Highlights

Kick things off with saucijzenbroodjes — sample the classic Dutch meat pastry from a bakery that provides work and learning opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities.

See the Netherlands’ most famous daily market — Albert Cuyp Market, a vibrant marketplace that has been at the heart of De Pijp for over 120 years. Permanent stalls here are so coveted that vendors face a 20-year waiting list.

Taste rich, creamy Dutch Gouda at a beloved cheese counter.

Bring it all together at a cozy neighborhood café, where you’ll assemble your own savory pancake — a thin, crispy Dutch favorite made using the ingredients you personally pick at the market.

Cap it off with something sweet and hands-on. Make your own freshly baked stroopwafel during an interactive workshop, and enjoy it warm off the iron.

"We had a great time on the tour, the stroopwafel making was definitely the highlight of the tour, seeing it freshly made and tasting it warm was something special. Gerard added so much to the experience with his stories about Amsterdam, it felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a tour. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to taste the real Amsterdam! "

Meet Your Local Amsterdam Tour Guides

Our Amsterdam food tours are led by people who know this city through its markets, its kitchens, and its centuries of trade. They know which stall has the best herring, where to find a bruin café that still pours the way it did decades ago, and which neighborhood spot serves food shaped by every culture that's called this city home. They take you past the canals and into the Amsterdam that locals actually live.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Tour Information

Is a private Amsterdam breakfast tour with stroopwafel making worth it?

Absolutely — especially for families and small corporate groups. The interactive stroopwafel workshop is the main draw, and a private booking means your group has the workshop space to yourselves. With just 8 guests max, this is also the most intimate of our Amsterdam tours.

What's included in the price of the private breakfast tour?

All food and drink across 3 stops: saucijzenbroodjes, Dutch Gouda, Dutch-style ham, a savory pancake made from your market-picked ingredients, and your own handmade stroopwafel from the workshop. Coffee, tea, and water throughout. A donated meal via World Central Kitchen is included with every booking. No hidden charges, no upsells.

How long is the tour?

This private food tour runs 2.5 hours, with Monday-Friday 10:00 am departures. Custom timings available for corporate groups on request.

What neighborhoods does the tour cover?

De Pijp — Amsterdam’s Latin Quarter, home to the 120-year-old Albert Cuyp Market and a diverse community of artists, intellectuals, and diaspora communities. We meet at Ferdinand Bolstraat 76H, at the big tree surrounded by benches.

What is the private group size?

Private bookings are available for 2 to 8 guests — the smallest cap of any of our Amsterdam private tours, by design, because of the hands-on workshop format. For larger groups, we can arrange a custom experience or recommend our Private Jordaan tour, which accommodates up to 12. Get in touch.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least 2 weeks ahead. Corporate groups should book 4+ weeks in advance — and around RAI events (IBC, ISE, Money 20/20) and King’s Day, much earlier.

Can I customize the private tour?

Yes. Stops, pacing, dietary focus, and start time can be adjusted. We can also pair with our Private Jordaan tour for a full-day program, or extend with a canal cruise after the workshop.

What's the minimum age?

This tour is suitable from ages 4 and up — children under 4 can join for free, but food is not included for ages 3 and under. The stroopwafel workshop is especially popular with kids.

Food and Drink

What kind of food will we taste?

A Dutch breakfast spread with a hands-on twist — saucijzenbroodjes from a social-impact bakery, Dutch Gouda, Dutch-style ham, a savory pancake made from market-picked ingredients, and your own handmade stroopwafel warm off the iron. Plus coffee, tea, and water.

Are drinks included?

Yes. Coffee, tea, and water are included throughout. This is a morning tour, so we focus on warming beverages rather than wine or beer — though we can pair with a later boozy stop for adult-only groups on request.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?

Vegetarian-friendly — we can adapt the savory pancake and skip the saucijzenbroodjes for vegetarian guests. Vegan and gluten-free options are more limited given the pancake and stroopwafel focus; share dietary restrictions when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Are portions enough for a meal?

Yes — at 3 generous stops this is a full breakfast and more. Most guests don’t need lunch until late afternoon.

Booking and Payment

How do I book a private Amsterdam breakfast tour?

Book directly via the Book Private Tour button above, or contact [email protected] / +1 917-909-6432 to discuss custom requirements.

What forms of payment are accepted?

Major debit and credit cards, iDEAL, and Bancontact. Corporate invoicing, advance payment, and purchase orders available on request.

What is the cancellation policy for private tours?

Private tours can be cancelled and fully refunded up to 7 days before tour departure.

Do you offer corporate invoicing?

Yes. We handle company invoicing, advance payment, purchase orders, and dedicated event coordination for corporate bookings — ideal for RAI conference morning programs and small leadership team workshops.

Tour Experience & Expectations

Will the guide speak my language?

All guides are fluent in English and Dutch. Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German may be available on request — please ask when booking.

Will we visit the same places as other tours?

No. The majority of stops on every Amsterdam tour are venues that work exclusively with us, and on a private booking the route is built entirely around your group. The stroopwafel workshop is exclusive to this tour.

Is the tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

Albert Cuyp Market is largely flat and the workshop space is accessible. Please contact us before booking and we’ll plan a route that works for your group.

Do you offer other private food tours nearby?

Yes. We also run the Private Jordaan Food Walking Tour and the Private Food & Canals Tour in Amsterdam, plus private tours across Berlin, Copenhagen, and throughout Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, the UK, Greece, and the Czech Republic. Get in touch and we’ll help you build a multi-tour or multi-city itinerary.
