The Grand Dutch Food Tour presents an engaging, diverse, and thorough exploration of Dutch food and history.
What sets this tour apart is the variety of locations you’ll explore. For instance, you’ll savor homemade Dutch apple pie in a traditional ‘brown cafe,’ stop by an incredible cheese shop that ages its own cheeses in an ancient bunker, and conclude at the 17th-century former headquarters of the Dutch West India Company. This is where the plan was hatched to establish New Amsterdam, which later became known as New York.
Your journey will encompass the Jordaan neighborhood, constructed in the early 17th century to accommodate the numerous workers and immigrants flocking from all corners of Europe to find wealth in the thriving city of Amsterdam. Today, it’s perhaps the most preferred district among locals. Furthermore, we’ll guide you around the world-renowned Amsterdam canals and canal houses, homes and storage of the affluent merchants of the Golden Age, their goods coming from all over the globe.
