Eating Amsterdam: Food Walking Tour with Private Canal Cruise

4.9
(571 reviews)
Amsterdam, Netherlands

3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

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!
