Description
Your guide will introduce you to family-run businesses and small locally owned and operated restaurants. You will learn about the history of the food you taste and how it's made. Join this tour to experience the "Dutch Way" of living through its food.
In Amsterdam, everywhere you walk, you will be immersed in influences of the 17th century. Your tour will mainly take place in the beautiful and still authentic Jordaan area.
Here you can see the influences of early French immigration and the reason Rembrandt decided to spend his remaining years in this wonderful enclave. Learn the stories of how Dutch food and history intersect, why cod and herring dishes are Holland’s pride and joy, indulge in French influenced pastries, and learn how maritime history has influenced Dutch winter stew.
The Jordaan area has a long history of assimilating merchants, sailors, workers, and immigrants. This open armed atmosphere combined with quaint streets and small canals has created a unique area within Amsterdam. Jordaan has been able to balance its rich cultural history with the change time brings, so visitors to this area enjoy lively bars and restaurants along with quaint smaller more traditional businesses all within the same winding streets.
