Amsterdam Culinary Snack Bike Tour

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Experience Amsterdam's culinary delights using the city's easiest and most fun mode of transport -  a bicycle! Escorted by an experienced guide, you'll glide through the beautiful medieval town center of Amsterdam and visit authentically Dutch places to eat and drink, sampling local treats that most tourists never get to try.

Taste a typical Amsterdam 'bitterbal' (a meatball snack). Take a delicious bite of a Dutch 'augurk' (gherkin). And, of course, try an Old Dutch cheese with a 'harinkie' (herring). Combine these treats with a Boswandeling cocktail or Jonge Jenever (Dutch gin) in several of the oldest cafes in Amsterdam, and you'll soon be an expert!

Our guide was fabulous. We went to a lot of different places. Ate so much cheese we almost burst. I think they should not take you to the chocolate shop unless they start giving out samples there. All the other stops we actually got to try the food.

Very educational AND fun. We pretty much biked around the entire city in 3 hours. Tried lots of different foods. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

This was fantastic, really brilliant fun, our guide was a nice guy, only drawback was the weather, it rained most of the time but the snacks and traffic dodging made up for it. Highly recommend it.

On arrival we were told to come back a half an hour later, we never found out why._br/_ We were a party of six, two of the bikes were ok the rest were pretty ropey, noisey brakes etc._br/_ The guide rode off and left us behind in the first two minutes as some of our group were getting accustomed to the bikes. The guide had a rather cavalier approach to the safety and enjoyment of our group. _br/_ The "culinary" part of the tour we found, to put it mildly, dissapointing. Fries from a belgian chip shop, a serving of herring, some strange croquettes from a vending machine, two slices of cake between six and some cheese samples in a cheese shop where anyone off of the street can sample their wares without having forked out to be on the tour._br/_ Overall a real let down and a rip off.

Fantastic experience & very informative. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on this particular tour, so very much had the 'personal' touch!! Just note that the Nun's Brewery is not open on a Monday. Thoroughly recommended though.

Our tour guide was from the states and was excited to take us on the tour. He was fantastic!!!! It included local chocolate shops and cheese shops that were more than I could have dreamed. We even asked him to stay with us longer so we could get more info from him! What a great time! I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn the history of Amsterdam! Thank you Viator!

i loved this bicycle tour. they took us to spots we never would have found. my only complaint is that our group was a bit large....i felt i was intruding on some of the smaller places. overall it was wonderful and i would definitely recommend it.

Had a great time. Guide was excellent, friendly, fun & amusing. Trip route took us around the city & even out of it a little. Mixture of visiting famous culinary shopsstores cheese, sausages etc & other more down to earth places, market stalls, sandwich shops & pubsbars. Thoroughly enjoyable tour & would gladly recommend it to any one looking to see a little more of Amsterdam than the more obvious tourist traps.

A wonderful way to acclimate yourself to the city and get some exercise. I wish the bikes were in better shape. On one, the hand brakes didn't work and the pedal brakes were very shoddy. The guide was great in telling us things and showing us little off the beaten track places, as well as getting us to all the museums and sights. The following week was easy after this. The 3 hours we spent on the bikes was fun except for the condition of the bikes.

Great guide, fun, knowledgeable. Should not be labeled a culinary snack tour as the culinary part was not there. Would do it again because of our guide. Saw parts of the city I wouldn't have any other way.
