This walking food tour in Amsterdam lasts about three hours and is led by a local English-speaking guide. The tour starts at Prinsengracht, where visitors try apple pie at a café that is over 400 years old, paired with coffee, cappuccino, or tea. Then the group walks through the Jordaan neighborhood, known for its narrow streets and canals, learning about its history as a home to workers, artists, and migrants. Along the way, participants taste traditional Dutch foods such as fresh herring and kibbeling at a fishmonger, sample organic Gouda cheeses at Café de Poort, and stroll along Brouwersgracht canal while hearing about 17th-century architecture and the city's Golden Age. The tour also passes De Gangen Willemstraat, an area once known for overcrowding and poverty. The guide introduces Surinamese and Indonesian influences on Amsterdam's food culture with a stop at a catering shop where homemade Surinamese rotirol is served. Visitors then try poffertjes, a classic Dutch sweet made fresh on a griddle with butter and powdered sugar. The tour ends at Café Dialoog, where guests eat crispy bitterballen and drink jenever in a traditional brown café. The tour includes local insights called 'Food & the City' insider tips.
