1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. My wife, Margaret, and I spent a glorious and unhurried week in Tuscany staying in an apartment on a farm with views of the rolling countryside dotted with terracotta roofed homes, olive orchards, and vineyards with carpets of wild mustard and red poppies. We…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. Ticino Region. We haven’t departed yet but are equally excited to go in less than three weeks. 2. Why did you choose to go there?

Photo by Conan cc As fair warning, you should sit down while reading this. It may be quite shocking, though I think it’s important for you to read. Police escorted two UnTourists from our Le Chiuse apartment this morning in Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. This is the first time in the near 40-year history of UnTours…

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. Carl and I and two dear friends had a marvelous experience in April in Leiden, the Netherlands. We loved the country and our UnTours guides for the week. As was our experience with our last UnTours to Tuscany and Rome, we were met at…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We took a three week tour of Italy, in this order: Amalfi, Umbria and Tuscany. Our apartment in Amalfi was on the waterfront, with a balcony overlooking a delightfully Italianate traffic circle filled with life and a view of the sea. In Umbria, we…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. This was our third trip to Tuscany, and I think we may have got it right this time. The first time we were in awe of the area. Everywhere you looked was another postcard scene. We tried to do everything suggested in the UnTours…
