We were traveling with Jelte. It was a lot of fun and the food stops were great. Everything tasted great and we got to know a lot about the country, city, people and customs of Amsterdam. Jelte was able to answer all of our questions and it was a varied tour. Thanks very much!

Most delicious afternoon in Amsterdam!

Marjolein was excellent and the food was exquisite! Our family of 5 (3 teenage daughters) thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Marjolein. She was delightful company! The tour was extremely informative and interesting. The food at each stop was so good. The girls ate and enjoyed everything except maybe the vodka. Marjolein also gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation. Thank you so much. This tour was well worth the time and expense!

Best tour ever

This tour was amazing. The main reason for it was the tour guide, Estiphan (sp??) . His experience level with food made him extremely qualified for the job. He had a great sense of humor, introduced to much more about the culture and history than I expected while we were sampling the food in each establishment. The selection of family owned businesses was great as well. We were treated with respect and hospitality at each location. Can't say enough about it.
