On the Secret Food Tour: Amsterdam, you’ll uncover the city’s culinary heart through a mix of traditional dishes, hidden gems, and rich history. Guided by locals, this is more than just food - it’s a chance to taste the real Amsterdam.
Our journey takes us through streets lined with historic buildings, charming courtyards, and stories that reflect the city’s long past as a trading hub and cultural crossroads. Along the way, you’ll meet passionate owners of family-run businesses and restaurants, each preserving authentic flavors and traditions while adding their own personal touch.
Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy more than 6 tastings, carefully chosen to give you a true Dutch experience. From savory bites to sweet specialties, you’ll sample dishes that reflect the city’s unique food culture. Expect classics such as rich Dutch cheeses, fresh herring, crispy bitterballen, fluffy poffertjes, and other surprises that make the Netherlands’ cuisine so memorable.
And of course, no Secret Food Tour would be complete without our surprise Secret Dish, revealed only on the day of your adventure.
This tour is the perfect mix of food, culture, and history — a chance to eat like a local, learn how Amsterdammers dine out, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the city’s flavors and stories. Come hungry and curious, and you’ll walk away with more than just a full stomach — you’ll have a true connection to Amsterdam’s culture.
* Please note that our Sunday tour slightly changes: in place of traditional herring, we will enjoy Broodje Halfom, a traditional Jewish sandwich of pickled meat and liver sausage.
