About this experience
Delicious food tour including 6 local dutch dishes and local stories!
Hi, my name is Lucas and i'll be your food guide in Utrecht!
I am a local from Utrecht who has been doing tours for many years.
Are you a food lover, culinair expert, or just hungry? Then join us!
You will get to see how our traditional dutch cookie is freshly made and how a dish called 'poffertjes' (tiny pancakes) is made.
Next to that, you also get to try out a dutch snack wall and i will challenge you to eat a pastry that you can not eat without making a mess. Even we dutchies struggle with it, but don't worry, i'm bringing napkens :)
At last, if you are not filled up yet, you will get to try a dutch party snack.
Next to all the yummy food, i will also tell you some stories about Utrecht and the places we visit. So you get food and stories in one tour!
