About this experience
National cuisine is perhaps the most exciting way to get to know a country. And definitely the most honest. Here, no one will throw dust in your eyes with grand avenues and museums intended for admiration.
In fact, what we eat and drink reflects history, traditions, and national character. So this tour is not only damn delicious, but also incredibly exciting, rich, and fun. We would like to offer you to 'taste' the Dutch culture.
This tour does not have an exact route, so we are absolutely flexible to customize it. However, there are some interesting tastings we would like to offer to you!
We recommend this tour to everyone who has no dietary restrictions. Let us know please if you do have them. We will definitely find a chance to offer you something else not less exciting and delicious.
