Overview

Two of Amsterdam's best experiences combined! Start with a small-group walking food tour through the Jordaan neighborhood. You'll hidden spots like a cheese maker with decades behind the counter, a bakery producing something the Dutch have been arguing about for centuries, a jenever bar that's been pouring since before your grandparents were born.

Then comes the exclusive canal cruise. Not a shared tourist boat. A private luxury saloon boat, just your group, max 11 guests, tracing the Prinsengracht, the Amstel, and the Herengracht for a full hour. You'll have a Bitterballen tasting on board, along a jenever drink, plus beer, wine, or soda.

A food tour and a private canal cruise, each worth booking on its own. Here, they come together!

What's Included

  • Try Dutch delicacies like Gouda cheese, real apple pie and more!
  • Enjoy 6-7 Dutch food tastings & 4 drinks, from street-food classics to a drink the locals swear by
  • Go on a walking tour and meet local artisans, listening to their intriguing stories
  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off
  • Extra drinks
  • Gratuities / Tips for the guide
