Passionate about cycling and the Netherlands, we're dedicated to sharing the beauty of Dutch landscapes and culture through sustainable tourism.
watermdori was born from a simple belief: the Netherlands is best experienced by bicycle. Our founders, avid cyclists and Dutch culture enthusiasts, recognised that while millions visit the Netherlands each year, many miss the authentic beauty that lies beyond the typical tourist routes.
Starting as a small local initiative in Utrecht, we began by sharing our favourite cycling routes with friends and visitors. Word spread quickly about our unique approach to showcasing the Netherlands - one that combines stunning natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and the quintessentially Dutch experience of cycling.
Today, watermdori has grown into a trusted name in Dutch cycling tourism, but we've maintained our core values: small group experiences, local expertise, and a deep respect for the environments and communities we visit.
We're committed to providing authentic, sustainable, and enriching cycling experiences that benefit both visitors and local communities.
We promote eco-friendly travel that minimises environmental impact while supporting local economies and preserving Dutch cultural heritage for future generations.
Every tour is designed to provide genuine insights into Dutch life, history, and culture, going beyond surface-level sightseeing to create meaningful connections.
We work closely with local businesses, guides, and communities to ensure our tours benefit the places we visit while providing employment and economic support.
The safety and wellbeing of our guests is paramount. We maintain the highest standards in equipment, route planning, and guide training to ensure worry-free experiences.
We continuously strive to exceed expectations through attention to detail, personalised service, and a commitment to making every tour a memorable highlight of your visit.
Our guides are passionate locals who share insider knowledge, hidden gems, and personal stories that bring the Netherlands to life in ways guidebooks simply cannot.
The Netherlands and cycling are inseparable. With over 35,000 kilometres of dedicated cycle paths, cycling is not just a mode of transport here - it's a way of life that connects people to their environment and each other.
Cycling allows you to experience the Netherlands at the perfect pace: fast enough to cover significant ground and see diverse landscapes, yet slow enough to appreciate the details, interact with locals, and truly absorb the atmosphere of each place you visit.
From the gentle rhythm of pedalling through tulip fields to the satisfaction of reaching a historic windmill, cycling creates a deeper, more memorable connection with the Dutch landscape and culture than any other form of travel.
