About us

Our team & guides

Unser Team besteht aus einer bunt gemischten Gruppe von Menschen, die eines verbindet: die Leidenschaft für das Ruhrgebiet. Diese Begeisterung ist bei jeder Tour spürbar und macht den Besuch unserer Region zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis.

Unsere Guides bringen unterschiedliche Hintergründe und Geschichten mit – vom ehemaligen Bergmann, der aus eigener Erfahrung von der Arbeit unter Tage erzählt, bis zur Doktorin der Archäologie, welche tief in die historischen Schichten unserer Region eintaucht. Diese Vielfalt ermöglicht es uns, das Ruhrgebiet aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu zeigen und dessen Facettenreichtum lebendig werden zu lassen.

Mit Herzblut und Fachwissen nehmen wir unsere Gäste mit auf eine Reise, bei der Industriekultur, Natur und spannende Geschichten miteinander verschmelzen. Egal ob einer geführten Radtour, bei einer Stirnlampen-Führung oder einem Stadtspaziergang – unsere Begeisterung steckt an und macht jeden Moment besonders.

Lass euch von unserer Leidenschaft für das Ruhrgebiet inspirieren und entdeckt mit uns, was diese Region so einzigartig macht!

Highest priority: Quality & Services! And that in every sector.

 

Unsere Philosophie

Die „simply out tours-Philosophie“ heißt: Für Menschen da sein — für jedes einzelne Team-Mitglied sowie für jeden/jede unserer Kunden/Kundinnen.
Es ist ein spürbarer Wert, eine Haltung, bei allem was simply out tours plant und/ oder durchführt.

Das gesamte Team ist service- und kundenorientiert.
Der Anspruch ist: „Wir arbeiten zuverlässig und professionell.“
Dabei haben wir die Themen Menschlichkeit, 
Sustainability / Ecology,as well as our closeness to nature and social responsibility. These values run like a green thread through our offers and work. As a result, we have not only created cultural and sightseeing offers that are great fun, but also health-promoting and community-building experiences in nature. 

simply out tours ist regional & lokal tief verbunden. Our vision: to create sustainable, earthbound experiences and trips to the Ruhr region. We want to give people a great time and we know how to do this and what we need to do it: Personality and a great network. That's what we have and that's why we enjoy it so much, because what you do and can do well brings deep satisfaction and joy. You will notice - try us and book a tour!

Our journey to becoming a sustainable company

Many of our products offer the opportunity to explore the region in a sustainable way. We usually travel on foot or by bike and have always designed our tours so that they can be done on a manual bike or what many people now call an ‘organic bike’.

Even if the current trend is that sustainable tourism and the topic of sustainability in general is booming (and that is necessary), it is a personal concern of ours to make our actions more sustainable. This also includes our internal processes.

On this page, we let you participate in our transformation process and are happy to receive feedback, tips and/or suggestions.

Our first step was to register for the Sustainability Pledge (NVMR) of the IHK Mittleres Ruhrgebiet.
This provided the opportunity to work together with other companies on essential topics, create synergies and support each other along the way.
In various workshops with Grubengold , we were able to develop our promise and were given the skills to continue addressing the issue and tackle the areas and challenges identified.

We have established the following promise for simply out tours:

1. ‘Turning a feeling into a fact’ - Not only our products and part of our internal structure should be sustainable or be perceived as such, but we as a company as a whole.
2. To implement a sustainability report by the end of 2023 that determines the current status of internal CO2 consumption in order to derive fields of action and necessary measures.
3. Internally and externally, we want to raise awareness of the issue of sustainability among our team members and guests and create support/offers for climate neutrality, e.g. when travelling to the event.
