Eat Your Way Through Amsterdam in 5 Curated Stops
Skip the touristy stuff and taste Amsterdam the local way. On this private walking tour, you’ll enjoy 10+ tastings across five beloved local spots, plus a few extra 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 local stories, insider tips, and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. It’s a relaxed, personal pace, so it works well for families, friends, and small celebrations. Because the route bends to your group, we can keep it wheelchair accessible, make the whole tour vegan or halal, and start as late as 19:00. What you pay depends on how big your group is, so have a look at what a private tour costs before you pick a date.

Can you do vegan, halal or other dietary needs on a private tour? +
The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour can be fully vegan or fully halal, because the route is built around your group, and vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free are no trouble.

Is the private food tour wheelchair accessible? +
The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour can run on a wheelchair-accessible route: tell us when you book and we pick the stops a wheelchair can reach, which is the one thing a private tour can do that a fixed group route cannot. Strollers are no problem either, and a foldable one is easiest.
What time can a private food tour start? +
You pick the time, and a private tour can start as late as 19:00, so an evening slot after your museums or your meetings works. One thing worth knowing: the herring stop only runs on tours starting at 16:00 or earlier, so mention it if that tasting matters to you.
How much walking is involved? Is it suitable for slow walkers? +
The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour is an easy, scenic walk of about 2.5 km / 1.5 miles through central Amsterdam and the Jordaan. Because the tour is private, the guide keeps a relaxed pace for slow walkers and adjusts the route a little if needed.

What happens if it rains during a private food tour? +
The private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour runs rain or shine, this is Amsterdam after all. The tastings are indoors and your guide adjusts the walking between them when it pours. Bring a rain jacket and you will be fine.
Is tipping expected? +
Tipping is not expected on the private 10 Tastes of Amsterdam food tour, or anywhere in the Netherlands: service is included by law and your guide is paid properly. If they made your day, a tip is welcome and always optional, and a review on Google or Tripadvisor does even more for them.
