Private Jordaan Food Walking Tour Amsterdam

Absolutely — especially for groups. Café Papeneiland’s apple pie alone justifies the booking, and our local guides get you into Surinamese, Indonesian, and Dutch artisan spots that aren’t on most tourist itineraries. A private booking gives your group exclusive access to a 4-cheese tasting at our partner cheesemonger and bitterballen paired with jenever at a brown bar.

All food and drink across 6 stops: apple pie at Café Papeneiland, herring and kibbeling (or stamppot), a 4-cheese Gouda boerenkaas tasting, a Surinamese roti or Indonesian satay, and bitterballen with jenever. Coffee, tea, Dutch beer, wine, soda, and water are all included. A donated meal via World Central Kitchen is included with every booking. No hidden charges, no upsells.

This private food tour runs 3 hours, with daily departures at 11:00 am, 11:30 am, 2:00 pm, 5:00 pm, or 5:30 pm. Custom timings available for corporate groups on request.

Jordaan — Amsterdam’s most charming canal-side neighbourhood, west of the city center, featuring picturesque canals, hidden hofjes (courtyards), and 17th-century working-class architecture. We start at Noordermarkt 48.

Private bookings are available for 2 to 12 guests. For larger groups, we can arrange a custom experience — get in touch.

We recommend at least 2 weeks ahead. Corporate groups should book 4+ weeks in advance — and around RAI Amsterdam events (IBC, ISE, Money 20/20) and King’s Day, much earlier.

Yes. Stops, pacing, dietary focus, and start time can be adjusted. We can also pair with our canal boat ride, extend into De Pijp, or add Indonesian rijsttafel options for corporate groups.

This tour is suitable from ages 4 and up — children under 4 can join for free, but food is not included for ages 3 and under.

Dutch classics with a multicultural Amsterdam twist — apple pie at Café Papeneiland, herring and kibbeling or stamppot, a 4-variety Goudse boerenkaas tasting, Surinamese roti or Indonesian chicken satay, and bitterballen paired with jenever. Plus Dutch beer, wine, coffee or tea, soda, and water.

Yes. Coffee or tea, jenever (the original gin), Dutch beer, red or white wine, soda, and water are all included.

Vegetarian-friendly — stamppot can replace herring, and we’ll plan around your needs. Vegan and gluten-free options are more limited in Dutch cuisine; share dietary restrictions when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Yes — at 6 generous stops, this is a full meal and then some. Most guests don’t eat again until late evening.
