for a wonderful day!
We had a great time with Oliver who gave us a tour of the city as well as helping us discover several local specialties. He was a great guide, clearly knowledgeable about a city he loves, very easy to talk to. We went home with full bellies and a new outlook on Prague. Great tour!
