So I have been on many food tours, mostly across Europe, but also in the United States of America and Canada. Gerard is likely one of the best food tour guides I have encountered. He moved at a pace that was efficient, but also left enough time for questions and to digest the most delicious food in Amsterdam. He gave us enough history that it wasn’t too overwhelming yet it was educational. The photo stops All added to the overall positive experience. He has a wonderful way to bring a small group together for three hours to enjoy food and conversation together. Highly recommend.

10/10 Highly Recommend! I highly recommend this food tour for anyone looking to visit Amsterdam. First, the food was delicious, and we were stuffed by the end. Second, our guide Jacob was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. Lastly, the boat portion of the tour was a great bonus, as we only had a short time to visit the city and were able to see the city from the water as well. 10/10!

What a great way to see Amsterdam Our food and canal tour in Amsterdam with Rozanne was an unforgettable experience that combined local flavors, beautiful scenery, and warm hospitality. From the very start, Rozanne welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm and made everyone feel instantly comfortable. She had a wonderful way of sharing stories about the city’s history and culture, weaving in fun facts that made the tour both educational and entertaining. The food tastings were exceptional—each stop introduced us to authentic Dutch specialties, from cheeses and herring to sweet stroopwafels. Rozanne explained the origins of each delicacy and recommended the best local pairings, which really elevated the experience. What made it even more enjoyable was her passion for food and her personal tips for exploring Amsterdam’s culinary scene beyond the tour. Cruising along the canals after the tastings felt magical. The boat was comfortable, and the views were stunning, especially with Rozanne pointing out hidden landmarks and stories behind the architecture. She struck the perfect balance of guiding us while also allowing time to relax and soak in the atmosphere. We left the tour feeling both full and inspired. Rozanne’s expertise and warmth truly made the day special. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

Aileen
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.
