We toured in Amsterdam with Elaina(sp?) she was amazing. Her knowledge of the city and food was top notch. She was so sweet and the local places that she took us to eat were so delicious! It was a treat and the best experience! So now we're doing a tasting tour in London! 👏🏻

We had a wonderful time on the food and canals tour with Paul. We ate delicious apple pie, tried cheese, chicken satay, mini pancakes and more. Then we rode on a boat through the canal while enjoying drinks. All the spots were unique and special. Paul told interesting fun stories. Highly recommend!

Pick canals and food. Boat only is not as good Fun, informative and much better than canals- only tours. It’s 4 hour+ tour & mostly walking. Wanted more time on the water. Walking was 5 food stops and very nice. They chose owner-operated businesses which wis great! The guide was Alison and she is very personal and kind. A very fun day that I recommend to someone who wants to avoid crowds and learn about local food spots! Took more than 4 hours and it was worth it.

I'm Indonesian and have lived in Amsterdam for 18+ years
Love Dutch peasoup with traditional rye bread+ bacon
Best view of Amsterdam is at the top of NEMO science museum (and its free)!
Gerard
I have lived and worked in Amsterdam all my life and still love being in the city centre!
I love exploring all the options Amsterdam has to offer: from Indonesian rice table to cheese fondue at Nieuwmarkt
Take a free ferry across the IJ and explore the NDSM area with its marvellous Straat Museum. Or wander around Albert Cuypmarket!
Maarten
I'm from Leiden, I lived in the Jordaan for five years and now live in the beautiful Zaan region.
My favourite spot for Dutch pancakes is restaurant Upstairs on the Grimburgwal. Cheese, bacon and syrup are the holy trinity!
Exploring the historical Jewish quarter to the east of the city center, with the old Portuguese synagogue, Rembrandt's house and the Resistance Museum is a great way to learn about a lesser-known side of Amsterdam's history and culture.
