1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. My wife, Joanne, and I travelled with our grandson Brian (then age 14) to Spain in June 2012. We decided that the ideal was to experience the Spanish countryside as well as the cities. UnTours has the perfect match for that. We did a…
For me, this week’s timelapse of Andalusia is one of the most enlightening I’ve come across, because I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Spain myself. Not only is it filled with amazing visuals but, because it was created by spain.info, Spain’s official tourism site, every shot is nicely labeled so I can know what…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We stayed at the Esther apartment in Frutigen, hosted by wonderful people. Peter was amused when I asked to see his “bomb shelter!” We selected Frutigen in part because we desired to reach the Valais, Zermatt, and Lake Geneva area yet be close to…

In Luzern,…

On a 3-year motorcycle world tour he dubbed The Modern Motorcycle Diaries, the man now known on Twitter as…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We spent two weeks (May 7-22, 2013) on the Holland UnTour. We were in the Frans Hals apartment in Leiden. Leiden is an ideal place to stay: a beautiful university town that didn’t feel the least bit touristy. Wonderful museums, too. 2. Why did…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. In the fall of 2012, we took a 3-week UnTour in Italy: one week at the Poggiarellino wine farm in Tuscany, one at an olive farm in Umbria, and a third in Rome, where our apartment (Zingari) was close to the Colosseum. We had…
1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. All our UnTours have been fabulous, but our favorite was the time we took our children, their spouses and our grandchildren to Kandersteg. 2. Why did you choose to go there? We wanted to share our favorite memories with our children. Plus, Switzerland has…
Photo by UnTourist Thomas Buckhout You may or may not know that I am simply in love with timelapse videos of my favorite travel destinations. I actually didn’t know I was until I came across this one last year. Since then, I’ve been consuming them at an alarming rate. I thought you may be interested…
