1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. Our most recent UnTour was to Kuchl, Austria in May 2012. We chose the Seiwald apartment for two weeks. We found this to be a charming small town to base in with great scenery. It was interesting to sit on our balcony and watch…
Photo by UnTourist Ron Anderson As you may know, we had the inaugural Unny Awards just recently. These awards are our way of recognizing the regions which have welcomed UnTours all these years. The Unnies are fun and lighthearted and that’s how we like things around here. We like to think of them as the…
Since I started working here way back in 2011, the UnTours regions have been calling on me to give them some attention. Actually, not just attention, but distinction. Now, I know they are all big enough to speak for themselves. They don’t need you to tell them they’re great; we all already know that. What…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We went for a month: two weeks in Tuscany and two weeks in Switzerland Oberland. We have made several UnTours to these places as we cannot seem to get these beauties out of our system! From the minute we arrive in Montalcino to Le…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. In 2009, I went to Switzerland with my daughter and son-in-law. We stayed in Reuti with Hans and Behtli. I’ve stayed with them at least five times. From there we could get to most anywhere in Switzerland. And the view from the apartment is…
How many members of the Swiss team do you recognize?Extra credit if you can name the three current staff members not pictured! The sun and gray clouds were battling it out as I boarded the train to Lucerne from Meiringen on October 20. After winding up the mountain to the Bruenig Pass, my colleague Margrit…
This week’s Monday Memory is from UnTourists Margaret and Pete Haggart. In 2007, we visited Vienna for a week as an add-on to our two weeks in the Heartland of Switzerland. I taught film history for many decades at the University of Idaho and Vienna provided an opportunity to get my picture taken in front…
The Dewoodys family are a lovely snapshot of the kind of family experience UnTouring together can offer. Check back tomorrow, October 30th for more of their wonderful pictures, as part of the final slideshow on Kids & Grandkids in Switzerland. 1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour and why you chose…
We asked Janet Dieman to be an UnTourist of the Week. Her creative answer to the questions—Tell us about your last UnTour? Why did you go there? What’s your favorite UnTour memory? What three words best describe UnTours?—are below. We’re not sure it’s ever been so poetically stated. Rather than telling you about my most…
This week’s Monday Memory is from UnTourists Vickie Kelber and George Wilhelm. I have no idea who these two people are! Seriously, this is us in front of our first UnTours apartment in Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland in 1991. We felt so fortunate to have found this apartment and UnTours. Our landlady and landlord, Sepp and Rosemarie…
