#1 BEST FOOD TOUR IN THE WORLD / 2024 WINNER
+6000 5 STAR REVIEWS
Discover the coolest streets of Amsterdam
Carefully designed by locals, this tour is part of Sherpa’s commitment to High-Fidelity Local Experiences — uncovering stories and flavors you won’t find in generic guides. It’s food, culture, and city life, served up with insight, warmth, and curiosity.
Step off the beaten path and into the kitchens, streets, and stories that shape Amsterdam’s true flavor. From vibrant Surinamese and Indonesian dishes in hidden neighborhoods to classic Dutch comfort food in a modern bistro, this tour is a deep dive into the city’s rich culinary soul.
We’ll begin where few tourists go, exploring migration, culture, and taste through everyday street food locals love. Along the way, you’ll learn to read the city like a local — through its canals, architecture, and alleyways — with a moment of awe as we cross into the iconic canal belt, where Amsterdam’s beauty reveals itself in full.
We’ll snack on golden croquettes, taste award-winning farmhouse cheeses, and end in the charming Jordaan with a hearty Dutch finale: stamppot, spiced sweets, and a shot of jenever. It’s the past and the present, the global and the local — all on one plate.
This isn’t just a food tour. It’s Amsterdam, served with depth, perspective, and connection.
