Fun and tasty way to explore - This was a well-paced way to taste and see the city! We had a lovely time and were delighted by the foods & boat. Our guide, Gerard, was great at making us feel welcome and introducing us to both the history & tastes of the city. He did a really superb job adapting to our group’s energy and made it feel like a highly personalized experience. The food itself was excellent—delicious savory foods in particular, though every location was a hit for us. We had limited time to see the city and this tour allowed us to cover a lot of the personality and flavor, both literal and figurative, without feeling rushed or overwhelming. Definitely would recommend Gerard and the experience!

Taste of Netherlands - Had a fantastic tour with Gerard. Gerards knowledge of local history was quite fascinating. We ended the tour with a ride on the canals. The whole experience was so enjoyable we look forward to doing it again.

Excellent Food tour - The tour was great! Gerard was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable. All of the foods stops were well executed and very tasty! The canal boat was in pristine condition. The canal ride was smooth sailing. Definitely recommend a tour with Eating Europe and if in Amsterdam with Gerard.

Great Tour, Good Food - Our tour started with apple pie, ended with Dutch croquettes, and was filled with good food and company in between. Our tour guide, Elena, was very sweet and knowledgeable. She shared a lot of history about Dutch food and some of the Jordan District in Amsterdam. She engaged everyone in the group and created situations in which we engaged with each other across the group. This was very useful to us as the canal cruise is in pretty tight quarters. I didn’t love all the food, but I didn’t dislike any of it. That’s just how Dutch food is; good but not great. But, as a tour, I’d recommend this one, especially if Elena is your guide.
