Tour Highlights

• Kick things off with a sweet and cinnamon-spiced breakfast adored by locals and visitors alike.

• Taste history in the form of… fresh herring and kibbeling (don’t knockit ’till you try it!) 🐟

• See the Netherlands’ most famous daily market, where stalls are so coveted by vendors that permanent places have a 20-year-long wait list!

• Say it with me: Saucijzenbroodjes. Sample the Dutch meat pastry from a bakery that provides work and learning opportunities to underrepresented youth.

• You can’t leave Amsterdam without savoring Suriname cuisine. The former Dutch colony is responsible for some of the country’s most vibrant flavors, and you’ll experience the best of them in the form of a renowned roti roll 🇸🇷

• Gouda thing we didn’t forget the cheese. Taste some of the best of the rich, caramel-like, nutty Dutch national treasure.

• Cap off the tour with bitterballen and jenever in a cafe whose building has been standing since 1735! 🍻

At the end of our tour, our guides can point you in the right direction or call a taxi for you (or give you a recommendation of what to see next nearby).
