Celine was a lovely and...
Celine was a lovely and knowledgeable guide. We had 7 food stops: cheese (3 kinds), fish (kibbling which is fried fish, I even was brave and tried the pickled herring, it wasn't bad), meat, chicken curry sandwich, poffertjes (mini pancakes, loved these), a licorice flavored liquor, and finally stroopwaffles. We all enjoyed the variety and the mingling with the locals. Great tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the variety of stops with Celine, especially the mix of local flavors like cheese, kibbeling, poffertjes, stroopwafels, and more. It sounds like a full taste of Amsterdam! We’d also love to welcome you in another city. Just search on Viator: “City + Food Tour in Hidden Gems” and you’ll find us in Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Krakow, Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, Mexico City, Cuenca, Quito, and Prague.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups)?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
