President
It's not just the travel, but the love and respect I have for Hal's legacy and his values that keeps me at Untours. Working at Untours has given me an opportunity to continue his mission and create a company that makes a positive difference in the world.
Elizabeth Killough
Co-CEO - Untours Foundation
I share Hal Taussig's passions for ending poverty, riding bikes, treasuring great books, and discovering just the right films on Netflix, so I joined him at the Untours Foundation over a decade ago.
Ellen Peters
Accounting Director
Above and beyond the travel perks, I'm thrilled to be working at Untours because of the philosophy of the company and of the owners, Hal and Norma Taussig.
Julie Siebel
IT Director
In my limited spare time I write and I cook. Someday I would love to visit Nafplio or Tuscany, or just about anywhere Untours travels, and eat my way across Europe!
Jonathan Coleman
CEO
UnTours is an amazing example of how a travel company can
change the world. I’m so proud to help lead this innovative and impactful company and to ensure that the UnTours Foundation

Paris will always be my favorite haunt, because as much as you think you know or have seen, there’s likely a surprise to be enjoyed just around the corner!

I greatly enjoy the diversity of my responsibilities at Untours, the company's values, and the opportunity to connect with people from other cultures.
Dee McConnell
Coordinator - Untours Ventures and Cruises
I enjoy the variety in what I do. Whether I am taking care of our Swiss Untourists, or selling a cruise, I enjoy the different hats I wear.
Amber Martin
Program Director - Italy
I discovered Italy through art and continue to feel at home in Rome and Florence, even without a paintbrush.
