Overview

Think you can become Dutch in 7 challenges?
Eat herring like a local, toast jenever without your hands, decode canal houses, survive a Dutch birthday, and learn what gezellig really means. This isn’t a dry history tour or a heavy food crawl — it’s a fast-paced, story-filled cultural adventure led by a local expert who brings Amsterdam to life through laughter, tastings, and the Dutch quirks no guidebook explains.

You’ll leave with a deeper connection to the city, a belly full of bites, and a few stories your friends won’t believe.

Activity itinerary

The Poolbar

Poolbar Amsterdam – A True Dutch Borrel Begin your experience at a cosy local café with a traditional borrel: a sip of local draft beer, a tasting of jenever (Dutch juniper spirit), and freshly made bitterballen. Meet your guide, play the vintage Dutch game sjoelen, and learn your first Dutch word: gezellig. Challenge: Say “echt gezellig” and mean it.

Herring Stall Jonk

Fishmonger Stop – Herring Like a Local Visit a family-run fish shop and taste Hollandse Nieuwe, the raw herring that fuelled Dutch trade. Learn the proper technique and the surprising history behind it. Challenge: Eat it with onions, head tilted back like a local.

Cheese & More Flower Market

Henri Willig Cheese – The Great Gouda Challenge Discover how Dutch cheese is made—from cow to cellar. Blind-taste 10 different cheeses (young, aged, spicy, and more) and try to guess what’s what. Challenge: Pronounce “Gouda” like a Dutchie and win the quiz.

Flower Market

Floating Flower Market – Tulips, Trade & Tourist Myths Stroll through the world’s only floating flower market and discover how tulips once triggered the world’s first financial bubble. Learn why the Dutch still celebrate flowers—not just as beauty, but as a symbol of global trade, wealth, and identity. Your guide will also bust a few myths (hint: real locals don’t buy tulip bulbs here). Challenge: Guess where tulips are really from...

Peppernuts Amsterdam

Canal House Basement – Sinterklaas & Spiced Cookies In a cosy, cinnamon-scented basement, discover the Dutch legend of Sinterklaas—poems, songs, and cookie-throwing included. Learn how he differs from Santa and why he still arrives by steamboat. Challenge: Catch a flying pepernoot (and taste three flavours).

Duke Of Tokyo

Amsterdam’s Gay District – Pride, Progress & the Rainbow Trail Stroll through the historic heart of Amsterdam’s LGBTQ+ scene—where quiet progress led to a global first: legal same-sex marriage in 2001. Hear how the Dutch blend activism with pragmatism, and how this area became a symbol of inclusion. Challenge: Spot a very attractive artwork...

Dampkring Coffeeshop

Outside Dampkring – Brad Pitt, Cannabis & Dutch Tolerance Outside the famous Dampkring coffeeshop—where Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon once lit up—you’ll explore gedogen, the Dutch policy of tolerating what technically isn’t legal. No, we don’t go in or use cannabis—but this stop reveals how the Dutch manage contradictions with calm and common sense. Challenge: Guess what’s actually legal (spoiler: not the weed).

Canals of Amsterdam

UNESCO Canals – A Quiz with a View Pause along Amsterdam’s iconic 17th-century canals—now a UNESCO World Heritage site—and discover how water shaped the city’s wealth, identity, and chaos. Your guide will test you with playful questions: How many bikes fall in? How many bridges? How many drunk swimmers? Challenge: Get the answers right, win a Dutch cookie. Bragging rights included.

Happy Bookieman

Hidden Hippie House – The Amsterdam Time Forgot Slip into a tiny alley most tourists miss and find the last real hippie house of Amsterdam—still lived in, still wild, still wonderfully weird. Covered in plants, murals, and peace signs, it’s a living relic of Amsterdam’s squatters’ movement and free-spirited past. Challenge: Spot the secret message hidden in the window or wall.

Heertje Friet

Heertje Friet – Fries, Mayonnaise & Dutch Pride Taste the crunchiest, golden fries in Amsterdam at a boutique fry shop that takes its potatoes seriously. You’ll learn why fries are a Dutch obsession—and why we unapologetically drown them in mayo. (Yes, just like in Pulp Fiction.) Sample funky sauces and discover which topping pairs best with your inner Dutch self. Challenge: Choose your favourite and go all-in—no ketchup allowed.

Hans Egstorf

Stroopwafel Finale – A 200-Year-Old Treat End your adventure on a sweet note at Amsterdam’s oldest bakery. Watch how traditional stroopwafels—thin waffle cookies filled with warm syrup—are made the old-fashioned way. Learn the proper way to eat them (hint: it involves your coffee cup), and taste one fresh off the iron. Challenge: Get it warm and gooey without cracking it.
