Our food tour of Amsterdam was an absolute delight, thanks in large part to our incredible guide Gerard! It was clear from the moment we started that he wasn't just reciting facts from a script; he truly grew up in the area and possessed a deep, intimate knowledge of Amsterdam's culinary scene and its rich history.
Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen to include hidden gems serving traditional Dutch treats. Our guide's personal anecdotes and insights about growing up in the city added so much color and context to each dish and neighborhood we explored. He proudly showed us the school where his father was headmaster. He effortlessly wove together stories of the past with the present, making the experience both delicious and incredibly informative.
His passion for Amsterdam and its food was infectious, and his recommendations were spot-on. We left the tour with full bellies, a much better understanding of the city, and a list of new favorite spots. If you're looking for a food tour that goes beyond the surface and offers a genuine taste of Amsterdam through the eyes of a true local, look no further! Highly, highly recommend Eating. Amsterdam:Jordaan Food Tour with Gerard as your guide.

This tour was great! It was nice to walk around the city and explore the history / architecture. I do wish we experienced some more street food but what we did try was pretty good. The apple pie was amazing and finishing it off with liquor on the boat was fun.

The amazing food on this tour was an unexpected surprise. There was sooo much to eat and the food quality and taste was just outstanding. We loved starting the tour off with apple pie and the tour showcased all the best parts of Amsterdam. Our guide Roseanne was beyond pleasant and upbeat—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this tour!

We had Gerard as our guide through this beautiful city. The experience was fantastic. His knowledge of a place where he grew up and called home for many years was insightful and inspiring. The bars, restaurants and shops were fantastic as they were beautiful. The food at every stop was delicious and it was fun to get to try authentic Dutch cuisine. My wife and I will certainly return to several of the stores for a meal before we leave Amsterdam. Thank you Gerard for making our experience in Amsterdam so much better. I highly recommend Eating Europe Food Tours as must do experience during your stay in Amsterdam.

The best food tour ever! Absolutely fantastic food tour. Our guide was superb. He was an urban planner and a foodie and knew a ton about the history of the city. Food was great and so was the whole experience. We liked that it had both a walking portion and a boat ride. 5 stars!

Amazing tour made even better by our guide Gerard. I was really glad we booked the tour with the canal boat and Gerard knowledge of the local area and recommendations for things to do after the tour were fantastic. I wouldn’t book any other tour over this one.

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.
