Netherlands cuisine with a local - Amazing introduction to cuisine of the Netherlands with an amazing guide. As a picky eater I was hesitant to do a food tour, but I would happily say that I tried and enjoyed everything we had from fish to deserts. Katya was a wonderful tour guide who was extremely personable and happy to answer any questions we had about the food we were eating as well as the city itself. 10/10 experience that I would happily recommend to anyone visiting!

Definitely try this tour - I absolutely love Eating Europe and our guide Katya was truly fantastic! We got to try all the well known foods we’d been dying to try, we learned so much about neighboor shops, we got recommendations on places to go, and the boat tour was awesome! Katya was so kind and wonderful—it wouldn’t have been the same without her! Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful way to experience the culture and history of Amsterdam - Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed Danielle and her 4 hour “Eating Amsterdam” food tour. She was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and seemed very passionate about sharing information for Amsterdam and the food we tasted. The restaurant variety was spot-on what we were hoping for, from very traditional Dutch fare to more modern immigrant food. The canal tour for the final hour was the perfect way to end this fun afternoon together.

Great Food Great Guide! - We had an amazing time on the food and Canal tour today. Our guide Danielle was excellent. She managed to teach us about food and culture and history all at the same time. It was fascinating to hear history through the lens of the foods that are eaten in Amsterdam and throughout the country. And I learned a little bit about those foods that have traveled from Amsterdam to my home country. We managed to have little bit of sunshine on an otherwise rainy week so we were very blessed. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to dive deep into the food and culture of Amsterdam and also have an exquisite canal ride on a beautiful boat! Thank you, Danielle! PS: lots of good food so go with a hungry tummy!

Evening food tour with the best guide - Katya was our food tour guide and we had the most amazing experience! Katya was so kind and thorough and spent time telling us all about the food and history in the region. I highly recommend this tour as the canal ride is incredible, especially in the evening! If you have an opportunity, I recommend requesting Katya as your guide and she was the best guide we could have asked for on our food tour. Would absolutely book another food tour with her again!
