"Sebastian is such an amazing guide! He introduced us to so many different foods from all different cultures of the people living in Amsterdam. We tried some delicious foods that we would have never eaten on our own. Sebastian did an excellent job with tying in our tastings with the history of the cultures that created each dish. We left our tour with our stomachs full, our minds broadened, and our hearts happy. "
"While the food portion of the tour was great, it was Sebastian’s knowledge of history and politics (governments, et al.) that put the food we ate into perspective. His knowledge and insight (and patience) made it one of the best tours. Merci beaucoup!"
"Wir durften heute die Tour mit Sebastian genießen. Neben viel Wissenswertem über Land und Leute haben wir einen kleinen Einblick in die holländische Kulinarik erlebt. Es war sehr interessant und lecker. Wir können die Tour mit Sebastian nur weiterempfehlen."

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.
Shop Like a Local Amsterdammer
For Amsterdammers, this isn't just a tourist spot. It's where they buy fresh vegetables, cheese, fish, and flowers. See how locals live and shop by exploring the Albert Cuyp Market away from the main crowds.
