Albert Cuyp & De Pijp Food Tour: A Taste of Amsterdam in Amsterdam - AdobeStock_969058958.jpg

Amsterdam is famous for its vibrant street food culture — and now you can get a real local taste of it in one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods. But do you know why food plays such a central role in everyday Amsterdam life? Forget the clichés and tourist traps; this tour offers a deep dive into the flavors, stories, and community traditions that make Albert Cuyp Market and De Pijp so special.

Discover how food has helped shape the multicultural identity of Amsterdam, as your local host introduces you to the customs and personal stories behind dishes like freshly fried kibbeling, creamy local cheeses, or warm poffertjes dusted with sugar. You won’t just eat — you’ll connect with the history and cultural significance behind every bite.

To fully embrace the connection between food and place, your guide will take you beyond the market stalls into the heart of De Pijp, a buzzing district full of character, hidden gems, and rich immigrant heritage. The experience wraps up with a peaceful stroll or rest in Sarphatipark, a neighborhood oasis and favorite local hangout, giving you a moment to reflect and digest — both your food and what you’ve learned.

All local hosts are passionate storytellers, each bringing their own flavor — whether rooted in food, family heritage, or Amsterdam’s creative lifestyle. Want to tweak the itinerary or spend more time on a particular dish or stop? Your host will gladly tailor the experience so you leave feeling like you’ve discovered your Amsterdam.
