Your guide Michael, the "Cheese Lover", has 20 years experience running his own cheese shop in Switzerland and London, he now spends most of his time talking about cheese, including taking guests on these unique walks. On his tours you will visit 1 or 2 cheese shops away from the usual tourist traps and learn how to spot the best cheeses and how to make a perfect cheese board. He'll buy cheeses for the tasting and can also help you to choose cheeses to take home. Michael will then serve the cheeses and explain why they all look, smell and taste different. You'll also learn how the cheeses are made and the history of them. He also has many interesting anecdotes to share about Amsterdam and his world of cheese! This tour is on Wed, Thu and Fri, other tours (inc with beer and walks with luxury canal cruises) are on other days as well as windmill cheese lunches. Contact Michael for details.
