Overview

Experience the best of Amsterdam through its food, canals, and culture on this immersive Amsterdam Food Tour. Taste Dutch classics and reinventions, Surinamese street food, and artisanal cheeses — all while exploring the city’s most charming neighborhoods and iconic waterways.

This is a Sherpa Food Tour, part of our global collection of High-Fidelity Local Experiences for curious travelers and passionate food lovers.

You’ll start with bold Surinamese flavors, enjoy creamy veal croquettes, and stop at a trendy brown café where classics meet new wave. Walk the iconic canals, explore the Jordaan, and hear how migration and trade shaped one of the world’s most multicultural food scenes.

You’ll sample a Dutch cheese tasting, enjoy modern comfort food, and end with dessert and jenever — a spirited goodbye shared with fellow food lovers.

This isn’t just a food tour — it’s a cultural deep dive into the heart of the Netherlands. Join us and leave full, inspired, and just a little bit tipsy.
