Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

/ August 11, 2026

1.Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,315 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95Our pick

Amsterdam’s small-group food and culture walk with tastings, Jordaan sights, and Roman’s e-book. 3.5 hours in English.

“Roman is an EXCELLENT host. I was impressed by the food at each of the venues he took us to. There was a great variety: cheese, herring, fries, bitterballen, appeltaart, etc. It's clear he has a great relationship with all the shop workers as everyone greeted me and my companions cheerily as we came and went. And beyond the food, Roman also had some great stories to tell about the history of Amsterdam as he guided us through various charming neighborhoods. He even held traffic for us so no one got hit by a stray bike. I'm so pleased with booking this experience and will be recommending it to anyone…”

Visit UNESCO Kinderdijk windmills with two museum mills, a pumping station engine room, and a polder boat cruise, from Rotterdam.

We spent several hours at Kinderdijk, taking our time to visit the windmills and learning about their history. The windmills were nicely preserved and it is definitely a must-visit for first-timers to Netherlands.”
