Excellent Food tour - The tour was great! Gerard was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable. All of the foods stops were well executed and very tasty! The canal boat was in pristine condition. The canal ride was smooth sailing. Definitely recommend a tour with Eating Europe and if in Amsterdam with Gerard.

Great Tour, Good Food - Our tour started with apple pie, ended with Dutch croquettes, and was filled with good food and company in between. Our tour guide, Elena, was very sweet and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of history about Dutch food and some of the Jordan District in Amsterdam. She engaged everyone in the group and created situations in which we engaged with each other across the group. This was very useful to us as the canal cruise is in pretty tight quarters. I didn’t love all the food, but I didn’t dislike any of it. That’s just how Dutch food is; good but not great. But, as a tour, I’d recommend this one, especially if Elena is your guide.

Great food, great cruise, and great value. - Our guide was great and showed up early to the meeting point. The food stops were all tasty treats complemented by history, local culture and some personal stories. The cruise was fun, scenic, and also accompanied by food and drinks.

Thanks Alda - The tour was a very interesting and authentic experience. The food was delicious and the canal ride a relaxed end in a lively and beautiful city. Alda was an emphatic, very pleasant and competent guide.

Amazing!!! - Relaxing stroll through one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Amsterdam with tastings of regional delicacies at local spots. An incredible way to spend the afternoon in Amsterdam, especially if you are looking for something chill to do that is not in the typical “touristy” area. Gerard l our guide was AMAZING. A lifelong-local, Gerard really added to the experience by adding personal anecdotes and taking time to answer questions throughout. Be sure to dress for the weather and wear good walking shoes.

10/10 Highly Recommend! - I highly recommend this food tour for anyone looking to visit Amsterdam. First, the food was delicious, and we were stuffed by the end. Second, our guide Jacob was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. Lastly, the boat portion of the tour was a great bonus, as we only had a short time to visit the city and were able to see the city from the water as well. 10/10!
