Amsterdam Beer Tour
The Amsterdam Beer Tour from Urban Adventures takes tour groups to the city’s breweries, bars and beer halls. This is a walking tour through the city’s quaint streets and the stopovers include the original Heineken building, locations of historic interest such as the spot where beer was brewed in the 16th century, and an optional detour to a brewery located in an infamous area of the city. The beer adventure ends with a visit to the city’s local beer hall that is home to over two-hundred different beer varieties. Those who are part of the tour can sample three beers and a Dutch bar snack. Tour-goers get the opportunity to savor stout, ale and lager as well.

The length of the tour is about 3-4 hours.
Culinary Amsterdam tour
Amsterdam Urban Adventures’ Culinary tour is a culinary experience for foodies and culture vultures looking to relish the local gastronomic fare. The tour takes travelers through the city streets and has different stopovers where the local delights can be relished. These include the city’s well-known cheese shop, where the tour group can sample smoky Gouda and salty Edam cheese, and the VOC heritage spice house where tour-goers can learn about the history of spice trade in Amsterdam. A visit to a 17th century distillery offering the opportunity to sample local drinks and spirits, marks the end of the afternoon tour.

The tour is open to travelers aged twelve and above.
Home Cooked Amsterdam
Home Cooked Amsterdam is a unique opportunity to relish delicious meals cooked by Amsterdam’s student chefs.
