About This Tour
This isn’t just a food tour, it’s a journey through culture, flavour and hidden corners of the most beautiful city in the Netherlands. On this guided walk, you’ll pass the Dom Tower, stroll along centuries-old wharves, and learn quirky stories you won’t find in any guidebook, like why “soft opening” doesn't translate to Dutch and how the longest street poem winds through the city. The real star of the tour? The food. At every stop, you’ll taste something unexpected: Dutch “bitterballen” reinvented as plant-based perfection, falafel turned street food rebel, and sweet treats that will make you forget they’re vegan. You’ll get a lunch’s worth of delicious local bites from passionate entrepreneurs. We’re not a list of stops and snacks. We’re a company run by locals who believe in showing you the city through a different lens – one that’s sustainable and full of flavour. We share stories that connect you to the culture behind the cuisine. Also available as a private tour on Tripadvisor.
