Outstanding tour guide but fell short on the food part.
Our tour guide Sabrina was awesome, she was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with, a 10 out of 10! The food part was the disappointment, the ad said 12 Dutch food tastings and 4 drinks, we got the 4 drinks but only 5 food tastings (or a total of 7 if we count each little square of cheese we tasted, the size a free sample you would get at the grocery store). We chose and paid more for this tour because it advertised 12 Dutch Food tastings, others advertised only 10, so only receiving 5 (or call it 7) not so great.

Gerard knows it all, he is the best:)
We were fortunate enough to have Gerard as our tourguide, he was extremely knowledgeable clearly has spent a long time in Amsterdam and he even gave us recommendations which we were so grateful for! It was great to learn about the history of this amazing city, we would highly recommend it for anyone who is curious about the dutch food and the history behind it. The food was plenty, each one more delicious than the one before.
Response from the operator: Thank you. I'm so glad to hear you had a wonderful time with Gerard on the Jordaan tour and enjoyed the tastings and history of wonderful Amsterdam!

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings 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 Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 2,714 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings?
+
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 Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings 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 Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings?
+
Around 950 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 Eating Amsterdam: Jordaan Food Tour with Dutch Tastings 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 Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. 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.
