We love food tours and have taken at least a half a dozen. They are great ways to learn about your destination, its culture, and its food. We did this wonderful tour in Amsterdam that ranks among the top! It lasted four hours, included a boat tour, and involved walking at least 1.5 miles, but it was sublime. Our guide was Togla and if your tour does not have him as your guide, considering cancelling. This tall, dark, handsome, witty, knowledgeable man was superb! He was low key, but gave us a history of Amsterdam and the foods we tried. We sampled apple pie, herring, cheeses, Dutch classics, and fusion versions of Indonesian and Suriname cuisines. We had wines, beers, even water if you wanted it. The hour-long boat ride was especially fun! Skip the touristy boat tours and do this one with your small food group and your fantastic guide!
