Eat Your Way Through Amsterdam in 5 Curated Stops
The original 10 Tastes of Amsterdam, running since 2015. Others copy the name, nobody copies the 17th-century cheese cellar, the silky North Sea herring, or the guides.
Skip the touristy stuff and taste Amsterdam the local way. On this small-group walking tour, you’ll enjoy 10+ tastings across five beloved local spots, plus a few bonus pass-by moments, while strolling through Spui, the Canal Belt, the Nine Streets, and the Jordaan.
Expect a mix of sweet and savory Dutch classics, including fresh stroopwafels, Gouda pairings, and more, with stories, tips, and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.
Rather keep it just your group? The same route runs as a private food tour from €420 per group. And if you’re still deciding, we compared every major Amsterdam food tour, honestly.

Questions, answered
Will I be full by the end of this tour? +
Yes. You will enjoy 10+ tastings across 5 stops, most guests do not need lunch or dinner afterwards. It can easily replace a full meal, so come hungry.
Where do we meet, and where does the tour end? +
We start at Gastrovino Amsterdam (Spuistraat 330) in the city center. The tour ends in the Jordaan, close to the Anne Frank House.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies? +
Often, yes, but it depends on the restriction. Vegetarian and pescatarian options are usually possible, and we can often do gluten-free at most stops. Earlier tours tend to have more flexibility.

It is an easy, scenic walk of about 2.5 km / 1.5 miles along the canals. We keep a relaxed pace with plenty of stops and breaks.

Yes, families with young children are welcome on our tours. We offer non-alcoholic alternatives for the young ones.
How much does the Amsterdam food tour cost? +

Never more than 12 guests. Small enough to fit inside the bakeries and brown bars we visit, and for the guide to know your name by the second stop. Want it just your group? Book the private version.
What happens if it rains? +
The tour runs in almost all weather, this is Amsterdam after all. Most tastings are indoors, and the guide adjusts the route when it pours. Bring a rain jacket and you'll be fine.
What if I'm running late? +
Try to be no more than 20 minutes late. Once the tour is moving it may not be possible to catch up with the guide, so leave a little buffer, or arrive 10 minutes early and taste some cheeses at the entrance.
Is tipping the guide expected? +
Tips are appreciated but never required. If your guide made your day, you can tip in cash or via PayPal.
Do you sell gift vouchers? +
Yes. Pick any amount, the voucher arrives by email right after purchase, and it works as credit on any of our tours. Find the gift voucher page in the footer of this site.
