Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for your group only.
Yes, genuinely.
A borrel is a real, everyday Dutch drinks gathering - at home, in a pub, or after work - almost always paired with bitterballen, deep-fried savory ragout snacks whose pairing with drinks is distinctive enough to be on the Netherlands' own list of intangible cultural heritage.

About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, real 3-hour walking food tastings, plus a genuine 1-hour covered heated boat cruise. This is a private tour for your group only. Real food tastings through the 9 Little Streets and Jordaan are followed by a genuine 1-hour covered, heated boat cruise.

No visit to a real Dutch borrel (drinks gathering) is complete without bitterballen, and this food tour's tastings genuinely draw on that culture. Bitterballen are crisp, deep-fried balls of savory ragout, and their history is surprisingly tangled: one popular account traces the technique back to Spanish culinary influence during the Eighty Years' War in the late 1500s, when Spanish troops stationed in the Netherlands reportedly adapted local ragout by rolling it in breadcrumbs and frying it. The name itself comes from 'bittertje,' a strong 17th-century Dutch herbal spirit like jenever that bitterballen were traditionally served alongside. The Dutch drinks-and-snack pairing is distinctive enough that it's now recognized on the Netherlands' own list of intangible cultural heritage.

The real walking portion runs through the genuine 9 Little Streets (De Negen Straatjes) and the Jordaan - two connected but distinct real neighborhoods. The 9 Little Streets sit between the Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht canals, a compact grid of 17th-century streets that grew into a boutique shopping district and was only officially recognized as its own Amsterdam district in 1997; several of its street names are a direct legacy of the old leather-tanning trade once based there.

The genuine 1-hour covered, heated boat cruise closes the tour on Amsterdam's real 17th-century canal ring - the Grachtengordel - which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010, recognized as one of the best-preserved large-scale urban planning projects from the Renaissance era anywhere in the world. Being covered and heated means the real canal views hold up regardless of the Netherlands' genuinely unpredictable weather.
