Boutique Dutch Food & History Tour - by Amsterdam Food Tours
Tired of food tours with large groups, tourist tastings, and rushed stops? Ours is different.
With a maximum of 10 guests (often just 6–8), our tours are small, personal, and thoughtfully paced. You’ll be mostly seated at quality, local spots — with a few outdoor tastings chosen for their charm, not convenience. Some stops even offer private tasting rooms for a more intimate experience.
Special drinks like craft beer, jenever, or natural wines are included where they fit the story — never an extra charge or off-limits.
Led by a Dutch guide with deep local ties, this tour skips the tourist trail and takes you into the real culinary heart of Amsterdam.

What's included in Boutique Dutch Food & History Tour - by Amsterdam Food Tours
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cafe Papeneiland
Meet your guide and fellow participants at Amsterdam's finest Dutch 'bruine kroeg' (brown pub) and enjoy the famous homemade apple pie with a drink to your liking just like Bill Clinton once did here. The ideal way to start the tour in a relaxed way, get to know each other and hear fascinating stories such as why the Dutch don't consider apple pie a dessert and why they like to eat it in a brown pub. And your guide also likes to tell you about the history of Amsterdam and the Jordaan neighborhood where the tour takes place.
Visit one of Amsterdam's most famous butcher shops , located in the Jordaan since 1892 and owned by the Louman family for six generations. In this store you will get the real Jordaan feeling while tasting the best 'ossenworst'. This is a smoked raw beef sausage with oriental spices that was already made in the early 17th century by the Amsterdam kitchen maids as a luxury delicacy for the rich Amsterdam merchants. And that's not all because we will also let you taste a typical Dutch ham, pork sausage and salted beef.
