1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We visited Venice for the 5th time, the 3rd time with UnTours. We had a great apartment in the non tourist section of Venice. There were excellent eating places near by, close to the vaporetto stops. 2. Why did you choose to go there?…
Today, as much of the world celebrates Earth Day, we here in Media, PA, are also celebrating the 20th anniversary of the UnTours Foundation. Hooray! As you may know, the UnTours Foundation was founded by Hal & Norma Taussig, with the goal of creating “change, not charity.” They took the after-tax profits of UnTours and…
