The Most Local Food Tour in Amsterdam

The public 10 Tastes of Amsterdam tour gives you 3 hours of pure Dutch deliciousness: 10+ tastings at 5 beloved local spots, from gooey stroopwafels hot off the iron at a 200-year-old bakery to Gouda cheese so good it should be illegal (paired with port wine, obviously). We stroll through the Jordaan, 9 Streets, and UNESCO canals, guided by a local expert who's part storyteller, part stand-up comedian. Drinks (yes, including wine, jenever, and coffee) are on us. You'll leave with a full belly and our cheeky How to Eat Like a Local survival guide.

The public 10 Tastes of Amsterdam tour takes about 3 hours, or just long enough to become Dutch enough to complain about the weather. It's a 2.5 km (1.5 mile) walk on canal-side cobblestones, with 5 delicious stops, lots of sitting, chatting, and nibbling. It's a tasting tour, not a marathon, but this Amsterdam public tour isn't wheelchair friendly, those cobblestones and cozy little venues rule that out. Foldable strollers are welcome though.

Nobody goes hungry on an Adam & Eve food tour. Vegetarian and pescatarian work well, and about 70 to 80% of our stops have a vegan alternative too, not quite all of them. Just mention it when booking and give your guide a little reminder at the start. We're Dutch, we like directness.

Yes, Adam & Eve runs a private wine and cheese tour in Amsterdam, and we're not the teasing type, unless it's about stroopwafels. Expect hand-picked wines and gourmet pairings in cozy venues. It's indulgent, intimate, and a little bit rebellious (like us). Reach out and let's swirl.

Sure thing! Kids are welcome on our Amsterdam food tour and we've got non-alcoholic drinks and snacks they'll love. Just know: if your kid prefers McNuggets to artisanal cheese, you might want to manage expectations, or bribe them with a warm stroopwafel.

Absolutely, Adam & Eve runs private food tours in Amsterdam for exactly that. Whether it's a birthday bash, family reunion, or one last hoorah before tying the knot, we'll design a private food adventure that's tasty, local, and a little wild (if that's your thing). Contact us and we'll make magic happen.

Ha! Of course it might rain, you're in Amsterdam. But our Amsterdam food tours run rain or shine. Bring a raincoat and some good shoes. Many stops are indoors or covered, and honestly, we've got enough tastings to make you forget the drizzle anyway.

Never more than 12 guests on the public 10 Tastes of Amsterdam tour. That's a hard cap, not a marketing line. Small enough to fit inside a 200-year-old bakery, hear every story, and have the guide know your name by the second stop.

On the public 10 Tastes of Amsterdam tour your group is mostly couples, friends and families from all over the world, usually food-curious travelers in their 30s to 60s. The small size means groups warm up fast. Many guests swap tips over the final drink.

Group size matters on a food tour because the stops are real neighborhood shops and brown bars, not event spaces. A group of 25 waits outside in shifts. A group of 12 or fewer fits inside, tastes everything fresh, and can actually ask the cheesemonger a question.

€79 per person when you book direct on our site, including 10+ tastings and 2 drinks. The same tour costs €89 or more on the big travel sites.

Yes. The private version of the same tour is one price per group: €460 for a couple and €930 for ten, which is €93 a person at ten guests. You get your own guide, your own pace and a flexible start time. See the private food tour page for the full ladder.

The Amsterdam food tour starts at Gastrovino, Spuistraat 330, an 8 minute walk from Dam Square and 5 minutes from Rokin metro. Come 10 minutes early and there is cheese waiting at the entrance while the group gathers. We finish in the Jordaan, near the Anne Frank House.

Cancel up to 24 hours before your Amsterdam food tour starts and you get a full refund, no argument. Need a different date instead? Email us and we will move you if there is space. Booked through Viator or GetYourGuide? Their rules apply, so check your voucher. Want more room than that? Add Trip Protection to a 10 Tastes booking at checkout and you can cancel up to 1 hour before the tour for a full refund.

Tours leave every hour from 10:00 to 18:00, evenings included. One insider note: the herring stop runs on 16:00 tours and earlier, so pick an afternoon slot if cured herring is on your Amsterdam bucket list.

Not tragic at all, and it happens every week on the Amsterdam food tour. One person books one seat at €79, same as everyone. With 12 guests max and three hours of eating together, nobody is still a stranger by the last stop.

Tipping is not expected on an Adam & Eve food tour. Service is included in every Dutch price by law and your guide earns a proper wage. If your guide made your day, around €10 a person is a fair thank you. Cash or PayPal, whichever suits you.

You need no cash on the Amsterdam food tour. Every tasting and both drinks are paid in advance, so there is nothing to settle at any stop. The one exception is a tip for your guide, and even that works via PayPal.

There is a toilet at the first stop and one at the last stop on the Amsterdam food tour. In between, your guide knows every cafe along the route where you can nip in for a minute. Just say the word.

Try to be no more than 20 minutes late for the Amsterdam food tour. Once the group is moving it can be hard to catch up with the guide, so leave a buffer, or arrive 10 minutes early and eat cheese while you wait.

Groups above 12 are welcome, just not on the public tour. Anything larger runs as a private food tour, and big company groups get split into small groups with a guide each, so nobody ends up in a crowd. Send us the number and the date.

Popular dates do fill up on the Amsterdam food tour, especially from May to September. The live calendar on the booking page shows what is free, and a few days notice is usually plenty outside peak weekends.
