Grand Dutch Food and Amsterdam History Tour for max. 9 guests
Amsterdam, Aruba
The Grand Dutch Food Tour is a comprehensive, fun, and diverse food tour that provides an in-depth look at Dutch cuisine and history.
What makes the tour unique is the diversity of different places you’ll visit. For example, you’ll enjoy homemade Dutch apple pie in a typical 'brown cafe,’ visit a fantastic cheese store that ripens its own cheeses in an old bunker, and will end in the former 17th century headquarters of the Dutch West India Company. Here, the decision was made to found New Amsterdam…later known as New York.
We will lead you through the Jordaan area, which was built in the early 17th century to house the many workers and immigrants who came from all over Europe to seek their fortune in booming Amsterdam and today is perhaps the most popular neighborhood among Amsterdammers themselves. Also we will show you the world-famous Amsterdam canals and canal houses where the rich merchants of the Golden Age lived and stored their merchandise from all over the world.
