The Netherlands

Beyond canals and postcard beauty lies a layered history often left untold. With GINI, the Netherlands becomes a place of reckoning and remembrance where colonial legacies are explored, diaspora stories are centred and new narratives can rise. We offer decolonial city walks, cultural events and grounded experiences that shift how we move through Dutch landscapes from the museums of Amsterdam to the hidden Black histories in Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague. Whether this land is your birthplace, a new home, or a chapter in your lineage, our journeys invite you to see differently and walk with deeper awareness. This is not about ticking boxes. It’s about unearthing truth and walking forward, together.

Dutch landscape

Colonial past & untold stories

The Netherlands is often seen through images of canals, tulips and tidy cities, but beneath the surface lie stories of colonial power, forced migration and global entanglements.

As a former colonial empire, the Netherlands shaped, and was shaped by, histories spanning Suriname, Indonesia, Ghana, the Dutch Caribbean and beyond. Today, its cities hold these legacies in their streets, languages and communities.

With GINI, you’re invited to walk these stories with awareness. Our decolonial city tours, cultural experiences and community-based workshops offer a deeper understanding of how the past lives in the present and how healing and remembrance are possible through shared space.

This is not a postcard, it’s a living archive.

Reframed experiences

GINI impact travel Netherlands

At GINI, we bring our three pillars to life through immersive experiences in the Netherlands not just for international travellers, but for diasporic communities, locals, and organisations working toward equity.

  • Leave an impact – Every GINI experience is an act of awareness, inviting participants to see, feel and act differently in the spaces they inhabit.
  • Support local economies – We partner with grassroots hosts, artists, guides and BIPOC-owned businesses, creating real economic and relational impact.
  • Cultural remembrance – We design experiences that honour hidden and overlooked narratives through walking tours, workshops and curated events grounded in truth.

 

From individual travellers to schools, municipalities and businesses GINI is the inbound touroperator for The Netherlands. Offering both personal journeys and business collaborations that centre justice, storytelling and connection.

Because transformation begins close to home.

GINI's impact

Support local economies

By joining a GINI journey or experience, you support local hosts, guides and creatives. +20% of our profits are reinvested into grassroots initiatives. Your presence helps circulate wealth fairly and contributes to lasting, community-led impact, where it’s needed most and where it grows with dignity.

Slow and soulful experiences

Whether it’s a one-day experience or a longer journey, GINI moves at the pace of presence. You’re invited to connect and engage without rush. We create space for joy, reflection and genuine exchange, offering experiences that nourish you and honour the people and stories you meet along the way.

Leave a lasting impact

Every GINI experience creates ripple effects, social, cultural and economic. From hands-on contribution to conscious spending, your participation supports grounded, long-term change. Together, we shift from extractive tourism to intentional travel that uplifts, respects and stays behind when you move on.

Stories that remember

GINI experiences centre cultural remembrance. You’re welcomed not as a tourist but as a guest, to listen, witness and honour the stories that shaped a place. We travel to remember, to reconnect, and to make space for narratives too often left out, dismissed or forgotten in mainstream tourism.
