"We had such a wonderful experience on our Withlocals tour in Amsterdam! Mayra was absolutely charming, sweet, and so knowledgeable—she made us feel right at home while guiding us through Dutch culture and cuisine. We tried so many new foods, from classic bites to local favorites, and were surprised by how much we loved the herring (something we never expected!). Every stop came with a story, and Mayra’s thoughtful explanations really gave us a deeper appreciation for the city and its traditions. This was truly a highlight of our trip, and we enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommend booking this tour with Mayra!"
"Mayra provided a great tour, avoiding touristy places and showing the real Amsterdam. She accounted for our diet limitations and gave an excellent collection of stops."

A wonderful experience in Amsterdam!
"Marten was a wonderful host with a lot of really interesting stories! We loved hearing about some history of Amsterdam and specifically about the area we were walking through. We had a great time walking around the Albert Cuyp Market sampling different food. My favorite was the warm, fresh stroopwafel, but everything we tried was delicious! In hindsight, my family would have appreciated at least one stop where we could have sat down for a bit to eat (we were with my in-laws), but that didn’t detract from the great experience we had. Thank you Marten!! "

History of Albert Cuyp Market
Did you know the Albert Cuyp Market started unofficially in 1905? It was a chaotic gathering of street vendors and carts. It became an official market in 1912 to bring order to the bustling De Pijp area.
Who was Albert Cuyp?
The market is named after Albert Cuyp, a famous Dutch Golden Age painter from the 17th century. While he painted serene landscapes, the market named in his honor is a vibrant and bustling scene of daily life.
Taste an Authentic Stroopwafel
Your visit to the Albert Cuyp Market isn't complete without tasting a fresh, warm stroopwafel! Watch as they're made right in front of you, then try to eat this gooey caramel-filled treat without making a mess.
Dare to Try Dutch Herring?
For a true Dutch experience, try 'haring'. This raw herring, served with onions and pickles, is a local delicacy. A local guide can show you the best stall to try this iconic snack at the Albert Cuyp Market.
The Culture of the Market
The Albert Cuyp Market is a cultural melting pot. Hear the typical 'Amsterdam' humor from vendors, see products from Suriname, Indonesia, and Morocco, and feel the authentic vibe of this multicultural neighborhood.

Learning from a Local Friend
"Meeting up with Marten to tour the local food market and learning about Amsterdam felt like we were meeting up with a friend. My husband and I learned all about Dutch culture and traditional foods, but we also enjoyed chatting with Marten. He was extremely knowledgeable, relatable, and caring throughout the tour. We enjoyed new dishes we would’ve never thought to try on our own and they were all surprisingly delicious. We walked the neighborhood and learned about Dutch culture and their mentality which sparked great conversation. Highly recommend scheduling a tour with Marten and don’t schedule another tour that same day so you aren’t rushed. It’s worth the time to spend with Marten. "

Toller Guide!
"Vorweg möchte ich erwähnen, dass Marten ein netter, sympathischer Tourguide ist und viel Wissen weiter vermittelt.
Die Foodtour führte kurz durch ein Stadtviertel und fand vorwegs auf einem Markt statt. Die Auswahl an Verkostungen war jedoch recht mager - von Fisch zu Süßem und dann wieder Fisch, Süßes und zum Abschluss Käse - und wenig abwechslungsreich. Was auf jeden Fall fehlte waren Getränke während dieser 2stüngigen Tour! Mussten wir uns selbst besorgen.
Als Resumee: für diesen Preis hätte ich mir mehr Auswahl und Getränke erwartet. "
"This tour was really a great way to experience the local flavors of Amsterdam.
Our guide, Marten, was wonderful! The places he took us to were diverse and delicious. He was extremely knowledgeable about the culture and history.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I would recommend this to any foody looking to experience the tastes of Amsterdam.
Bravo!👏"

Great experience with Sebastian
"We had an incredible food tour with our guide, Sebastian, in Amsterdam! He was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the city and its food culture. Sebastian answered all our questions and shared fascinating insights into both traditional Dutch cuisine and the diverse culinary influences from the countries where the Netherlands had colonies.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Amsterdam's food scene for the first time. It’s a perfect blend of local flavors and international dishes, making it a truly memorable journey for food lovers!"
