About this experience
Be among the locals and get a better understanding of the Dutch. Go on a small adventure, tasting new things you didn’t know excited. Challenge yourself. Meet new friends. This is the low-key way to discover a new city during a chill afternoon, exploring sights, finding cute, tucked away places meeting locals and get some knowledge about the city and her cuisine. One thing is for sure: you don’t need any more food the rest of your day.
So what are we going to do?
Me or another enthusiastic, food loving tour guide will take you and the rest of the group on a three hour food journey through the city. We will walk and eat some of the food inside and eat others on the go. You can buy optional drinks at the restaurants we’re going to (drinks are not included!). During the tour you’ll receive some fun facts about Rotterdam and the history of it’s food, but don’t expect a 3 hour history lesson from us. We talk, have fun, eat and drink. Eat with you soon!
