Additional Info
- Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
- Walking food tour: This tour covers approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 km) on foot with at least 5 tasting stops along the way. Not all stops have seating available, so guests ideally should be comfortable walking and standing. Also eateries might have steps and small stairs. Mobility challenges? For a shorter route a private tour is recommended (please inform us! ).
- Allergies: Most stops offer excellent vegetarian and pescatarian options. Gluten-free is possible at ~70% of stops before 16:00 — for a fully gluten-free Amsterdam food tour, the private option is best so we can design every stop around you. Peanut, shellfish, and nut allergies are usually not a problem, but please tell us so we can confirm with venues (e.g., ask to skip pesto). Share any allergies in the special wishes section when booking, and kindly remind your guide at the start of the tour. While most venues are accommodating, cross-contamination is possible in shared kitchens.
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Every tour is unique, but you might enjoy freshly baked stroopwafels from a 200-year-old bakery, artisanal Gouda paired with local liquor in a historic merchant house cellar, hand-cut Dutch fries with creamy mayo or satay sauce, colonial Indonesian treats or Surinamese street snacks, famous Dutch chocolates, zesty herring with onions (before 16:00), and a toast with traditional jenever or European wines. Our guides curate tastings based on their personal favorites, so no two tours are ever the same.
- Kids friendly: You may bring a stroller, but we sometimes will need to park it outside for a brief moment.
- We offer vegetarian and pescetarian alternatives, ensuring everyone's dietary needs are met. Gluten-free options are not always possible, but available at most stops for tours starting 16:00 or earlier. To accommodate special requirements, inform us at booking and remind your guide at the start of the tour.
