About this experience
For cheese lovers, this tour is the perfect way to enjoy Amsterdam. Begin with a 2.5-hour walking tour through the historic streets of the city center, guided by an expert who reveals how a small muddy village on the Amstel grew into Europe’s leading trading hub. Along the way, hear captivating stories about prostitution, drug decriminalization, and the city’s darkest chapters during the Nazi occupation. The experience continues with a 1-hour cheese tasting at the prestigious Old Amsterdam shop, where you’ll sample five varieties of Gouda paired with carefully selected wines. This gastronomic experience blends history, tradition, and flavor in one of the city’s most iconic cheese locations. We always aim to schedule the tasting at 1:30 pm, but in some cases, it may take place later. Afterward, enjoy free time to keep exploring, visit world-class museums, stroll Jordaan, or relax in a canal-side café.

Great Tour, No Cheese😞
Karl our tour guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and funny. That made it interesting. We were disappointed because the cheese tasting portion was canceled. That was the main reason we had booked the tour. That is also the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
Response from the operator: Hello Joanna, Thank you very much for your review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed Karl’s excellent and entertaining company, and we’d like to clarify that the cancellation of the wine tasting was an exceptional circumstance entirely beyond our control. We hope you have a wonderful trip!

We had an incredible...
We had an incredible walking tour in Amsterdam with Claire! She was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the city that brought its history and culture to life. Claire also went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for our family—she was so thoughtful and accommodating with our baby, which made the whole tour stress-free and fun. On top of that, her great sense of humor kept us laughing and engaged the entire time. Highly recommend booking a tour with Claire—you’ll leave with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Amsterdam!
Response from the operator: Hi, We’re so happy to hear Claire made your walking tour both insightful and enjoyable. It’s wonderful that her thoughtfulness and humor added to your family’s experience. Thank you for recommending us and for letting us be part of your memories in Amsterdam!

Great day getting to know Amsterdam
Our guide, Rafael, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam. Since our cheese tasting time could not be accommodated we were given the choice of a canal cruise with wine and cheese, which we did. The canal cruise was great. We really enjoyed it. Unlimited wine and cheese and a friendly knowledgeable crew. Great day getting to know Amsterdam.
Response from the operator: Hello Beverly! Thank you for trusting us, we loved having you on our tour. We hope to welcome you on one of our tours again in the future. Best regards.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 3.1 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 Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting?
+
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 Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting?
+
Around 2 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 3.1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting 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.
