Eat your way through lovely canals
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 dishes in hidden areas 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 go, exploring migration, culture, and taste through everyday 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 ring, where Amsterdam’s beauty reveals in full.
We’ll snack on golden croquettes, taste award-winning farmhouse cheeses, lounge in an iconic brown cafe and end in the charming Jordaan with a hearty Dutch finale: stamppot and spiced sweets. 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.
