The experience

The tour moves through medieval Haarlem on foot, stopping at six places most visitors, and even many locals, never find. Each stop is a working food maker or producer: you taste what they make, learn how they do it, and hear why they care about the work. The guide knows the owners and the philosophy behind each place, so you're not just tasting. You're getting the story that explains what's on your plate.

Four hours covers the walking and the tastings without rushing. You'll get snacks, coffee or tea, and a drink included at the stops themselves: the producers pour and explain as you taste. The route stays inside the old city, so the walking is manageable and the medieval streets are part of the experience. A live guide in your language (English, French, German or Dutch) handles the pacing and the introductions.
