Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

/ August 15, 2026

1.Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,315 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95Our pick

Amsterdam food and culture tour with Roman, local Dutch tastings, Jordaan stories, and an e-book. Small group, about 3.5 hours.

“We intentionally booked this tour for our first full day in Amsterdam, as a way to get a basic orientation to the city, culture, and food. It proved to be beneficial because we passed many of the sites on subsequent walks through the city, and we had context for where we were. Roman was an energetic and engaging tour guide. He made the tour the positive experience that it was. We learned from a later guide that Roman has a top-notch reputation amongst his peers in the Amsterdam tour community. We can understand why!”

10 Tastes of Amsterdam: Food Tour by UNESCO Canals and Jordaan

/ August 15, 2026

2.10 Tastes of Amsterdam: Food Tour by UNESCO Canals and Jordaan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,020 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $102

UNESCO canal and Jordaan food tour with 10 tastings, local drinks, and a small group walk. Cheese cellar to Anne Frank area.

“A bit confusing to begin multiple meeting points sent. Once we got on our way Dennis our guide was personable and had good stories to share regarding the history and culture of Amsterdam. The food experience was okay I assumed the tour would be more around Food tasting hence the name and less about drinking. 2 stops we got to try local cuisine plus drinks, 3 stops were sweet treats with one of three included a drink and one stop was for a local drink. Overall ok.”

It just kept taking me in a loop with no access to the voucher or the tickets. When I did finally get it resent to me the only address we got was a problem as there was no one to meet us at the meet up place. We arrived 45 minutes early and no was there to meet us at…”

There was no mention of the Included "Free Audiotour" or "free digital memory of you visit to LOOKOUT" and no obvious instructions from Viator on how to redeem them. I asked the person who scanned my tickets how to redeem my meal and was simply told to speak to the staff at the top. When we arrived at the skybar we ordered 2 drinks and enjoyed the view.
