Sustainability at Dutch Tours

At Dutch Tours, we believe travel should be meaningful, not mass-produced. That’s why our small-group tours are designed to tread lightly on the environment and on the places we visit. Whether you’re walking through small villages, exploring nature reserves, or supporting local makers, your journey with us makes a difference.

Let’s take you behind the scenes of how we travel responsibly, together.

Ecological

  • We advise guests to walk or use public transport to reach our meeting points to help reduce CO2 emissions.
  • Mass tourism can damage fragile destinations. That’s why we focus on quiet, lesser-known places.
  • Our local guides know the environment and ensure we leave nothing behind.
  • Dutch nature is delicate. That’s why we travel in small groups and respect all visitor guidelines.
  • We encourage everyone to help keep nature clean by picking up any litter we find along the way.

Social

  • Our local guides share stories that bring Dutch culture to life.
  • We support small towns and local businesses with every stop we make.
  • We proudly welcome all guests, regardless of background, ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
  • Not all tours are wheelchair accessible, but let us know your needs when booking and we’ll explore what’s possible to make it work within our means.
  • We enjoy sharing knowledge about nature and how to travel more sustainably.

Economical

  • All our guides and drivers are paid fairly and treated with respect.
  • We book directly with local businesses to keep the money where it matters.
  • A percentage of every booked tour goes to sustainability-focused projects.
  • We offer you the option to offset the ecological impact of your trip.
  • In the Wadden Sea area, we follow the sustainability guidelines of the UNESCO World Heritage organization.

Other

  • For every booked tour we donate a percentage to sustainable projects.
  • We are offering you a way to offset your ecological footprint here.
  • We are sticking to the objectives of the Waddensea World Heritage Organization and their sustainable tourism strategy.
