Our exclusive Food and Canals Tour in Amsterdam offers the perfect solution for intimate company outings and team-building events, allowing your group to savor authentic cuisine while taking in historical sights and famous landmarks. 

Embark on a food tour while viewing the city from Amsterdam’s world heritage canals aboard an antique wooden boat. This unique travel method combined with typical Dutch delicacies makes this tour an excellent choice to impress your VIP guests. Groups will enjoy the Jordaan District’s delights, including a real Jordaan cafe in a converted canal house, sampling dishes from gouda cheese and bitterballen to Amsterdam’s finest smoked sausage. Experience Dutch hospitality at its best, taste herring the Amsterdam way, and try the vast variety of traditional Dutch candies, desserts, and pastries. Enjoy the array of flavors with bubbles and beer! 

Our 4-hour Food and Canals Tour will create a memorable experience for your corporate incentive trip or company reward day. It includes a guided walk through the unique and historical sights of the Jordaan neighborhood, followed by a private one-hour boat trip through Amsterdam’s famous canals. The focus will be on food, featuring a dozen delicious Dutch tastings from various authentic food stops along the way!

The Jordaan is one of Amsterdam’s most historic neighborhoods. Your guided tour will explain the District’s history, including interesting facts like why Cafe Papeneiland has been in business for nearly 400 years! See where Anne Frank famously lived during World War II, find hidden churches, and discover what the Jordaan area housed hundreds of years ago. There is also an interactive aspect to the tour, taking your groups behind the scenes to meet the families who keep Dutch food traditions alive. 

Our food tour is an ideal option for an exclusive company outing or organized VIP trip, combining historic sights with traditional food. We offer this original tour, full of flavor, as an unforgettable experience to wow your intimate groups, adding a fun and insightful element to corporate hospitality in Amsterdam.
