Amsterdam Walking Tour and Cruise with Drinks and Cheese Tasting

2.Amsterdam Walking Tour and Cruise with Drinks and Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 30 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $71

Walk central Amsterdam with a guide such as Miguel, Claire, or Louisa, from Beursplein through the Chinese Quarter, Jewish Quarter, Begijnhof, and Dam Square. Then board a one-hour open boat near Centraal Station for canal views, unlimited drinks, and cheese tasting.

“In general, the tour and guide were both very good. The only part of the tour that we thought was not necessary was the long walk through the shopping district of Amsterdam. None of us on the tour were interested in shopping nor was there time to shop. Perhaps this was the only way back to the main canal to get on the canal tour cruise; however, it was the least interesting part of the walking tour.”

Gouda Private Walking Tour: History, Architecture & Cheese

6.Gouda Private Walking Tour: History, Architecture & Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $402

Walk through Gouda with a private English-speaking guide, from the Gothic town hall and Saint-John Church to De Goudse Waag and Markt. The tour focuses on local history, architecture, and cheese, but confirm whether cheese tasting is included, as it may now cost extra.

“I struggle with this review as it had nothing to do with tasting cheese and everything to do with the history of the town of Gouda. First, I signed up for tour to sample and taste the magnificent Gouda cheese… only to discover that the description of the tour had changed since my purchase and the sampling was no longer included, but a separate cost! The two guides that gave us the tour were extremely knowledgeable of the history of Gouda and did an amazing job of relating the information to us! Definitely well worth the tour for the knowledge. I really enjoyed the tour but it wasn’t the tour…”

Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting

7.Amsterdam Walking Tour with Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 3 hours 5 minutes (approx.) · from $58

Start at Beursplein at 10:00 for a small-group walk through Centraal Station, Zeedijk, Nieuwmarkt, Jodenbuurt, Begijnhof, and Dam Square. Guides such as Claire and Rafael bring the city’s past to life, followed by Dutch cheese and wine tasting. Spanish walking tours switch to English for the tasting.

“We had an incredible walking tour in Amsterdam with Claire! She was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights about the city that brought its history and culture to life. Claire also went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for our family—she was so thoughtful and accommodating with our baby, which made the whole tour stress-free and fun. On top of that, her great sense of humor kept us laughing and engaged the entire time. Highly recommend booking a tour with Claire—you’ll leave with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation of Amsterdam!”
