Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
We’re here to shake up European tourism. We have guided hundreds, maybe thousands, of people on group tours and helped educate people all over the world. We’re tired of the same old overtouristed places and unsustainable travel methods. Your time and our time and our beautiful world are all worth more than that.
I’m going to switch from the “we” to the “I” now and tell you how this all came to be. I’m Eve Sapp and I’m the founder of Neutravel Company. For the last 12 years I have worn a lot of hats, so to speak. I’ve cooked for luxury hotels, managed B&Bs, guided ghost tours, narrated on trains, tour directed and educated cruise ship guests. I’m also the daughter of Florida mango farmers who manage their own, small agri-tourist destination. I have been to over 30 countries, mostly as a backpacker, and have flown on hundreds of planes in my travels. My environmental impact as a traveler really didn’t occur to me, even though I tried to avoid eating meat and recycled whenever I could. I was certainly aware of my social impact, though, and tried to choose experiences that didn’t come with a high cost of human exploitation. It wasn’t until 2018, when I was called out by an environmentalist Dutchman in Taiwan that I started to “get it.” I love this planet and the people in it and I have a passion for traveling, but my traveling was contributing to the harm of the the very planet I claimed to care so much about. That day marked a turning point for me. I would quit my job as a cruise ship educator, reconsider my travel modes and move to the Netherlands… the be with the same Dutchman who kick-started the change.
While he and I explored the Netherlands, I discovered that there seemed to be a real lack of information out there about all of the adventure that the country has to offer. Why weren’t more people kayaking their way across the country? How was it possible that visitors came to this beautiful country and barely left the Randstad? Why were so many diesel powered motor coaches and boats still polluting the road and water ways? I thought that making a home in the Netherlands and involving myself in climate activism would mean that I’d have to leave tourism. The more I thought about it though, the answer seemed clear. The Netherlands was the perfect place to start in reinventing my travel style and in helping other people reinvent theirs. Thus, The Neutravel Company came to be.
Each day, our network grows as we form partnerships with people across the Netherlands and the sustainable tourism industry. As we grow, we plan to provide more opportunities for adventure in the Netherlands and beyond. We also plan to hone our sustainability practices, with the goal of offering 100% carbon-free tours. We also look forward to the day when we are turning enough profit to create our own social and environmental programs here in the Netherlands and abroad. In doing business with us, you’re not just choosing a “greener” vacation, but you’re investing in clean transportation technology, job opportunities for differently-abled people and the success of our small business partners from all over The Netherlands.
