Taste classic Dutch bites and Surinamese twists in Amsterdam’s Jordaan on a small-group 3-hour tour with included drinks.
“Our guide Elena was very friendly and took us to a wide variety of places to taste a particular food or drink. The Jordaan neighborhood was a lovely place for a relaxed walk as we visited local businesses for tasting selected specialties. We learned a little about traditional Dutch foods such as a progression of Gouda cheeses that pair with either coffee, wine or beer. We ate the best fresh herring I ever tasted and washed down a crispy bitterballen with a smooth glass of Jenever. Smooth Jenever? Believe it or not it was smooth. This review leaves out many wonderful tastes, but we would be remiss without mentioning the…”

Windmills, clogs, and a real Dutch cheese tasting in Zaanse Schans, plus an optional Amsterdam canal cruise from Central Station.
“The area we visited was awesome! Our tour guide was great! However, I feel like we paid a lot just for a bus ride to the town. All the other experiences offered were free to anyone who visited. It was worth the trip, but we could've gotten there cheaper on our own and had the same experiences.”

The tour itself was well paced. A special shoutout to our driver Felcro, too!! He did an amazing job driving us safely to all destinations. The bus itself was clean and well ventilated.
