Meet Shaun

Shaun is a local Amsterdam food tour guide with a deep passion for Dutch cuisine, history, and cultural storytelling. He believes the best way to experience Amsterdam is through its food, where history, tradition, and everyday life come together. On his Amsterdam walking food tour, Shaun creates a “walking dinner table” experience, guiding guests through historic neighborhoods while tasting classic Dutch dishes at carefully chosen local eateries. Amsterdam is home to more than 100 nationalities, and Shaun brings this multicultural influence to life by explaining how global flavors shaped the city’s culinary identity. Each stop on the tour features trusted local institutions Shaun personally frequents, paired with stories about the origins of the dishes and their place in Dutch food culture. This immersive Amsterdam food tour is ideal for travelers looking for an authentic, history-rich, and delicious way to explore the city on foot.

What to expect

Food tour: (2-12 guests) Discover the best food in Amsterdam on this 2-hour private walking food tour led by Shaun, a local food and history expert. Explore the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood and the famous Albert Cuyp Market while visiting 8 carefully selected food stops loved by locals. Along the way, taste a diverse mix of Amsterdam’s iconic flavors, from sweet stroopwafels to global influences that define the city’s cuisine. Sample dishes such as an Indonesian-style sandwich, a Surinamese bao bun, seasonal Dutch fried specialties like kibbaling (fried cod), and other beloved local bites. Indulge in 15–20 distinct tastings, offering an exciting variety of flavors from sweet to savory. Come hungry - you certainly won’t be by the end of this authentic Amsterdam food tour. Midway through the tour, enjoy a coffee stop to relax and chat as Shaun shares stories behind each dish and neighborhood.

After the tour, Shaun provides a curated list of local recommendations, from jazz clubs and cozy bars to family-friendly restaurants, so you can continue exploring Amsterdam like a local. Vegetarians are welcome and dietary needs can often be accommodated with advance notice. However, as tastings are prepared by independent food vendors, Shaun cannot guarantee a fully gluten-free experience for guests with severe allergies. Perfect for travelers searching for an authentic, intimate way to taste the best food Amsterdam has to offer while learning about the city’s multicultural culinary history.
