We were on a 12 day trip through multiple cities in Europe and at the end, we all universally agreed the food on this tour was the best of anything we had on the entire trip! We found the canals and views of the city beautiful. Aileen was an excellent guide – very personable and easy to talk to. Thanks for an awesome tour!
The Food and Canals tour was very good. The tour itself was interesting and the food was great. Our guide Jelte was excellent: he knew what he was talking about and seems to fit in that job perfectly. Definitely worth every penny!
Fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide and of course we loved the food.
The food stops were excellent choices. It gave us a very nice overview of the food, wine and beer. Our guide Jelte was very informative and funny, he totally enhanced the experience.

I love organizing private dinners at home! One of the Dutch comfort foods I prepare is boerenkool stamppot.
Discover the Houseboat Museum with its vintage charm, and explore the Kattenkabinet, a canal house filled with captivating cat-themed art. A must visit for cat enthusiasts!
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.
