-Authentically local. Hosted by Adam & Eve Amsterdam Food Tours, a boutique company with 3,000+ 5-star reviews and 100% Amsterdam-based guides.

-Inclusive and flexible. Wine or non-alcoholic swaps are always available — so couples and non-beer drinkers enjoy the same full experience.

Meeting point
Enter the store and wait in the front, you may grab a toothpick and taste cheeses while you wait! You can come by uber, metro stop Rokin (4 min walk) or walk (10 min from Dam Square).
Return details
We end our tour 15 min walk from the start and 5 min from dam square or central station. You can use metro or uber home.

  • Begin near Spui Square at Gastrovino, a boutique delicatessen where you’ll sample aged Dutch cheese and start off our adventure!
  • Peek into Café de Dokter, founded in 1798 by a surgeon. Its dusty bottles, chandeliers, and six seats make it feel straight out of a Harry Potter film. If space permits, enjoy a mini tasting while hearing why beer was once considered a medicine. (pass by)
  • Sit inside Lagerhuys, the historic spot where Gerard Heineken once served the "Nuveau Riche". Sip two local beers (or wine / NA options) paired with smoked sausage as you learn about miracles, merchants, and the city’s love of a good brew.
  • Slip into Kapitein Zeppos, a leafy courtyard café tucked behind the Begijnhof. Savor a small beer (or rosé / ginger soda) and hear how artists and poets once debated politics and pilsners in Amsterdam’s secret alleys. (pass by)
  • Brakke Grond, Flemish Cultural Centre
    At De Brakke Grond, sample two Belgian-style beers and a Flemish snack inside this cultural center owned by Flanders itself. Learn how Dutch and Belgian brewers turned centuries of rivalry into friendly froth.
  • Cross Dam Square, admire the Royal Palace, and hear how a fishing village built on beer and trade became Europe’s Golden Age powerhouse — and how the Miracle of Amsterdam turned spirits into pilgrims. (pass by)
  • Stroll beside the UNESCO-listed canals, following the line where Amsterdam’s medieval wall once stood — the origin of the name “Wallen” and the inspiration for Wall Street. Hear how beer barrels and merchant wealth literally built the city’s freedom. (pass by)
  • Red Light District (De Wallen)
    Enter the historic Red Light District, where monks once prayed and sailors celebrated survival. Your guide reveals how commerce, faith, and freedom intertwined to shape Amsterdam’s most famous neighborhood — no windows, just stories.
  • Outside the Condomerie, the world’s first condom shop, you’ll learn how the Dutch turned taboos into education. Next door, the Oude Kerk, the city’s oldest building, shows how sin and sanctity peacefully coexist in Amsterdam. (pass by)
  • Oldest building in the city shows how religion and sin can sleep on the same bed. (pass by)
  • Pass by Café In ’t Aepjen, a 15th-century pub where sailors once paid their tabs with monkeys brought from the East Indies. It’s one of Amsterdam’s oldest taverns and a living symbol of the city’s global trade and legendary thirst. (pass by)
  • Brouwerij de Prael
    End at De Prael Brewery, a microbrewery that gives work to people from the social care system. Enjoy your final two craft beers (or wine / ginger soda) and raise a glass to seven centuries of Amsterdam’s freedom and flavor.
