アムステルダムからの半日エダムとフォーレンダムのプライベート ウォーキング ツアー

We always wanted to see not only cities in the Netherlands, but also villages. One day we went with a wonderful guide, Ekaterina, to Edam and Volendam. We were doubly lucky - the weather was wonderful, and this day coincided with the celebration of King's Day in the country. We saw many cheerful residents and festively decorated streets. I really love leisurely walks, when you can stop for coffee at any time or linger in a particularly liked place. Ekaterina flexibly adjusted to our wishes, but at the same time conscientiously "worked out" the entire informational part of the excursion. We learned a lot about the traditions and cultural characteristics of the inhabitants of Dutch villages, many facts about agriculture, cheese making and history. We were amazed by the attitude of the country's residents to cows and other livestock and their real care for them. We had two stops - one in Edam for coffee and homemade apple pie made according to an old recipe (mmm... very tasty!), the second in Vollendam for lunch in a wonderful restaurant, which is famous for its smokehouse. Many thanks to Ekaterina and the tour organizers!

It was enjoyable to see older canal homes and understand the history and seeing the outlying area. Our guide was informative and knew her history. More guidance could have been given on the best route to meet the guide. We wasted time and money in travel.

A great tour — very interesting and informative. Maria was fantastic — so engaging and knowledgeable! Really nice to learn about the more relaxing and quieter side of the Netherlands as opposed to the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam.

We have just returned from a tour of Edam and Volendam where Sergey discovered for us a part of the Netherlands that is so different from our already beloved Amsterdam! It was such a wonderful, calm, soulful walk - not at all like a standard excursion! We saw and felt the slow and quiet rhythm of small towns, and were enchanted by the green and flowery streets, cutely decorated courtyards and delicious cafes and restaurants! The personal tour was highly professional, easy, educational, fun and even delicious!!! We will contact SNURK TRAVEL again and again for new emotions in different cities and countries!!!

Maria was incredibly nice and easy-going during my family's 3 hour day trip around two towns outside of Amsterdam. These two communities differed significantly in traditions and Maria's discussion and engagement about each's characteristics made it really special. My family and I were pretty worn out from traveling that morning but Maria made it a great time nevertheless! Maria was accommodating and flexible to our pace and was genuine, honest, and funny as she answered our raining of random questions. I would love to go on another of Maria's trips!

We had a wonderful tour with Maria and she was very flexible with where we went and speed. She truly immersed us in the history and current ways of life in the areas we visited.

Our guide was very punctual. He was waiting in front of the train station with a sign that had the tour company's name on it. This made him very easy to locate. We took the local bus to Edam and Volendam. That in itself is an enjoyable experience as you see so much countryside dotted with farms and canals. The guide was very friendly and informative. There were lots of visual aides that helped to see what the towns looked like in the past in comparison to the current landscape. He knew all kinds of interesting history and quirky facts of both Edam and Volendam. Both towns were beautiful in completely different ways. This is a perfect day trip from Amsterdam. It gives you a break from the chaos for a few hours in a much calmer setting. We highly recommend this tour.

With the one-day ticket valid for the whole Amsterdam region you move very well to all the villages of the Waterland that are really worth visiting.
