Your Own Amsterdam: Private Walking Food Tour in Amsterdam
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.
