We’ve got friends (Tenon travelers) in high places! ⛰️🇨🇭 Tracy & Tom took their Tenon adventure to Switzerland and snapped this incredible shot at Jungfraujoch, the highest peak in Europe. Fun fact: Tracy & Tom were introduced to Tenon by one of their friends, a five-time Tenon traveler.

🎅 Did you know you can meet Santa himself in his hometown of Rovaniemi, Finland?

The Finnish Lapland is the snowy wonderland he calls home. When you visit, you can explore his workshop, meet off-duty reindeer, and even cross the magical Arctic Circle—it runs right through his village! Plus, with such a prime location, you might just catch a glimpse of the glimmering Northern Lights. ✨ ❄️

If you're as excited as we are to meet Santa, start here and customize your own magical adventure: https://hubs.li/Q02_-Qd80

📍Venice, Italy

Stunning photo in from Tenon Traveler Karen, one of our awesome repeat travelers! Here's what she shared about her trip to Italy:

"Without [Tenon's] knowledge of the country, my cousin and I could never have found the accommodations and tours that you do. This service is so valuable to me. Our private cooking class in Bologna was probably the best experience I've ever had on vacation. We not only learned to make incredible local foods, we gained a friend in Alessandra. Bellissima!"

🚨 Travel Update for 2025 🚨

Starting in early 2025, travelers to the UK (including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)—even if you're just passing through on your way to another destination. The ETA costs £10 per person and can be applied for online or via the UK ETA app.

List of nationalities that that can apply for an ETA now or will be able to apply later.
