Did you know that our UnTour home base of Buonconvento in Tuscany means “happy convent” or “good gathering place” in Italian? 🇮🇹

This name perfectly captures the spirit of the town as a welcoming stop along the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route. For centuries, travelers sought food, rest, and a bit of fun here on their way to Rome.

Today, that legacy continues as visitors are invited to slow down, take in the town’s medieval architecture, and experience the essence of Italian hospitality, which has been cultivated over centuries.

Just a short trip from Meiringen in Switzerland, you’ll find the Aare Gorge—a dramatic canyon sculpted by the Aare River during the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago 😲

The gorge stretches over a mile, with walkways and tunnels hugging the rock face just above the river. Standing on these paths, you can sense the power of the water below, which flows icy blue from its glacial source.

The gorge is easily accessible by train, with a small station right near the entrance, making it easy to reach from our UnTour home base in Meiringen: https://www.untours.com/destinations/switzerland

Did you know that the Gaelic word for whisky means “water of life”? 🥃

The Scottish Highlands are a powerhouse of whisky production, being home to many of the world’s most famous distilleries, such as Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, and Macallan. Some Highland distilleries still use traditional copper stills, making every bottle like a sip of history.

Beyond its whisky heritage, the Scottish Highlands offer sweeping vistas of rugged mountains, serene lochs, and charming villages. For those of you inspired to experience this culture firsthand, check out our UnTours in Inverness (known as the Highland Capital) 👉 https://www.untours.com/destinations/united-kingdom/scottish-highlands

If you ever go to Porto, Portugal, do not miss – we repeat, do not miss – a day trip to the Douro Valley! 🇵🇹

So many travelers stick to the lively streets of Porto, perhaps hopping over to Gaia for a quick port tasting, but completely miss the beautiful countryside. If you have a passion for food, wine, and history, this valley is a true pilgrimage to the heart of viticulture. Did you know it’s one of the oldest wine regions in the world, with roots stretching back to Roman times?

That’s why we’re excited to now offer travelers visiting Porto the chance to experience the Douro Valley as part of their UnTours.

While many cruises leave Porto for the valley, they often mean spending precious hours on the water, leaving you with little time to explore. So, we’ve designed our trip differently:

We’ll pick you up right from your accommodation, taking you on a scenic drive to the Douro Valley filled with insights and stories along the way. Once we arrive, we’ll do a winery and vineyard tour followed by a wine tasting and then enjoy a relaxing boat ride. And as always, you’ll be accompanied by a local so you can learn about what you see and the traditions that shape this stunning landscape.

New to UnTours? We help travelers immerse themselves in the places they visit so they can get a good feel for the local culture.

👉 Give us a follow to learn more about us and follow along as we share examples of the many fascinating experiences you can have on an UnTour.

The Peloponnese is Greece’s wine paradise, and Nemea—famed for its Agiorgitiko grapes—is often called ‘Greece’s Napa Valley.’ 🍷 These vineyards have been around since ancient times, with Nemean wine once offered to the gods!

Today, you can wine-taste your way through Nemea’s wineries and sip on what was once a drink for deities.

The Nemea wine region is just a 40-minute drive from our UnTour homebase in Nafplio.

Swipe for what has to be one of the very best views you can get of the Eiffel Tower 😍 – and then visit our website to make it yours next year!

UnTours may not be all about the views, but this one certainly has our hearts racing every time we see it.

This is the view from our Bellevue apartment, located on the sixth floor of a beautiful building (fear not, there’s an elevator!) in the 15th arrondissement, a residential neighborhood on the left bank of the River Seine, close to the Champs de Mars where the Eiffel Tower is (just a 10-minute walk).

If you’ve always wanted to visit Paris and experience it as a local, not a tourist, this apartment is for you. It has two double bedrooms, one bathroom, and a fully equipped galley kitchen with a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and all the utensils you need.

Step outside, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by quintessential Parisian shops— warm bakeries, artisanal cheese makers, charming bistros, and inviting cafes.

And then, of course, you’re just a quick metro hop away from the iconic Bon Marché, the historic Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame Cathedral, and all the wonders the city has to offer, thanks to its excellent metro and bus services.

Want to make sure you experience like a local and not a tourist? That’s where your UnGuide comes in handy, helping you narrow down how to best spend your time based on your interests and what you’d like to experience.

👉 Save this post for when you’re ready to book your dream trip to Paris, or click the link below to chat with our reservations team and start planning for 2025!

As the sun begins to set and the heat of the day wanes, locals in Italy emerge from their homes and gather in the streets for a walk.

The passeggiata typically occurs around 5 to 8 PM, offering a perfect opportunity for friends and families to reconnect after a busy day. It’s more than just a walk; it’s a cherished ritual where people enjoy the simple pleasures of life—taking time to chat with neighbors, catch up on the latest news, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

In Rome, the passeggiata often leads to iconic landmarks like Piazza Navona or the Spanish Steps, where you can pause to enjoy a gelato or sip an aperitivo while soaking in the atmosphere.

In Florence, the passeggiata often winds through the historic center, with locals gathering near the Ponte Vecchio or Piazza della Signoria.

The passeggiata is a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate life’s little moments. It fosters mindfulness, social connection, and a deep appreciation for the world around us—all things we’re really passionate about here at UnTours.

Where in Italy would you love to take a “passeggiata”?

🇲🇽 Our new UnTour destination, Oaxaca, is one of the best cities in Mexico for street food, and some staples may surprise you!

Ever tried chapulines (fried grasshoppers)? Locals love them as a salty, crunchy snack with lime and chili. Oaxaca is also the birthplace of tlayudas, massive crispy tortillas loaded with beans, cheese, and grilled meat. Anthony Bourdain once called it “one of the best street foods in the world.”

If you’ve been to Oaxaca before, tell us about your favorite street food!

And if you haven’t, let’s change that 👉

Do you know why Paris is often called “La Ville Lumière” (The City of Light)?

Hint: it’s not just because of its famous night illuminations.

The term originated in the 18th century when Paris was a center of education and enlightenment, attracting intellectuals and artists like Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, and Montesquieu. It was a time when the city became synonymous with new ideas and cultural innovation. 💡

Paris was also one of the first cities to implement gas lighting, illuminating its streets (and enhancing its charm if we might add), both day and night. ✨

Nafplio is home to a magical sight: a castle that appears to “float” over the sea 👀

Alright, it doesn’t actually float—but close enough! Bourtzi Castle, built by the Venetians in the 15th century, stands on a tiny islet just off Nafplio’s coast. Originally constructed to protect the city from pirate invasions, this small but mighty fortress was part of an elaborate defense network. Due to its unique position, surrounded by the sparkling Aegean Sea, Bourtzi gives the impression of floating on water, especially as the sun dips low at dusk.

This view of Bourtzi Castle is just one of the many reasons Nafplio is a must-see. Discover our accommodations in the city here 👉 https://www.untours.com/destinations/greece/nafplio

We found farm-to-table heaven just outside Pienza 😍

One of the many things we love about Tuscany—and Italy in general—is its strong focus on fresh, local, seasonal food. With so many farms in the region, there’s no shortage of absolutely outstanding restaurants to enjoy in the area.

Among our favorites is Podere Il Casale, a family-owned organic farm and winery. The farm grows and produces all of its own food, including flour, cheese, meats, vegetables, wine, olive oil, honey truffle and more!

The owners, Sandra and Ulisse, originally from Switzerland, bought Podere Il Casale—a then run-down Tuscan farmstead—over 30 years ago. They wanted to reconnect with nature and embrace sustainable farming. Today, it’s evolved into a full-fledged destination offering wine tastings, cheese-making workshops, cooking classes, truffle hunts, and a fantastic farm-to-table restaurant serving incredible food with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

We dare you not to fall in love with Podere Il Casale like we, and many others, have—it’s hard not to, especially with the warm, friendly atmosphere. 💚

Fun fact: Their three sons and two daughters-in-law all work on the farm, making it a true family affair. If you’d like to learn more about their story, they even wrote a book about their journey and their love for family, food, and farming in the Tuscan countryside.

Bookmark this address for your next trip! 📍

This is the type of place we’re always looking out for at UnTours. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to contact us to introduce yourself. For UnTourists, we’ve got all our favorite spots listed on our app, so you’ll never have to guess where to go. Then again, from experience, it’s hard not to have a fantastic meal in Tuscany!

Did you know that Paris has a hidden vineyard tucked away in the Montmartre district? 🍷

Nestled among the cobblestone streets and vibrant art scene, Clos Montmartre spans about 1.5 acres and has been cultivating grapes since the late 1930s!

Each year, the vineyard’s harvest culminates in the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre (held in early to mid-October), a lively festival celebrating the grape harvest with wine tastings, music, and colorful parades.

The vineyard produces approximately 1,000 to 1,500 bottles of wine annually. Most of these bottles are considered collector’s items due to their limited availability and unique origin. The proceeds from the wine sales support various local charities, making Clos Montmartre not just a delightful local attraction but also a valuable contributor to the community’s welfare.

👉 Make sure to add it to your must-visit list and consider booking for October next year so you can experience the vibrant wine festival firsthand! https://www.untours.com/destinations/france/paris

Wondering if you should take your toddler to Europe? We asked Adriana from our team, who recently took her two-year-old son on an UnTour through Italy and Portugal, to share her thoughts and tips for parents.👇

“Exploring the world through your toddler’s eyes is incredible. They find magic in every corner. Don’t wait—there’s nothing better than traveling with your little one. Toddlers are surprisingly adaptable! However, choose places where they’ll feel at ease. Is Rome ideal for toddlers? Probably not, given the crowds, but Tuscany is perfect for slow, crowd-free travel.”

Adriana’s top three tips for parents:

1️⃣ Stay flexible. Remember, while Europe might be your dream, toddlers don’t know that. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

2️⃣ Plan for picky eating. While the local cuisine is amazing, your toddler might not be as adventurous. Be ready with foods they’re familiar with.

3️⃣ Tag-team with your partner. Share the responsibility of keeping your toddler entertained. For example, if there is a tour you’d really like to do, have your partner take care of your toddler while you do the tour so you can fully enjoy the experience, and vice versa. Then mix in activities together.

Have you ever taken your toddler(s) to Europe? What was your experience like? Would you add any other tips to what Adriana shared?

Argos, in northeastern Peloponnese, Greece, is one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, with a history stretching back over 7,000 years! This ancient city even predates iconic city-states like Athens and Sparta. 😲
