What To Expect

Meet your food-expert guide in the center of The Hague and begin your walking tour of the city’s food offerings and culinary heritage.

Delve into the pretty streets and squares, and walk by some of The Hague’s landmarks as you work your way to the different food stops. See the Noordeinde Palace and Binnenhof, the courtyard surrounded by parliamentary buildings; and pass a few tucked-away gems, giving you an insight into the city’s historical diversity.

As you walk, hear fun tales about Dutch culture and gastronomy, and visit some thriving food spots to sample their wares. Call at aromatic bakeries, cafes, food shops and quaint pubs, many artisanal in nature; each of them chosen for the quality of its offerings.

At each stop, run your palate by a delicious savory snack, sweet treat or drink. Hear about its history from your guide, and chat to the proprietors to discover the people and stories behind each venue. Swap thoughts with your fellow food-lovers and, as your tour progresses, experience what the locals call gezelligheid — the feeling of fun, warm conviviality that’s fundamental to Dutch culture.

Afterwards, head back to the start point, where your tour ends.

The guide didn't show up! We waited in the rain for 10 minutes. It was very disappointing. We have requested a full refund.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi Renee, We are very sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately TripAdvisor did not cancel your booking as it should have :). We requested the cancellation 3 weeks prior as the date was no longer available. We have no way of reaching the customer after we canceld the tour. We would like to give you a voucher for two tickets as a token of our sincerity. We never stand up our customers. In this case we were bound by the limitations this platform gives us. You can email us on hello@bitesandstories.com Kind regards, Kerensa
Delicious, Informative Walking Tour
Laura_S, May 2022
This was the best walking tour I have ever been on. It is clear how much Kerensa cares about her home town community. We learned so much about the history and culture of Den Haag through traditional foods like raisin cake and herring, but also through meeting shop and restaurant owners who are bringing exciting new dishes and recipes to this area. What a special experience! I feel like I made a new friend in Den Haag.
Very interesting!!!
