Description:

Discover the traditional culinary delicacies of Amsterdam as you explore its city center with your knowledgeable guide. Enjoy a visit to an artisan cheese shop, satisfy your sweet tooth at a local pancake house, and wash it all down with liqueurs at an esteemed distillery.

Begin your gastronomic outing in one of Amsterdam's oldest squares, the Spui, one of the most visited cultural centers in the city. Here, your guide explains the Dutch love affair with humble frites. Try for yourself some of these hot, salty snacks, which differ from classic French fries thanks mostly to the great variety of toppings served.

As you walk with your group, notice the number of fish stands that line the streets, offering fresh herring. Snack on several of these delightful bites to understand why the stands exist on almost every street corner of the city center.

Then continue with an introduction to all things cheese. Gouda, in particular, is a national favorite. Learn more about its ageing process and savor its sweet flavor and creamy texture. There are plenty of opportunities to satisfy your hunger pangs on this tour, with sweet pancakes at a local pancake house and a stop at a local market.

Your tour concludes at a 17th-century distillery, where you can round off your experience with a wide variety of delectable liqueurs.
