beautiful Zaanse Schans with its windmills in just a few hours - The tour to Zaanse Schans was very well organized and informative. We visited several windmills, a cheese factory, and a wooden clog workshop. Everything was clear, interesting, and on time. Our guide Ekaterina provided useful information about Dutch history, local production, and daily life. She answered all questions and managed the group perfectly. A great option to learn about traditional Holland and to see the beautiful Zaanse Schans with its windmills in just a few hours. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour - Excellent tour and service. Coordination with Anastasia prior to arrival was outstanding and our guide, Maria was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a private tour so we asked to change the itinerary a bit after we got started and they were very accommodating. Arrived on time for pick up and vehicle was immaculate. Would highly recommend Snurk Travel.

Elvina was a great guide. - “Elvina was a great guide, taking us on a tour of Zaanse Schans. I’m glad we had her or else we would not have known about the hidden details of the windmills, and the knowledge of the local area. We even shouted her lunch afterwords. It was a great day out. Thank you Elvina.

A Fabulous Tour - Maria did an outstanding job as our guide. She provided a thorough and engaging overview of the town's history, making it come alive with her vivid storytelling. Her insights into the lives of the local people added a personal touch that made the experience even more enriching. Additionally, Maria shared a wealth of general information about the Dutch culture and Amsterdam, which was both informative and fascinating. Her knowledge and passion for the subject were evident throughout the tour, making it a memorable and educational experience for all of us. Without Maria as our guide, this would have been a far less enriching experience. We would not have learned nearly as much as we did. Highly recommended!
