This 8 hour high-end experience takes you deep into Seville’s culture and history, all led by a cast of local historians and experts.

You’ll start with two of Seville’s most important architectural landmarks: the Alcázar and the Cathedral. You'll then slip into spaces off the tourist path, such as private areas of Seville's historic City Hall, a private palace still lived in today, and a sacred brotherhood's richly decorated chapel - a "jewel box" that is almost never seen by outsiders.

Along the way, your host will contextualize the city's Catholic, Moorish, and Jewish legacies, overlap, exchange, and transformation. You’ll walk through the old city on a route of nunneries, where you’ll taste pastries made by cloistered sisters.

The experience closes with one or two musical interludes, depending on availability: watch a flamenco artist rehearse and/or sit in on the Seville Symphony Orchestra (ROSS) rehearsal—with a brief meet-and-talk with the conductor when schedules allow.

If you have just one day in Seville and want a deep, curated view of its cultural and spiritual life, this is the tour to do. You’ll enter private spaces rarely open to visitors, from a working private palace home to sacred spaces. You’ll move through Seville’s layers of identity — Catholic brotherhoods, Muslim heritage, Jewish quarter, artistic revival — with each site offering a new perspective.

You’ll also engage directly with Seville’s living culture. The pastries of the convents, the private flamenco conversation, engagement with a classical conductor, and personal encounters make this more than an architectural or historical experience — it’s emotional, sensorial, and human. The day is designed for those who want Seville not just in snapshots, but in memory and meaning.

With private transport and expert guidance, this experience is seamless and immersive for travelers looking to understand Seville on a deeper level.

Sit down to a carefully curated Sevillian lunch that captures the flavors of Andalusia in one meal. While the set meal may differ based on seasonality, here is what a typical lunch includes: Begin with salmorejo, Seville’s iconic chilled tomato soup, served with a topping of hard-boiled egg and jamón ibérico, alongside crisp, golden croquetas. For the main course, enjoy arroz marinero, a seafood rice dish infused with the flavors of the coast. Dessert is a creamy cheesecake, balancing tradition with indulgence. One drink of your choice — beer, wine, soft drink, or water — is included.

If you have food restrictions, let Reyes know in advance when you make the booking. 

This set meal offers a snapshot of Seville’s culinary identity in a single sitting. Each dish reflects local tastes and traditions, from the refreshing simplicity of salmorejo to the depth of seafood rice. Paired with a glass of Spanish wine or beer, the menu balances heritage with conviviality — the way Sevillanos have gathered for centuries: around food, stories, and shared time at the table.

Seville lunch experience with salmorejo, jamón ibérico, croquetas, seafood rice and more.

A Sevillian Table

Continue on foot through Seville’s quieter streets. Stop at a nunnery or two, where you’ll try their handmade pastries and learn about the cloistered traditions that keep this culinary legacy alive. You’ll witness the magic of the Symphony Orchestra as they rehearse, and meet and greet its conductor - or hear a flamenco artist present a personal reflection on the art — not a show, but a storytelling performance about how flamenco shapes identity and belonging in Seville.

Rather than checking off more sites, this final stage is about texture and feeling. From convent kitchens to conversations with artists, you’ll access stories and rituals that rarely make it into guidebooks. The combination of place, voice, and flavor leaves you with a full-bodied experience of Seville’s heart and soul.

Enjoy cloistered convent pastries, a classical musical rehearsal, and a personal flamenco interlude.

Sweet Traditions & Living Art

Begin your day with guided visits to the Real Alcázar and Seville Cathedral. At the Alcázar, explore its mix of Christian and Mudéjar architecture, tracing the layering of Islamic and European aesthetics. Then enter the vast Gothic cathedral and learn about its transformation from mosque to church, including Christopher Columbus’ tomb and the Giralda tower.

Rather than rushing through, your guide will connect these two icons to the living history of Seville — from Almohad foundations to modern-day rituals. You’ll receive interpretive insight into details most visitors miss, and your ticket includes skip-the-line access and quiet time to absorb the atmosphere.

Explore Seville's most iconic landmarks — the Alcázar and the Cathedral — with expert insight.

Next, visit a private palace still lived in today, where your host will walk you through intimate spaces layered with art, furniture, and family history. Finally, step into a brotherhood chapel closed to the public, a jewel-like space used for devotional preparation during Semana Santa.

These locations are not open to regular tourists. Each stop is made possible through local relationships and reflects a different facet of Seville’s cultural infrastructure — political, aristocratic, and spiritual. Your guide will help unpack the aesthetics and the symbolism embedded in each site.

Step into private spaces, from City Hall chambers to an active palace and secret chapel.

A comprehensive, immersive, and memorable nightlife tour to experience the best of Madrid's wonderfully authentic nightlife, with a mix of history, cultural enrichment, and local food.

Your adventure begins with a visit to the Museo de Historia de Madrid, where you'll uncover the rich tapestry of Madrid's past and present. This sets the stage for an evening of exploration and discovery in two of Madrid's most dynamic neighborhoods: Chueca - a neighborhood celebrated for its inclusivity and one of Madrid's most stylish neighborhoods - and Malasaña, the heart of the Movida Madrileña movement, with a blend of historical cafes and trendy bars reflecting its evolving artistic pulse, that has now transformed into the city's trendiest enclave.

The tour includes three carefully selected stops for drinks and tapas, allowing you to savor the flavors of Madrid while soaking in the local ambiance. Each location is chosen for its unique contribution to Madrid's culinary and cultural landscape.

Close to Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol. Within a short walk from Palacio Real and Plaza de España. Bilbao station on subway Line 1 

Navigating Madrid's night scene as a visitor can be challenging, yet missing out on it is to overlook a vital part of the city's essence. This tour transcends these barriers, offering an intimate evening that seamlessly blends into the local lifestyle. You’ll experience Madrid from the inside, mingling with locals in their favorite neighborhoods.

Led by an expert in Spanish art, history, and language, each location springs to life through stories that intertwine the past and present, art and reality. This narrative is enriched by a curated selection of Spanish tapas and local wine. 

As you move from one establishment to the next, you’ll engage in discussions about Spanish culture, fostering a deeper understanding and connection.

Morocco

This is a scenic day hike across the Kik Plateau, perched at approximately 1,800 meters in the High Atlas Mountains. The trek offers sweeping views over terraced farmland, Lake Takerkoust, and distant peaks, including Mount Toubkal. 

Starting from Asni, the route winds through traditional Berber villages built from earth and stone, where daily life continues much as it has for generations. Along the way, you’ll stop for tea with a local family and enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the plateau, surrounded by olive groves and open sky.

This hike is ideal for those who’ve already seen the classic Atlas mountain routes and want to explore the landscape further while engaging with the local communities. 

The walk takes 5-6 hours with stops and is best done in spring or autumn, when the plateau is green and the light is sharp. Though not technically difficult, there are some steady inclines and exposed terrain, so good walking shoes and sun protection are recommended.

The Kik Plateau offers an expansive, open landscape that contrasts with the steeper, more rugged trails of the central High Atlas. Its distinctive limestone outcroppings and gently undulating terrain give you a different kind of hiking experience—one defined by wide horizons and silence. From the plateau, you can take in panoramic views that stretch across the Haouz plains, Lake Takerkoust and the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas.

You’ll walk through traditional Berber villages where adobe homes blend into the hillsides, and farming continues as it has for generations. Because the area sees fewer visitors than other Atlas trails, you’ll engage more directly with both the landscape and the people who live here. Spring is especially vibrant, with wildflowers and green pastures creating a vivid contrast to the dry plains below.

Also, Kik Plateau's accessibility from Marrakech makes it ideal for those seeking a day hike that combines natural beauty, cultural immersion and tranquility.

This is an immersive, participatory storytelling journey set within Marrakesh’s ancient medina—an experience designed for families or close-knit groups seeking something more extraordinary than a typical walking tour. At its core is a private treasure quest: a live narrative inspired by Moroccan folklore, architecture, and oral storytelling tradition.

You’ll begin in the storied Jamaa el Fna square, where you're given a parchment map and ceremonial roles rooted in myth and history. From there, you’ll follow a path through seven hidden locations—each unfolding with its own atmospheric clue, folkloric character, or living riddle. The goal: reach the lost Music Palace, uncover the tale of the hidden prince and princess, and claim your Moroccan treasure. Along the way, the medina becomes your playground. With guided performance, handcrafted artifacts, and moments of delight, this is a modern-day folktale written through movement, memory, and the magic of Marrakesh.

This rare-access, exclusive cultural encounter is choreographed by a local master storyteller as a private, high-touch storytelling experience. Every element is artfully designed: the map is handcrafted, the palace is real, and the characters you meet—genies, guides, and guardians—are performed by trained Moroccan storytellers drawing from centuries-old traditions.

The experience moves through seven sites within the medina, each chosen for its symbolic connection to Marrakesh’s layered past. Rather than sightseeing, you become part of a live narrative—decoding stories, solving riddles, and navigating moral and mythological thresholds. Each participant adopts a ceremonial role designed to foster creativity, play, and reflection.

The use of real medina locations—markets, courtyards, tucked-away corners—creates a magical gameboard. Puzzles are inspired by Amazigh symbols, Andalusian tiles, Sufi poetry—turning the experience into an active exploration of Morocco’s layered heritage.

Storytelling Adventure in Marrakesh: Folklore quest with clues, riddles & treasure in the medina.

The Grand Medina Quest

This exclusive private experience is designed for 7 participants at a fixed total of €1610 (€230 per person). Fewer guests are welcome to book but a supplemental fee applies to meet the minimum; the host will bring additional performers to play supporting roles as needed. Included is a 2-hour immersive storytelling quest through seven locations in the Medina and live performances by Moroccan storytellers and actors. The experience concludes at a Museum with tea and a snack served on the terrace.

Bring your curiosity, a sense of play, and comfortable shoes for navigating the medina streets. The rest—maps, roles, riddles, and refreshment—is taken care of.

Ah, that’s part of the mystery. Once you’ve booked, Zouhair will share the secret starting point via Fernwayer chat—consider it your first clue.

Zouhair is a Moroccan master storyteller with deep roots in Marrakesh’s medina. Trained in the art of hikayat and immersive theater, he specializes in crafting participatory narratives that draw from Moroccan folklore, history, and ritual. As the architect of this experience, he guides your journey while orchestrating a team of performers—genies, guardians, and guides—each drawn from Marrakesh’s living tradition of oral storytelling. His background in cultural heritage, education, and performance ensures the experience is not only imaginative but grounded in authenticity.

This 7-day itinerary offers a layered introduction to Catalonia, curated by Fernwayer experience-maker and collaborator Manila DiMaira. A native of Sicily and longtime resident of Barcelona, Manila blends insight with a deep curiosity. Her suggested route balances the bold energy of the city with the slower rhythm of the countryside — from Barcelona’s cultural core to the vineyards of Priorat, the wetlands of the Ebro Delta, and the historic charm of Girona.
Begin with three days in Barcelona, where Manila recommends focusing not on checklists but on rhythm: explore historic neighborhoods, check out design ateliers, sample Catalan cuisine, and seek out the quieter corners still alive with local tradition. | Head south into the wine country of Priorat, a lesser-known region with rolling hills and medieval villages. Stay in Siurana, a cliffside hamlet with sweeping views and access to local winemakers. | Continue to the Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s richest ecological regions. Here, you can bike through rice paddies, watch migratory birds, and experience a side of Catalonia rarely included in mainstream itineraries. | End in Girona, a city of ancient walls, celebrated chefs, and architectural quiet. It offers a slower, more introspective contrast to the pulse of Barcelona.
This itinerary reflects what Manila calls the “true essence of Catalonia” — a place of cultural pride, natural beauty, and distinct local identity. Manila first arrived in Barcelona more than two decades ago, while finishing her studies in Rome. She needed an internship for her thesis and chose Barcelona without expecting how quickly she’d feel at home.“Barcelona, 22 years ago, was a different place,” she says. “It was less cosmopolitan, more local. I remember wandering through narrow streets and finding tiny bars with real flamenco. It felt genuinely lived in.”
 “Tourism has definitely changed things,” she admits. “Places like La Rambla are overcrowded. Many locals have been pushed out by the rise in tourist rentals. But Catalans are proud of their traditions. They’ve started resisting these changes to preserve the city’s character.” That character is what Manila has grown to love. “I chose Barcelona because I felt an immediate connection. The Mediterranean lifestyle, the weather, the proximity to mountains and sea — it feels like home but also stretches me outside my comfort zone.” She relishes the contrast to her native Sicily. “I can take a train and be skiing in the Pyrenees in just over an hour. Where else do you get that?”
What keeps her in Barcelona is the balance of tradition and openness. “The cuisine, the olive groves, the vineyards — they remind me of southern Italy, but they’re uniquely Catalan.” And the city’s connectivity has made it easy to stay rooted while maintaining close ties to Italy. She speaks with admiration about the people: “Catalans are proud, resilient, and united. They have a strong sense of identity and community. Whether through demonstrations or cultural festivals, they come together. They’re efficient and organized, but also keep that relaxed Mediterranean vibe. It’s a unique combination.”

7-day itinerary in Catalonia through Barcelona, Priorat, Siurana, Ebro Delta, Girona, and Cadaqués.

United States

Living the Pulse of Porto means tasting its traditions, stepping inside centuries-old landmarks, and letting the Douro set the rhythm of your days. In three days you’ll move from taverns filled with petiscos to valley vineyards, riverside boat decks, and cathedral steps that have anchored the city for generations. Designed for travelers who want immersion over checklists, this journey blends guided encounters with moments of quiet discovery, letting Porto’s pulse carry you.
DAY 1 – PETISCOS AND VIEWS | Begin with a guided food tour that introduces Porto through its flavors and stories. Tasting petiscos and Port wine becomes a path through the São Bento station murals, the Dom Luís I Bridge, and corners of daily life. In the evening, climb Torre dos Clérigos, where the Baroque tower rises above the old city and the river glimmers below. The day closes over dinner in the heart of Porto, where the atmosphere feels as local as the wine.
DAY 2 – DOURO HERITAGE AND CHURCHES | Leave the city for a guided day in the Douro Valley, where family-run wineries share the generations-long craft of winemaking and lunch is prepared at the table of a local vintner. Back in Porto, the evening turns toward Igreja de São Francisco, a space where Gothic bones and Baroque gold reveal the layers of faith and power. Dinner follows along the riverfront, with seafood and wine echoing the Douro’s abundance.
DAY 3 – RIVER JOURNEYS AND CATHEDRALS | The final day carries you onto the Douro with a guided boat experience that blends water, wine, and the flavors of a traditional sardine lunch. Returning to the city, step into Porto Cathedral, a landmark that has shaped the skyline and spirit of the city across centuries. Evening is left to reflection, with Porto’s rhythm accompanying the close of your journey.
WHERE TO STAY IN PORTO | Porto invites you to choose your base according to your rhythm. Ribeira puts you directly on the riverfront, with sweeping views and easy access to landmarks, though the nights are lively. Cedofeita offers a more local feel, with art galleries, cafés, and quieter streets just beyond the center. For those who prefer evenings by the sea, Foz provides Atlantic calm while keeping Porto close at hand.

Living the Pulse of Porto

3 days in Porto with food tours, Douro Valley wineries, river cruises, and historic landmarks.

Athens is a place where ancient history and everyday life meet at every corner. From marble ruins to modern murals, the city is layered with memory, myth, and movement. This three-day itinerary invites you to experience Athens not as a checklist of monuments, but as a living conversation between past and present. Through guided encounters, sensory discoveries, and sacred pauses, each day opens a different door to the city’s many lives.

DAY 1 – HISTORY IN GRAFFITI AND STONE | Begin in Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, where the streets pulse with creativity and protest. The Urban Canvas of Athens takes you through layers of mural, message, and meaning, ending with a hands-on workshop and a piece of your own to carry home. Then head to the National Museum of Contemporary Art to explore bold works that question the narratives of history. End the day at the Acropolis, but from a different angle: walking the lesser-seen paths of the hill that shaped the Western world. As the sun sets, dine at Point A with the Parthenon glowing above.

DAY 2 – MEALS, HILLS, AND MOONLIGHT | Start your morning at the Varvakeios Market for a cooking class with a Greek local, learning to craft gyros and taste your way through spices, olives, and cheese. After lunch, wander through the hidden village of Anafiotika and climb Filopappou Hill for sweeping views of the city. Let the evening unfold with Under the Athenian Sky, an open-air cinema experience filled with conversation, food, and the quiet glow of Athens by night.

DAY 3 – RITUALS AND REVERENCE | Your final day brings you into rhythm with something older. In Ilioupoli, Cultivating Gratitude offers a guided ritual rooted in Demeter’s myth, the harvest, and the practice of reflection. Later, pause in the shade of the National Garden and witness the changing of the guards at Syntagma Square. End in Piraeus with Rebetiko, Red Lights, and the echo of old sailor songs. Between bites and melodies, you’ll feel the weight of memory, celebration, and time.

This journey is not about rushing ruins. It’s a curated immersion, shaped by texture, taste, silence, and spark. You’ll leave Athens not just with photos, but with a piece of the city imprinted on your pace, your palate, and your way of seeing. Three days in Athens. One city. Countless echoes.

WHERE TO STAY IN ATHENS | When it comes to where to stay, Athens offers neighborhoods for every travel style. Plaka is charming and close to ancient sites, while Psyrri and Exarchia are full of life, street art, and cafés. For a quieter stay with Acropolis views, Koukaki is a great base. And if you’re looking for sea breeze and space, consider Piraeus for a local feel near the coast. Choose what fits your rhythm.

A Passage Through Morocco

This 3-day Santorini itinerary invites you to experience the island slowly, through light, taste and texture. From quiet swims along the Aegean coast to hands-on Greek cooking, artisan visits, winery tours and a sunset boat trip, each day is crafted for travelers who value intention over itinerary. You’ll move between volcanic landscapes and village kitchens, caldera views and underground wine cellars, with time to pause, savor and connect. It’s a journey rooted in the senses — perfect for those drawn to authenticity, beauty and the quiet charm of the Cyclades.

DAY 1 – MONOLITHOS TO MEGALOCHORI | The first morning begins on the island’s eastern coast, where Monolithos Beach offers a quiet start beside calm waters and soft black sand. It’s a gentle stretch of coast, ideal for slowing down after arrival. By late morning, you’ll head inland to the village of Megalochori for a guided cooking class held in a cave kitchen. The afternoon unfolds in rhythm with local flavors, stories, and shared plates, all crafted by hand. As the sun fades, the caldera becomes the backdrop to a peaceful evening along the island’s edge.

DAY 2 – VLYCHADA TO THE CALDERA | Morning light casts long shadows over the sculpted cliffs of Vlychada Beach, a place known for its otherworldly rock formations and stillness. After time by the water, the late morning brings a quiet brunch with sea views before the guided experience begins. The rest of the day is a curated passage through Santorini’s villages and outlooks, led by a local expert who knows how to read the island’s moods. It all culminates on the water, with a private sunset cruise along the caldera where cliffs glow gold and the sea softens to silence.

Santorini in Quiet Rhythm

3 days in Santorini with Aegean coast swims, Greek cooking, winery visits and a sunset boat tour.

This 7-day itinerary through Portugal’s western Algarve invites you to experience the region through the lens of João Ministro—Fernwayer experience-maker, expert in responsible tourism and regional development, and a lifelong student of the land. 
You'll begin in Faro, then move inland through Loulé, São Brás de Alportel, and Alte, before curving west toward Lagos, Monchique, Silves, and Olhão. This is a route shaped by local knowledge, seasonal rhythms, and hands-on experience. Along the way, you’ll meet the people who carry the Algarve’s quieter heritage: cork workers, carob farmers, weavers, bakers, and storytellers. You’ll walk the terraced hills of Monchique, visit regional markets, and take part in craft workshops that preserve time-honored techniques. At every turn, you’ll find sensory connections—fresh herbs, grilled sardines, almond cakes—woven into daily life. João sees this kind of travel as essential to understanding the Algarve. 
For most visitors, the Algarve conjures images of beaches and seafood. But João’s Algarve is more textured—what he calls the “poetic Algarve.” He cites writers like Sofia de Melo Breyner Andresen and José Saramago, who captured the soul of the region in images of sunsets, fruit, wind, and silence. For João, the true essence of the Algarve lies in its sensory landscape and the stories attached to it.
“In my youth,” he recalls, “many people came here, to the Algarve, and my family—like many others—had small farms. I spent a lot of time working on these farms growing carob, figs, almonds, and olives.” These daily rituals shaped his relationship to the land. “Everybody knows the Algarve for its oranges,” he adds, 
remembering his family’s orchard. “I have good memories of my mother and my sister making lots of cakes—almond cakes, and sometimes orange cakes too.”
What João wants travelers to experience is that same connection: the gestures and flavors that tie people to place. “We still recognize these things—the tradition of fishing, the dry fruits, the rituals of picking and preparing. This is what I want travelers to connect with.”
Still, he knows it's not always simple. “The Algarve is quite diverse. It’s not just one story. A good connection to the people here is important. Travelers are interested in how we live, how we spend the day, what we do.” This itinerary is João’s answer to that challenge: an immersive route where nature, food, craft, and memory guide the pace.
