Most private tours include this stop, but every tour is different.

7. **Begijnhof** (pass by, no stop) - Let us point you to a 15th century hidden garden with a secret house church, where even some locals do not know about! If time allows, ask your guide to peek inside.
8. **A traditional 'brown café' nestled in the heart of the Jordaan district, Café...** (10m; admission included) - A traditional 'brown café' nestled in the heart of the Jordaan district, Café Hegeraad has been a neighborhood staple for over a century.

11. **Experience the pinnacle of chocolate perfection with our selection of bonbons** (10m) - With the Netherlands importing 1.5 billion cacao annually, we ensure that if it's not Dutch, it's not much!
12. **9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes)** (20m) - Explore Amsterdam's hip 9 streets shopping district, on the backdrop of 400 year old canals. Skip the line while we enjoy some famous Dutch fries.

- Your private Amsterdam food tour includes around 10 premium tastings at 5+ beloved local stops — think warm stroopwafels from a 200-year-old bakery, artisanal Gouda with wine, Surinamese or Indonesian street snacks, Dutch fries, herring (before 16:00), chocolates, and a toast with jenever or European wines. But remember: every tour is different — your guide will design the route, stops, and timing around your tastes, the season, and the day’s best flavors.
- Sample Menu (10+ Tastings, Seasonal & Flexible) Traditional Gouda with wine – Aged Dutch farmer’s cheese paired with wine inside a 17th-century canal house cellar. Freshly made stroopwafel – A warm, traditional caramel waffle from a 200-year-old Dutch bakery, sometimes served with cinnamon liqueur. Dutch “sashimi” – Typical Dutch herring with onions and pickles from a local fishmonger (available before 16:00). Indonesian soup (soto ayam) – A colonial-era favorite, still a local tradition in Amsterdam’s food culture. Surinamese bara with chicken – A spiced, deep-fried bread with chicken filling; a typical Amsterdam street food you won’t find elsewhere. Dutch fries – Double-fried and golden, a traditional Dutch snack that might just be the best in the world (ask the Belgians…) — served with mayonnaise or satay sauce. Traditional jenever – The Dutch spirit we’ve been drinking for over 400 years, poured the old-fashioned way in a brown café. Bitterballen with local pilsner – Crispy Dutch beef croquettes paired with an Amsterdam-brewed beer in a traditional brown pub. Local apple pie – A Jordaan specialty, where cafés still compete for the title of “best Dutch apple pie in Amsterdam.” Dutch chocolate or pralines – Celebrating Amsterdam’s role as the world’s largest cocoa port. Surprise snack – Every guide adds a seasonal or typical Dutch favorite along the way. Important: This is a sample menu. Every private tour is unique and depends on season, timing, and your guide’s chosen route. Some tastings (such as herring) are only possible before 16:00. Dietary requests are welcome, but availability may vary — ask your guide, who will do their best to accommodate.
- This is your tour, your way. Select breakfast, lunch, or dinner start times. Share any dietary needs in the special wishes box when booking. Vegetarian and pescatarian options available; gluten-free possible at most stops. Peanut, shellfish, and nut allergies usually not a problem, but please tell us so we can confirm with venues (e.g., skip pesto). Kindly remind your guide at the start of the tour.
- Our private tours typically cover around 1.5 miles (2.5 km) at an easy pace, with plenty of delicious stops and time to soak up the sights. If you’d prefer a shorter stroll or have mobility concerns, just let us know — we’ll tailor the route so you enjoy the full flavor of Amsterdam without the rush.
