Your Own Amsterdam: Private Walking Food Tour in Amsterdam
Joined 2023
National cuisine is perhaps the most exciting way to get to know a country. And definitely the most honest. Why herring has become the most famous national dish? Why smoked eel has caused riots? How can you change the world for the better with chocolate or beer? How not to get lost in the abundance of cheeses and choose the best? Why oysters became a joy for mushroom pickers? All this - and much more - we will not only discuss, but we will also taste it!

Half-Day Private Guided Sightseeing Tour of Zaanse Schans
“Beautiful Day at Zaanse Schans”
We were lucky to have sunshine on the day we visited Zaanse Schans. Our guide Marie's smile is as bright as the sunshine. She is patient and caring, sharing with us stories of the windmills and brought us to the cheese and chocolate places. The drinks at the cafe are lovely. We also enjoyed the special area she showed us at Amsterdam Ctrl Train Station.

Half-Day Private Guided Sightseeing Tour of Zaanse Schans
As if descended from pastoral postcards, it is shrouded in the smells of freshly mowed grass, spices and chocolate! But can you imagine that the mills are still working and making a profit? And have their own language? And that some millers have science degrees? And why do ghosts live in some of the mills? Find out! We'll also take a look at how people live in the Dutch province, taste cheeses, waffles, chocolate beer, turn into anise liqueur fans and enjoy every minute of this amazing day!
Your Own Holland. Keukenhof's Tulip Paradise
Just like any miracle, Keukenhof is a wonderful and short-lived fairy tale. But one walk through this blooming Edem is enough to evoke images of a madly blooming paradise garden for years to come. We will pick you up from your hotel in Amsterdam. Along the way, you'll make a few stops at blooming fields, with the opportunity to visit a tulip farm. Finally, you'll reach the splendid destination - the Keukenhof! We'll buy your park tickets in advance, so you don't have to wait in queues.
Your Own Amsterdam. Unexpected Treasures of the City
We have put together all the main symbols of Amsterdam. But not only,since the route along the gorgeous facades and monuments is not the one that conveys the atmosphere of the city. To us, the humpback little bridges, cozy courtyards, friendly people enjoying a glass of good wine, cutely named mysterious hidden chapels and beautiful book markets are what will definitely give you the best impression of the city! This city's atmosphere is full of joy and happiness, just like our tour!
