About this activity

This breakfast tour is designed for travelers who want more than just food: they want to experience Amsterdam like a local. Set in the lively De Pijp neighborhood, your morning unfolds at the famous Albert Cuyp Market, a cornerstone of daily Dutch life for over a century.

Begin in a family-run bakery with coffee and a freshly baked classic Dutch savory pastry. Then step into the market with your guide, where you’ll meet vendors and hand-pick ingredients like Gouda cheese and traditional ham.

These ingredients come to life at a welcoming lunch café, where your Dutch savory pancake is freshly prepared, simple, comforting, and deeply local.

As you walk, discover the stories behind De Pijp, from its artistic heritage to iconic local figures. Finish with a fun, hands-on stroopwafel workshop, crafting and tasting one of the Netherlands’ most beloved sweets.
