What you’ll do

What could be better than meeting up with a fellow foodie and enjoying a meal together in one of Europe’s most iconic cities? Join one of our hosts and immerse yourselves in the food culture of Amsterdam together.

Whether you dine at a traditional Dutch restaurant, trendy Malaysian eatery, or a cozy bistro, you and your host can discuss all things food - from the best spots to pick up fresh produce to the markets that locals frequent.

Exchange recipes that you can try out at home and learn a bit about the Dutch culture through conversation and immersing yourself in its flavors.

Branch out if you like, and try something globally-influenced or flavors that have come straight from Malaysia. It’s all about getting that insider’s peep into the cuisine scene of Amsterdam, and we’re here to make that happen!

Don’t forget to pick their brain on more fabulous restaurants and markets to visit during your stay.

    Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

    Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.

    We had a lovely time with Tiana visiting Kyoto. She was really knowledgeable and was great catching the interest of the kids with many details about shrines, temples and also life in Japan in general. It was really a great guided tour.

    Marc was excellent in providing us an introductions to the many sights of Tokyo. We thought 4 hours was a long time but we barely scratched the surface. There were so many things to do and so many places to see. But he was able to help us navigate the complicated Metro system and provided us with very helpful tips on how to maximize our time in Tokyo. Having kids of his own, Marc was able to engaged skillfully with our daughter and made the experience even more meaningful for us. If your looking to explore Tokyo for the first time or take your sight seeing to the next level. You will be in good hands with Marc Paris. Merci Beaucoup
