Pricing for our paid tours

As part of our commitment to equity and accessibility, Freedom Tours Wageningen uses a sliding scale fee model for our paid tours. We have 3 different pricing tiers to accommodate a variety of budgets, recognizing that financial wealth is a resource that historically has not been equitably distributed. Organizations, institutions and individuals who have access to more resources pay higher rates, allowing us to offer lower rates to lower-resourced organizations and individuals. The three different pricing tiers do not correspond to any differences in your group’s tour experience.

Solidarity rate - 140 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Intended for organizations and individuals with highest need and less access to institutional, social, and cultural resources

• Smaller and lower-resourced organizations

• Grassroots organizations

• Newly established organizations

• Organizations led by members of the communities they serve and impact

• Organizations whose work is focused on disrupting the status quo

Sustain rate - 220 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Our base rate - paying at this rate provides full compensation for our work, including the time, labor and expertise involved in developing and providing our offerings

• Educational institutions such as schools and universities

• Organizations that consider themselves to be somewhere in between those in the Solidarity and Pay-It-Forward categories

Pay-It-Forward rate - 300 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Intended for organizations and individuals with more access to resources. Payments at this rate allow us to offer lower rates to those with less access to resources

• Large and established institutions

• Organizations that receive substantial funding from large established foundations, legacy funding entities, or government resources

• For-profit companies or corporations

If these pricing options still pose a barrier to you or your organization participating in our tours, please contact us at freedomtourswageningen@gmail.com to discuss barter and payment plan options.
