Did you know that Amsterdam is not only known for its iconic canals, historic charm and vibrant culture, but also for its culinary surprises? A food tour is the perfect way to combine team building, sightseeing and local tastings. And we speak from experience: we’ve joined an Amsterdam food tour ourselves, and it truly was a fun and unique experience! In this blog, we take you through the top 5 food tours in Amsterdam that are ideal for your next culinary incentive trip.
Say cheese!
Imagine celebrating a team milestone or having a relaxed meeting while cruising through the canals of Amsterdam. Sounds pretty good, right? Enjoy a private tasting of Dutch cheeses and wine, all while taking in the iconic views of the city. It’s networking and unwinding at its best: tasteful, laid-back, and typically Dutch.
Culinary biking tour
Prefer staying on land? Explore Amsterdam’s authentic neighbourhoods like the Jordaan or De Pijp like a real Dutchie. Bike trough the city with a local guide, who’ll take you to the best hidden gems for traditional Dutch bites. From freshly baked tompouces to classic bitterballen, it’s a great way to combine casual conversation with new sights and flavours. A food bike tour is the perfect setting for team bonding and culinary discovery.

Stroopwafel making: tasty team building
Looking for something a bit more hands-on? Join a stroopwafel-making workshop with your team! Learn how to make this iconic Dutch treat: and, of course, enjoy your own freshly made snack together afterwards. A sweet (literally) and fun team building experience that brings people together.

The Heineken Experience: cheers to success!
After a day of meetings, why not wind down with a visit to the Heineken Experience? Discover the story behind one of the world’s most famous beer brands and finish your tour with a well-earned drink in the bar. A great way to toast to your team’s success and enjoy a relaxed evening together.

Icebar Amsterdam: a cool way to end your day!
Kick off your incentive with something truly memorable: the Icebar Amsterdam. Surrounded by ice: from the walls to the glass you’re drinking from: this -10°C experience is a guaranteed conversation starter. It’s a fun and unexpected way to “break the ice” between team members and share a laugh in a unique setting.
