Postcards from the Holidays in Las Terrenas. Multi-Generational Travel to the Beaches of the Dominican Republic. A Thanksgiving meal of rice, beans, and chicken, garnished with ample helpings of freshly picked avocado? A pre-meal hike to a secluded waterfall instead of the traditional backyard football game? Recovering from the holiday gluttony on a lounger…
Costa Rica has a way of quietly commandeering everyone’s full attention, no matter their age. It’s not a country you visit so much as one you absorb. And for families traveling with UnTours, that absorption happens at exactly the right pace: unhurried, rooted in one home base, with your UnGuide just a call away when…
When you travel, you make a lot of choices. Where to go, where to stay, who to book with (we’re grateful you choose us!). What most of us don’t see as clearly is what happens after our booking is confirmed. When you book an UnTour, that’s where the story begins — for you and for…
Last Friday, UnTours and the UnTours Foundation closed our doors in solidarity with those protesting across the country. It was a simple act of radical kindness, a principle that sits at the heart of both organizations. Today, we follow up with additional action to support immigrant and refugee communities who are facing fear, violence, and…
Today, UnTours and the UnTours Foundation are pausing normal business operations. We are giving our team the opportunity to participate in today’s general strike and to stand in solidarity with immigrant and refugee communities, and with all those standing up to injustice across the United States. We are acting in response to the vilification, detention,…
There are places you visit, and places that quietly change you.

Anne has lived in Provence for more than 35 years. Raised in Paris and…
Before slow became a lifestyle or travel trend, it was a quiet act of resistance. A refusal to rush. A belief that food—like culture, community, and place—deserves time. The Slow Food movement didn’t begin with a glossy manifesto. It began with a shared unease: a sense that something essential was slipping away as speed,…
Written by UnFluencer, Riley Chervinski I’ve always loved the idea of a slow, winding road trip through the Italian countryside with plenty of time to stop for fresh pasta, medieval villages, and wineries atop rolling vineyards. But when I pictured myself driving in Tuscany for the first time, I was terrified. For many…
Written and Photographed UnFluencer, Riley Chervinski I’ve stayed in all kinds of places while traveling (charming B&Bs, budget hotels, luxury chains) but the UnTours 8-day Tuscany Food & Wine Tour was the first time where staying put actually felt like part of the trip itself. During our week in Tuscany in May, we stayed…
One of our favorite things about UnTours, especially as we celebrate nearly 50 years, is that the trips don’t really end when you fly home. Sometimes, they quietly keep going for decades. UnTourist Beth Stus shared this story with us, and it’s a perfect reminder of what can happen when you slow down…
