The city

The best part of Amsterdam is the walk in between.

Market stalls in de Pijp, sunlight on the canal houses, the flower market, a square full of terraces. We take the streets we walk ourselves and stop where Amsterdammers stop.

Exact stops can differ per day, depending on the market and opening hours. You always taste at least seven Dutch favourites.

When friends visit, we never take them to the tourist spots.
Why this tour

We take them to the places we go ourselves. The bakery around the corner, the café where they know our name, the market on a Saturday.

That is exactly what Food Adventures Amsterdam is. No script, no flag, no rush. Just an afternoon of Amsterdam with the people who live here.
