Amsterdam's history, told through what it eats

Ten tastings in three hours, from poffertjes and chicken satay to raw herring, kibbeling, bitterballen and a warm stroopwafel, each with a local drink (herbal bitter, beer, wine or jenever) and a story.

The walk covers the canal ring, hidden courtyards and the Jordaan, so you learn the neighbourhoods too. Groups are small.

A shorter two-hour, six-taste version exists; the full tour is the better one.
