A taste of the Jordaan! An exclusive food tour through the most iconic Amsterdam city center district.

Rob was a wonderful guide. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the meeting place and took us on a wonderful journey of exploring the great food and drinks of the Joordan area of Amsterdam. We started with coffee at a special place that roasts their own beans and then headed out into the colorful streets of Joordan. Rob told us of the rich history of Amsterdam and showed us several points of interest. We sampled some delicious cheeses (and bought some to take home), had an amazing fresh seafood lunch where we selected the fish and shrimp and oysters we wanted and they cooked those very items for us which we enjoyed with a nice glass of French Sauvignon Blanc. Afterwards, e walked to a pub where we enjoyed arguably the best apple pie I’ve ever had, covered in fresh whipped cream. Afterwards, we went and saw where Rembrandt once lived and continued on to an old pub built in the 1600’s that he very likely frequented, just across from the home of Anne Frank. There we enjoyed a glass of beer and some bitterballen, a tasty Dutch treat. We finished our tour at another pub where e sampled a flight of gin, which originated in Holland way back when. It was delicious with floral notes and some even tasted a bit like scotch whiskey. Rob said someone once entered Dutch gin in a blind tasting of scotch whiskey and it won! All in all, the day with Rob was fantastic. We not only learned a lot about Amsterdam, we made a new friend. Needless to say, We HIGHLY recommend Rob as a tour guide. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time with Rob spending over 6 hours walking the streets at Amsterdam and seeing sites that we found fascinating. We ate, we drank, we had good conversation and by the time the visit was over we felt that we were part of Rob's family. He was in no hurry to leave and made sure that we enjoyed ourselves from the moment we met him to the moment we parted. Highly recommended.

Great tour! Our family really enjoyed our afternoon with Rob.

What an amazing introduction to Amsterdam! Rob was a knowledgeable guide, pointing out interesting details of our surroundings as we walked, far beyond what you might expect on a food tour. The food itself was wonderful- well selected, in places only a local would have chosen. I have been on food tours which were "cheese on a toothpick" experiences, but this was more like sit down in a cafe or a bar and enjoy the best of Amsterdam with a friendly and informative companion. You will love it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Rob. His planning and research were meticulous, and the tour was informative and well-paced. We bonded over love of food and wine, and enjoyed many laughs about the differences and similarities between Dutch and American culturea. He is a student of both, and was lovely company over the day. After the tour Rob promptly followed up with helpful suggestions about additional things to see in Amsterdam. Highly recommend spending a day with him!

Rob was great! He was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and interesting. He handled every detail of this great food tour for us. We got to experience Amsterdam in a unique, varied, and yummy way. I would highly recommend!
