Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the 10 Tastings of Amsterdam tour, and Elise truly made it unforgettable. From the very beginning, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly friendly, instantly putting everyone at ease. Her knowledge of Amsterdam and Dutch culture added so much depth to the experience, turning each tasting stop into a fascinating story. The food throughout the tour was delicious, and we especially appreciated how relaxed and enjoyable the pace felt—never rushed, always engaging. Elise struck the perfect balance between being informative and fun, making the entire experience feel personal and memorable. This tour is a fantastic way to explore the city through its flavors, and we couldn’t recommend Elise more highly! Beth & Todd Bowman"
"We had a wonderful experience with Mayra! We learned so much about Amsterdam and tried a variety of tasty eats. Mayra was knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful, and she adjusted the tour to our preferences. We appreciated her recommendations for what to see/do with the remainder of our stay and we were able to make the most of our short visit! We would definitely book a tour with Mayra again in the future."
"Arun gave my family a great introduction to food in Amsterdam. He was even able to accommodate my need to eat gluten free - taking us to some different places that had gluten free offerings. Seeing the Dutch colonization through food was really interesting. We loved it all - including the herring! My daughter really loved the Gouda cheese plate & the fresh stroopwafel. Highly recommend!"
"A varied group of my friends and I joined Marten for a Tasting Tour. He was a wonderful communicator both beforehand and during the tour. As we had some who needed a little extra “sitting down time”, Marten adapted the tour as we went. So appreciated the extra consideration! As for the tour, it was a really fun combination of tastes as well as some history, Dutch points of view that changed our perspective and tips on other places to see. He is very personable, chatty and really makes an effort to make your tour just what you want. "
"Our food tour with Marten was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam! From the moment we met him, he made us feel less like tourists and more like family. He has an incredible knowledge of Amsterdam’s history, culture, and food scene, and he shared it in such a fun, engaging, and personable way. The food selections were outstanding—every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and gave us a genuine taste of the city. Dutch apple pie and poffertjes were just some of the highlights for our family of 5! Marten’s passion for Amsterdam is contagious, and his warm personality made the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely fun to spend time with, Marten is the perfect choice. We left feeling like we had spent the afternoon with a local friend while enjoying some of the best food Amsterdam has to offer. Found us the true local gems not the tourist traps which was invaluable, Highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful afternoon experience with Arun. He graciously met us on time near our ship. He took us to lovely local eating establishments. The selection was interesting and delicious. We even tried some herring! He was knowledgeable and courteous. We highly recommend him."
"We had a terrific afternoon with Marten. He is engaging, enthusiastic, very personable, and fun to be with. The tastings were all delicious, and each one had a story about Amsterdam history or culture to go with it. Marten is a delightful guide: very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. The neighborhood we explored together had so many hidden gems and told both a historic and a modern story about Amsterdam's food culture and the way people live. I highly recommend Marten!"
"Marten was a lovely host for our taste of Amsterdam food tour. Very knowledgeable and accommodating to our interests and taste-buds! We had a wonderful time! "
"Arun did a great job showing us the tastes of Amsterdam, and really provided a lot of fun history about the food, the country, and a whole lot of other stuff. My friend and I had an amazing time."
"We had a fantastic experience exploring Amsterdam through this food and local tour! It was the perfect combination of delicious food, beautiful sights, and fascinating local stories. Olga was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations. We discovered some wonderful local food and learned about Amsterdam’s culture, history, and neighborhoods along the way. The food stops were varied and delicious, and it was great to experience places that we might not have found on our own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam who wants to experience authentic local food, culture, and the city’s unique atmosphere."

Discover the vibrant heart of Amsterdam with our De Pijp private tours. Explore its rich history, diverse culture, bustling markets, and artistic legacy with a local guide. Uncover hidden gems and experience De Pijp like a true Amsterdammer.
De Pijp's history traces back to the 16th century as a rural area. Rapid urbanization in the late 19th century transformed it into a working-class neighborhood, known for its narrow streets and dense housing. Today, it retains a charming village-like atmosphere amidst its bustling city life.
De Pijp is a melting pot of cultures, evident in its diverse culinary scene and vibrant street art. From Indonesian rijsttafel to Surinamese roti, the neighborhood offers a global gastronomic experience. Its walls are adorned with colorful murals reflecting its artistic spirit, making every corner a visual delight.
Experience the local life in De Pijp by visiting the Albert Cuypmarkt, a bustling outdoor market brimming with fresh produce, flowers, clothing, and street food. Enjoy a 'biertje' (beer) at a traditional 'brown café' and soak in the lively atmosphere, or grab a 'broodje haring' (herring sandwich) for a true taste of Amsterdam.
Piet Mondrian, the renowned Dutch painter and pioneer of abstract art, once resided in De Pijp. His former studio, now the Mondrian House museum, offers a glimpse into his artistic journey and the neighborhood's influence on his work.
