This experience takes you to the heart of northern Sardinia, where Mount Limbara rises with its unmistakable granite formations and sweeping views. With an elevation of 1,360 meters, it’s the second highest mountain range on the island, yet few travelers venture into its vast forests, shaped by wind, silence, and time. You’ll explore this extraordinary terrain with a landscape photographer who knows every curve and contrast of the mountain, a place he’s called home since childhood.

Starting from the lower slopes, you’ll walk through ancient holm oak woods, one of the largest forests in Italy. The route gradually opens to reveal granite sculptures carved by nature and covered in wild thyme, lavender, and endemic flowers. Along the way, you’ll learn to read the mountain's forms through your lens — stopping to compose, observe, and capture. The pace is slow, meditative, allowing space for light and landscape to meet, inviting you to see, not just shoot.

Mount Limbara doesn’t look like the rest of Sardinia. It doesn’t sound like it either. Here, the wind carves the granite into impossible shapes, and the scent of cistus and wild herbs accompanies every step. This experience is an invitation to discover a landscape that feels almost untouched. Its uniqueness lies in its contrasts: wild and delicate, rugged and richly scented, solitary and deeply expressive.

What makes this moment special is the presence of someone who belongs to this mountain — a local landscape photographer who has spent years documenting its moods, seasons, and hidden corners. His knowledge is not just technical, but emotional. Through his eyes, you’ll be able to notice things most would miss: a shadow on a stone, a movement in the fog, a rare bloom tucked among the rocks.

This is not a photography class or a hike with set goals — it’s a journey into the sensorial identity of a place.

A passionate and experienced boatman and guide - born and raised in Venice, Davide De Giorgi has an extensive knowledge of the city’s lagoons, which he acquired through his family’s fishing background and his own experiences sailing around on a vintage motorboat. This cultural insight, along with Davide’s studies in anthropology and languages, make his tours an unforgettable immersive experience.

This experience takes you on a journey through the rise and decline of the Medici family, exploring two extraordinary sites tied to their legacy. You begin at the Medici Chapels, the monumental burial place behind San Lorenzo. Far more than a tomb, this complex was designed to glorify the family’s power. You'll visit the Chapel of the Princes, a stunning display of Florentine mosaics and colored marbles, and Michelangelo’s New Sacristy, where art and dynastic ambition meet in sculpted form.

Afterwards, you stroll through the heart of Florence, pausing for a coffee along the way, before reaching Palazzo Pitti. Once the lavish residence of the grand dukes, this palace reflects centuries of Medici grandeur. You'll explore masterpieces by Raphael, Titian and Rubens, walk through the royal apartments, and gaze out toward the Boboli Gardens. Alongside beauty and magnificence, you’ll also uncover the private stories and scandals that shaped the dynasty’s dramatic fall.

What makes this experience unique is the way it reveals the Medici not only as patrons of the arts or political players, but as lasting architects of Florence itself. Their influence shaped the city’s culture and institutions, but also its very structure — from sacred chapels to private palaces, from hidden symbols to grand urban planning decisions that still define the cityscape today.

Guided by someone who knows Florence intimately and has spent years exploring its layers, you’ll gain access to insights that go beyond the surface. This is a journey through art and architecture, but also an exploration of how a single family forged the image of a city and projected its power through time and space.

Whether it’s a mosaic, a painting or a room with a view, each stop in this experience is a key to understanding how the Medici helped write Florence’s past — and, in many ways, its present.

Walking Tour in Florence exploring Medici chapels, palaces, mosaics, and grand ducal history.

The Medici Cast

What’s included: Full guidance, museum entries, coffee break.

You'll meet Guido in Piazza della Madonna degli Aldobrandini 1.

Guido Scattola is a licensed guide with over six years of experience bringing Italy’s cultural heritage to life. Born in Venice and raised in Tuscany, he found in Florence a city that captured both his heart and his curiosity. Since 2018, he has led visitors through its streets, museums, and quiet corners, sharing not only the grandeur of Renaissance art and architecture but also the subtle charm of the city’s lesser-known stories.

What makes Guido’s approach unique is his ability to balance the majestic with the intimate. Whether he’s guiding you through the opulent halls of the Medici, exploring the legacy of Dante, or unveiling the traditions behind Florentine fashion, he does so with contagious enthusiasm and deep knowledge. For Guido, every detail in Florence tells a story — and his passion lies in revealing how those stories weave together into something unforgettable.

Spain

This full-day tour begins in Bilbao and takes you by private car through the landscapes, towns and cultural memory of Basque Country — from industrial past to prehistoric art, from coastline to forest.

You start at the Bizkaia Bridge in Getxo, a UNESCO World Heritage site and symbol of the region’s industrial legacy. From there, continue inland to Guernica, the town made famous by Picasso's legendary anti-war painting - find out how the area was impacted by the Civil War.

Next, the road turns coastal. You'll visit fishing villages and dramatic viewpoints along the Bay of Biscay — beaches beloved by surfers and headlands featured in Game of Thrones. A seasonal Basque lunch highlights local flavors.

Later, the magical Bosque de Oma where trees are adorned with paintings, awaits, as do the Santimamiñe caves, home to prehistoric art. End the day with txakoli tasting overlooking vineyards, as your guide helps reflect on how each stop brought you closer to Basque Country's unique spirit.

The Basques are among Europe’s earliest known inhabitants, with evidence suggesting people lived here over 200,000 years ago. This deep history makes the Basque Country unique within Spain and much of Europe. It’s most clearly seen in the Basque language, whose origins remain a mystery even to linguists.

This full-day trip through the Basque countryside and along the Bay of Biscay brings you closer to that long, proud history. Your experience is enriched by a host deeply knowledgeable about the region’s culture, art, and post-industrial evolution.

At each stop, history reveals itself through physical traces — a cave wall, a war-damaged town square, a transporter bridge still in use. You’ll meet local experts — like the guide at the winery — who bring their own perspectives to the story. This is the Basque Country as it’s understood by those who live here and offered to you through their lens.

Your first stop will be to the Puente Bizkaia, one of the area's most iconic industrial monuments. This is a great starting point for understanding the Basuqe Country's industrial history and character. From the top, you'll also get stunning views of the river and surrounding valley. In the town of Getxo (which the bridge takes you to) you will see examples of 19th mansions, built by the wealth accumulated by the area's industrial magnates.

Next, you'll be driven to Guernica, the subject of Picasso's anti-war and anti-fascist painting which hangs in Madrid's Reina Sofia. Here, you'll be taken on a walking tour through the town and into the assembly house. This provides the perfect excuse to find out more about Basque culture, history, and language. 

This experience brings together the two forces that have most shaped the Basque Country: industry and politics. The Puente Bizkaia is not just an engineering marvel, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site that represents the region’s transformation into an industrial powerhouse. Crossing into Getxo reveals another layer—the elegant mansions built from newfound wealth. 

The journey then turns to Guernica, a town synonymous worldwide with resistance, resilience, and Basque identity. Walking through its assembly house, where local governance has been practiced for centuries, connects you to deep-rooted traditions of autonomy and democracy. Few places allow visitors to see both the grandeur of industrial prosperity and the scars of political struggle in one day.

Get to know Bilbao's industrial and political heritage through some key monuments and locations.

Bilbao History 101

The Bay of Biscay is famous for its beautiful coastline, beaches, and food. At Mundaka you'll stop off for a panaromic view, which changes dramatically between low tide and high tide. You'll then be taken to the historic town of Bermeo for a walking tour.

Heading inland you'll find two examples of Basque artistry. Santimamiñe is a cave that contains Paleolithic paintings and engravings dating back 14,000. These depictions of bison, horses, and deer give us a glimpse into a prehistoric world. This cave is only accessible April-October. Meanwhile, nearby, in the Bosque de Oma you'll find pine tress painted by Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola in the 1980s.  The geometric shapes, eyes, animals, and colorful forms you'll find here change depending on where you're standing, playing with your perspective in the forest.

This journey captures the essence of the Basque Coast in a way that blends scenery, culture, and cuisine. Mundaka is legendary for being home to one of the longest left-hand breaks in the world, making it a pilgrimage site for wave-riders. Yet the experience doesn’t stop at natural beauty—the town of Bermeo adds a vibrant cultural layer.

The cave and forest add another dimension completely. Here, you'll see art 14,000 years old, as well as paintings on living tress. These are two dramatically different examples of art and culture interacting with nature, and provide an opportunity to witness the full length and breadth of Basque culture.

Indulge in all the the sights and sounds the Bay of Biscay and the Basque countryside.

Maritime and Inland Cultures

Before being taken back to Bilbao, you'll go to San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, an islet connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge, home to a 10th century hermitage. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe was made famous thanks to its use as a location for the Season 8 of Games of Thrones.

This region is legendary for its cuisine. M'Angel will take you to a hand-picked spot, either inland or by the coast, depending on the season, where you'll enjoy beautiful wines and regions dishes of the highest quality. 

You'll get to enjoy some choice regional wines and pintxos at a txakoli winery. Txakoli wine tends to be white and is known for its citrusy and herby palate.

This experience blends cinematic landscapes with the region’s distinctive wine culture. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is one of the most breathtaking sights in northern Spain—a craggy island crowned with a hermitage that has stood for over a thousand years. Walking its stone bridge and climbing the winding steps feels like stepping into legend, an impression magnified by its role as a Game of Thrones filming location. 

From there, the transition to a txakoli winery highlights another Basque treasure. Unlike any other Spanish wine, txakoli is crisp, lightly sparkling, and uniquely tied to the coastal terroir. Enjoying a glass with views of rolling vineyards and the sea beyond offers a perfect, sensory way to end the day.

Visit a unique hermitage and taste local wine, before heading back to Bilbao.

This walking tour explores San Sebastian’s cultural identity, maritime roots and architecture. It begins at Tabakalera, a former tobacco factory now transformed into a center for culture and creativity. From there, walk to the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, where a marble crucifix by renowned Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida offers a moment of stillness.

If visiting June to September, take a short boat ride to Santa Clara Island, where artist Cristina Iglesias has created a sculptural installation inside the lighthouse — a powerful encounter between art and sea. 

Back on shore, the Kursaal’s angular modernist geometry and the Miramar Palace gardens, with views over La Concha Bay, reflect two distinct visions of San Sebastian’s cultural ambition.

The tour ends at a traditional bar anchored in local rhythm for pintxos and a glass of wine. Along the way, your host reveals what makes San Sebastian feel both intimate and alive — its streets, its customs, and the sea that shapes them.

Home to renowned international film and jazz festivals, San Sebastian has long had a touch of glamour — a legacy of its time as a popular resort for aristocracy in the 19th century. The Miramar Palace, now a university building, was once a royal residence. The city also has a deep maritime heritage, visible in its layout, landmarks, and cultural life.

More than a standard downtown walking tour, this route includes stops hand-picked by a host who is an expert in art, local culture and heritage. You'll come to understand the belle époque, French-inspired architecture that defines much of the city’s historical core. The installations and sculptures by Basque artists you'll see along the way, including works by Chillida and Iglesias, offer a deeper connection to both traditional and contemporary expressions of Basque identity.

This is the perfect introductory tour of San Sebastian for travelers who want to go beneath the surface and truly connect with the city and its surroundings.

France

This city experience moves through Bordeaux’s grand heart, from the sumptuous cathedral to the Garonne, linking signature squares and riverfront perspectives. The focus is history in high definition: how the city grew, rebuilt and reinvented itself across centuries.

Major episodes meet smaller lives that left marks in courtyards and arcades, so well-known vistas gain depth and side streets carry new meaning. Chronology clicks into place under the Grand Théâtre's colonnades and along the river’s edge.

Your host Hubert is a Bordeaux-born historian and licensed guide, and his storytelling brings precision and momentum, connecting civic power, trade, faith and everyday work across the Water Mirror, Quinconces and the old gates without turning the route into a checklist. The result is a vivid, layered reading of the city that reveals what first glances miss, the kind of historical immersion only a local with years of study can deliver.

This experience stands apart for scope and depth: you move from Bordeaux’s origins to the present, meet Eleanor of Aquitaine — the princess who became queen of France and England — and confront the 18th-century slave trade within the wider story it belongs to.

The nickname “Little Paris” makes sense in its architecture, while the history of the Bordeaux vineyard, France’s largest, frames how the region formed. You move through a single narrative that binds grand architecture, big-picture history, and the everyday stories of Bordeaux’s people.

Hubert is a historian by training, and that expertise gives you a deeper perspective. You get clear connections rather than loose anecdotes. Along the way you also taste two local signatures—the canelé and the Dune Blanche—punctuating the route as the story deepens. The result is a city narrative that feels precise, compelling, and alive.

Argentina

This private ceramics experience invites you to create a mate drinking gourd from scratch.

While you shape and create your personalized gourd, you will sip on mate chosen by Lucila. Sharing mate (a caffeinated herbal beverage) is an integral component of Argentine culture and you'll come to understand why. The experience is further complemented by a spread of facturas and chipá (local pastries). 

No previous pottery experience is needed—all you need is a desire to enjoy, learn, and share. As the finished ceramic gourd must be fired after the workshop, you will need to collect it one week later or arrange to have it shipped. This cost is not included in the price of the experience.

Designed by a local artisan in Mendoza, this craft experience focuses on the culture of mate as much as the pottery aspect; you'll make a mate gourd of your own while sipping the drink cherished by Argentinians from all corners of the country and all walks of life. As you taste mate, hear its significance, and sculpt your own little gourd, you'll graze on facturas Mendocinas and come to recognize how these pastries differ from region to region. Upon "graduation" you can continue the tradition of mate on your future travels and share the custom with loved ones back home. Fusing traditional crafts and gastronomy, this cultural workshop invites you to seize a moment of calm where creativity, enjoyment, human connection, and mindfulness flourish.

This is a photographic exploration of CityLife, Milan’s bold and architecturally significant expression of contemporary design. Starting among the district’s three iconic towers — Isozaki’s sleek vertical “Dritto,” Hadid’s dynamic spiral “Storto,” and Libeskind’s concave “Curvo” — you’ll frame their distinct profiles against the setting sun and evolving skyline. Emanuele, a professional photographer deeply familiar with Milan’s urban transformations, shares techniques to capture structure, scale, and subtle reflections in glass and steel.

Your path continues into the open expanse of CityLife Park, where architectural precision meets green serenity. You’ll focus on the play of light and shadows on curves, benches, fountains, and paths, revealing the district’s elegant rhythm. Emanuele guides you in finding tension between built form and organic textures.

The experience blends design and atmosphere: a refined exploration of a futuristic quarter that helps reshape Milan’s identity.

This experience unfolds in one of Milan’s most visionary districts, where three of the world’s leading architects —Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind, and Arata Isozaki — have reshaped the skyline with bold, sculptural towers. Unlike the city’s historic core, CityLife rarely features in traditional itineraries, yet it reveals a marked shift in Milan’s identity: fluid lines, reflective surfaces, and sweeping urban volumes that respond to space and light in unexpected ways.

Guided by Emanuele, a professional photographer who has explored this area for years, you’ll learn how to engage with its complex geometry — sometimes by highlighting the skyline in your frame, sometimes by isolating abstract details brought to life by the golden light of dusk. His approach blends technical skill with instinctive observation, helping you move beyond documentation toward expressive visual storytelling.

Photo Walk in Milan’s CityLife district, capturing modern towers, curves, and urban geometry.

The CityLife Futurescape

Expert guidance through the walk, photographic tips, a coffee break. During the experience, you’ll be photographed and receive high-resolution images.

Comfortable shoes, your camera, an extra battery and memory card.

You’ll meet Emanuele in front of California Bakery in Piazza Tre Torri.

Emanuele Dello Strologo lives between Genoa and Milan and has been photographing with passion for over 12 years. His journey began as a self-taught photographer and quickly evolved into professional collaborations, first with Corbis and then with Getty Images. Through these experiences, he shaped the visual language that defines his work today. Emanuele focuses on reportage, portraiture, street and black-and-white photography — genres that continue to inspire him deeply. He often carries his camera with him, always on the lookout for meaningful moments in everyday life. His images reflect a keen eye for detail and a deep curiosity about the world around him.

This 2-hour experience introduces you to the culture of mate, Argentina’s most iconic social ritual. You'll gather around the table for an engaging introduction to the origins of mate and the legends tied to it, followed by hands-on guidance in preparing the infusion the Argentine way.

Pronounced mah-tay, it’s rare to see a Porteño without this caffeinated herbal drink of yerba mate leaves in hand. But mate is more than just a beverage—it’s about sharing, forming connections, and building community. You’ll learn the traditional preparation method, rooted in Indigenous customs, history and identity, and experience the ritual first-hand. The way mate is passed around in a group—even the order—follows unspoken rules rooted in respect and hospitality.

All materials to prepare your own mate are included. The tastings include high-end varieties of mate including with herbs, sweet mate, cooked mate, and tereré. The ritual is accompanied by traditional Argentine biscuits and bread.

This cozy experience is designed to feel like meeting friends to share a daily ritual cherished by Argentinians. Your host uses mate as a vessel to share her culture—infusing the experience with history, tradition and storytelling. 

Mate is often the backdrop to everyday life in Buenos Aires—shared at work, home, and between friends. It's a ritual that crosses generations and social groups. Through this experience, you'll come to understand how the act of sharing mate fosters trust, invites conversation, and holds a sacred kind of rhythm. Even the silence between sips is part of the connection. Your host will explain how the Mate variation of Buenos Aires reflects regional preferences and evolving traditions.

This experience is ideal for travelers who want to connect with local culture in a meaningful way with something Porteños make time for every day. You might even try your hand at being the cebador (the person who serves the mate), and understand its social responsibility. 

Mate Tasting Experience in Buenos Aires exploring Argentina’s most beloved ritual with a local host.

The Ritual of Mate

Small tastings of high-quality yerba mate from different regions and including herbs, sweet mate, cooked mate, and tereré. 

Typical Argentine biscuits and chipa (cheesy bread from the northeast), plus stories and anecdotes.

The meeting point is Calle Uriarte 1882 (Uriarte Street 1882) in Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires. Look for the mural on the facade and ring the bell upon arrival.

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Camila is a devoted mate drinker and a passionate student of its origins and cultural significance. She runs a tourism initiative that connects locals through unique events and experiences. Her mission has grown to include travelers, inviting them to discover the spirit of Buenos Aires through meaningful connections and experiences that go beyond traditional tourism.

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.

This 10-day Morocco journey begins and ends in Marrakesh, unfolding through coastal Essaouira and the High Atlas Mountains in between. From artistic neighborhoods and sensory rituals to ocean air and mountain trails, this itinerary invites you to see Morocco not just as a destination but as a series of living moments, each led by chefs, photographers, artisans, and storytellers.

You will take part in Sufi evenings, hands-on cooking, contemporary gallery visits, and village walks. Every stop balances exploration and stillness, allowing time to absorb, connect, and be moved by Morocco’s many layers, from rooftop views to mountain paths, from hammam steam to handcrafted silver.

DAYS 1-2 – MARRAKESH | Ease into the journey with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm welcome into Moroccan cooking set in a private home. Visit El Badi Palace on your own before an immersive evening of Sufi presence with live Hadra music and shared dinner. The next day focuses on the city’s creative energy. Begin with a guided art tour and curator-led meet-up at Comptoir des Mines Galerie. Spend the afternoon in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s modern district, to visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle, spaces that blend color, fashion, and legacy.

DAY 3 – MARRAKESH TO ESSAOUIRA | Begin the morning with A Thousand and One Crafts, a guided walk through the artisan medina of Marrakesh. After lunch, travel west through argan country toward the coast. Essaouira is directly west of Marrakesh, a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, a straight shot to the Atlantic. It offers a gentle and relaxed pause after the intensity of Marrakesh. Arrive before sunset and take in the sea breeze.

DAYS 4-5 – ESSAOUIRA | Capture the spirit of Essaouira with Framed Essaouira, a full-day photography tour that reveals the city’s light, rhythm, and intimate angles. On the following day, dive deeper into craftsmanship with Jewelry Makers of Essaouira, a quiet and inspiring look into workshops that keep Moroccan silversmithing alive.

DAY 6 – ESSAOUIRA TO ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Today is a long but beautiful transfer from the Atlantic coast to Imlil in the High Atlas Mountains. As the terrain shifts, so does the pace. By sunset, you will be surrounded by peaks and valleys, far from city sounds.

DAYS 7-8 – ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Walk the Mule Tracks of Aremd, a soft yet panoramic hike that threads through the hills and villages near Imlil. The following day, go deeper with The Quintessential High Atlas, a guided trek that brings you into the life and rhythm of the mountains.

DAY 9 – ATLAS TO MARRAKESH | Begin your day with The Salt Route of Marigha, a scenic walk through argan groves and salt flats. Then, return to Marrakesh for your final evening. The shift from mountain quiet to city color makes this arrival feel like a reawakening.

DAY 10 – MARRAKESH | Close your journey with Art Beyond Borders, a guided look at contemporary art in Marrakesh. Enjoy one last rooftop, one last mint tea, and one last story before heading toward your next chapter, carrying Morocco’s echoes with you.

Morocco

An Escape to Morocco

10 days in Morocco through Marrakesh, Essaouira, and the Atlas Mountains with art, food, and nature.

Istanbul is a city best experienced slowly, not rushed. It invites you to walk its streets, savor its flavors, and absorb its atmosphere without rushing through. This five-day itinerary offers an immersive exploration of Istanbul through its food, history, art, and daily life. Each day thoughtfully combines two guided experiences with ample time to explore on your own. From iconic landmarks to bustling local markets and engaging workshops, you’ll see Istanbul from different angles, including its history, creativity, and daily culture.

DAY 1 – GRAND BAZAAR, SULTANAHMET, AND GOLD LEAF ART | Begin your day with a guided breakfast tour around the Grand Bazaar, just as the city stirs to life. Taste traditional Turkish pastries and street foods while learning about local culinary traditions and merchant life. Afterward, head to Sultan Ahmet Park to admire the iconic views of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the delicate art of tezhip by joining a gold leaf workshop with a local artist.

DAY 2 – THE OLD CITY AND TURKISH WINE | Start with a walking tour through the historic center of Constantinople. You’ll visit ancient cisterns, churches, and hear stories that shaped the city. After lunch, enjoy a slower pace. In the early evening, take part in a wine tasting and learn about the different wine regions and grapes of Türkiye.

DAY 3 – CITY LEGENDS AND A RAKI NIGHT | Today’s tour focuses on myths and legends. You’ll hear about saints, sultans, rebels, and writers as you walk through neighborhoods rich in stories. The afternoon is free to explore. At night, sit down to a rakı dinner in a local tavern, where food and conversation come together in a lively setting.

DAY 4 – FOOD, BOATS, AND SHADOW PUPPETS | Spend the day discovering Istanbul through its food. Visit the Spice Bazaar, then take a ferry to the Asian side, where you’ll continue by minibus and taste dishes in local markets. In the afternoon, join a traditional Karagöz shadow puppetry workshop and learn about this centuries-old art form.

DAY 5 – SUNRISE VIEWS AND A SPICE-FILLED FAREWELL | Start your day with a sunrise photography walk along Galata Bridge. As the city begins to stir, you’ll capture fishermen, ferries, and minarets in the morning light. After the walk, enjoy a quiet coffee or light bite nearby and soak in your final hours in Istanbul. In the early afternoon, take part in a guided tasting experience focused on Turkey’s spice culture. Through blind tastings, mezze pairings, and regional wines, you’ll explore the rich flavors that shaped the country’s cuisine and close your trip on a delicious note.

WHERE TO STAY IN ISTANBUL | Stay in Karaköy or Cihangir if you want to be central and close to cafés and galleries. For walking access to the monuments, choose Sultanahmet. If you prefer a quieter, local vibe, Moda on the Asian side is a great option.

Istanbul Through the Senses

5 days in Istanbul with guided tours, unique activities to do, local markets, and art workshops.

From ancient medinas to soaring mountain peaks, this 7-day itinerary in Morocco begins in the heart of Marrakesh and ends high in the Atlas Mountains. A full week of cultural contrasts, spiritual traditions and modern art, plus rooftop sunsets, hands-on cooking classes, vibrant souks and quiet trails. Each day balances immersive experiences with time to explore independently, inviting you to see Morocco through the eyes of artists, chefs, guides, and storytellers.

DAY 1 – MEDINA FOUNDATIONS & ROOFTOP VIEWS | Begin in the heart of the old city with The City of Seven Men, a walking tour that weaves together faith, folklore, and Moroccan tea in a local home. In the afternoon, visit Bahia Palace, where carved cedar and painted ceilings reflect Marrakesh’s opulent past. As the sun sets, join Skyline Stories of Marrakesh, a rooftop journey through a thousand years of history. End the night over dinner at Le Foundouk, with views to match the mood.

DAY 2 – FLAVORS & FAITH | Spend your day with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm and generous cooking class in a private home. In the late afternoon, explore the remains of El Badi Palace, once a symbol of Saadian grandeur. As evening falls, experience A Gathering of Sufi Presence—a powerful blend of Hadra music, spiritual storytelling, and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Wrap up with cocktails and city lights at Dardar Rooftop.

DAY 3 – ART & ATMOSPHERE IN GUELIZ | Today is centered in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s contemporary quarter. Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a curated visit to a local gallery and studio meetup. Then discover the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent at the museum, followed by a stroll through the vivid and peaceful Jardin Majorelle in the Psychedelic Mirage story. Pause for shopping, cafés, or a relaxed dinner at Al Fassia, a Gueliz institution run by women.

DAY 4 – HERITAGE & STORYTELLING | Dive deeper into Marrakesh’s medina with A Thousand and One Crafts, a private walk through its hidden workshops and time-honored techniques. In the afternoon, visit the Mouassine Music Museum and the Photography Museum, both offering quiet insight into Moroccan life and creativity. End the day with 1001 Stories in Marrakesh, an intimate evening of storytelling, music, and dinner. L’mida rooftop awaits to close the day with vibrant flavors and city lights.

DAY 5 – SWEETS & STILLNESS | Begin your day with a heartwarming class at Signs & Sweets, where deaf chefs guide you through the art of Moroccan pastry in a café that empowers and connects. In the afternoon, pause for renewal with a traditional hammam ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect. End the day with a sensory feast in one of Marrakesh’s most atmospheric restaurants.

DAYS 6–7 – INTO THE ATLAS | Leave the city behind for a two-day trek into the High Atlas Mountains. Your guide leads you from the village of Imlil toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Along the way, you’ll pass Berber hamlets, alpine trails, and star-filled skies. Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh & the Atlas Way

7 days in Morocco from Marrakesh with an itinerary that blends medina life, culture and mountains.

This 7-day itinerary offers a deep and personal exploration of Lisbon and its surrounding landscapes—curated by architect, artist, and local guide Tiago Miranda Neiva. You’ll move between Lisbon, Mafra, Ericeira, Setúbal, Évora, and Alqueva, using Lisbon as your hub for the first five days before transitioning into the open spaces of Alentejo. Each experience reflects Tiago’s belief that Lisbon—and Portugal more broadly—reveals its truth only when you engage with it slowly, sensitively, and through all your senses.
✧ In Lisbon, you’ll begin with immersive walking tours of the historic center and the Alfama district, including a soulful evening of live Fado. You’ll explore lush botanical gardens, secret city vantage points, and meet with local elders to hear lived histories.
✧ In the Setúbal Peninsula, you’ll sip and savor the natural and culinary abundance of the region, from coastal wines to Arrábida’s dramatic cliffs.
✧ In Ericeira and Mafra, the focus shifts to surf, light, and rhythm—along with time to admire the monumental beauty of Mafra Palace.
✧ The final days take you east, into Évora, Monsaraz, and Alqueva—where you’ll find silence, sweeping views, and stories rooted in the Alentejo earth.
This itinerary balances movement and stillness, city and countryside, design and tradition. It's a route shaped not only by places, but by one person's deep relationship to them.

When asked about his love for Lisbon, Tiago’s enthusiasm is immediate: “I love my city! I really love the historic center of Lisbon!” Though he didn’t always feel that way. Growing up on the city’s outskirts, it wasn’t until returning after time abroad that he saw it anew. “It was as a young and independent adult with an arts and architecture degree, and with the enthusiasm to explore — that I realized how beautiful, diverse, and interesting my city is.”
For Tiago, connecting with a culture means full immersion. “You have to experience it with open eyes, heart, and mind,” he says. That means talking to locals, walking unfamiliar routes, listening more than looking. “Lisbon isn’t just to be seen, but touched, smelled, and tasted.” It’s not a checklist—it’s a presence.
He also names two challenges: First, Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods are deeply distinct—each like its own mini-city. “Lisbon is multidimensional. It cannot—and should not—be rushed.” Second, mass tourism threatens the local character he cherishes. Responsible travel, he says, is essential to preserve the culture.
As tourism evolves, Tiago points toward Lisbon’s under-known strengths. “Gastronomy, street art, tiles, contemporary architecture… there’s so much more to discover!”

Lisbon and the Roads Out

7-day itinerary in Portugal exploring history & culture in Lisbon, Mafra, Ericeira, Setúbal, Évora.

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.”

Salt, Song and Time in Cádiz

3-day itinerary in Cádiz blending Moorish history, flamenco traditions, sherry, sea-slowed meals.

This is a stunning itinerary — a true slow-burn, full of history, nature, food, and texture. 

Sicily stretches between earth and sky—an island of contrast and continuity, where every hill, breeze, and coastline carries the weight of story. This seven-day itinerary moves with intention across that spectrum, from mountain to monastery, vineyard to volcano, cathedral to coast. It begins in Palermo, where gold mosaics shimmer inside Monreale Cathedral and narrow streets echo with centuries of layered life.

From there, the journey leads west to Erice, where mist clings to medieval towers, then down to the Zingaro Reserve—where cliffs and coves open up to the sea. In Marsala, you’ll encounter a different kind of landscape: windmills, salt flats, and the crisp, mineral pull of local wine. These aren’t stops—they're textures in a deeper conversation with place.

Midweek, you shift eastward, through Agrigento’s ancient Greek temples and the baroque turns of Ragusa and Modica. A cooking class in the countryside offers something slower: olive oil, family knowledge, and time shared under trees. Siracusa invites further stillness, with Ortigia’s quiet beauty and Marzamemi’s soft, seaside rhythm.

The final stretch leads upward—to Mount Etna, where Sicily’s volcanic heart breathes in silence and smoke. From there, a descent into Taormina for one last night: open-air theater, coastal views, and a closing meal with the city lit behind you.

Italy: Canals to Colosseum

7-day itinerary across Venice, Florence and Rome, an iconic mix of history, culture, art, and food

Barcelona unfolds across five days of design, flavor and texture. Modernist architecture meets artisanal creativity, and city rhythms blend with coastal calm. This itinerary is crafted for travelers who move with intention, appreciating detail, history and everyday beauty. From ateliers to iconic landmarks, from market tastings to rooftop views, each stop is anchored in a guided experience or a meaningful self-led discovery that offers a purposeful way to explore the city.

DAY 1 – ATELIER ARTISTRY AND MONTJUÏC VIEWS | Begin the day with a guided atelier visit at Eliurpi’s Magical World, where sculptural hat design meets poetic craftsmanship in the heart of the Old Town. Continue through Plaça Espanya, then explore centuries of Catalan art at the MNAC, perched above the city. Later, ride the cable car to Montjuïc for sweeping views and a shift in perspective. End your day with a scenic dinner, overlooking the city from the hillside.

DAY 2 – MODERNISME REVEALED | Start with a guided walking tour through Gràcia, following Gaudí’s early works and Catalan Modernism, including Casa Vicens and a tapas lunch. In the afternoon, explore the colorful mosaics and playful curves of Park Güell. As evening falls, dive into a guided architectural journey through hidden Art Nouveau interiors, tasting your way through history.

DAY 3 – GRÀCIA TO THE SEA | Uncover the political and creative roots of Gràcia on a morning walking tour exploring uprisings, civil war stories, and local oysters with wine. In the afternoon, visit two of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks — La Sagrada Familia and the Gothic cathedral — each offering a distinct lens into the city’s architectural legacy. As golden hour sets in, board a catamaran for a coastal sail with skyline views and Catalan wine. End the day with dinner at a cozy tapas bar near the marina.

DAY 4 – MARKETS AND MODERNISM | Spend your morning learning to cook regional tapas in Barcelona. Begin at Santa Caterina Market, shopping for ingredients with a local chef before preparing tapas in a hands-on kitchen workshop. In the afternoon, admire the stained glass beauty of the Palau de la Música and wander through the narrow lanes of El Born. At night, enter Gaudí’s dreamlike La Pedrera for a rooftop visit under the stars, followed by a lively dinner nearby.

DAY 5 – GIFTS, ART, AND A GAUDÍ FAREWELL | Start the day with a guided shopping tour through Barcelona’s Old Town, where local ateliers and historic shops offer one-of-a-kind pieces and cultural insight. After lunch in La Ribera, explore the Picasso Museum at your own pace, tracing the artist’s early evolution in the city he called home. In the evening, experience the luminous world of Gaudí at Casa Batlló during its Magic Nights event. Close your trip with a final dinner full of Catalan flavor and quiet celebration.

WHERE TO STAY IN BARCELONA | Gràcia feels like a village, ideal for returning to calm after full days of discovery. El Born and the Gothic Quarter are full of atmosphere and close to key museums in Barcelona. Eixample offers refined streets, architectural gems and easy access to everything from Gaudí landmarks to the best tapas in Barcelona.

Modernisme in Barcelona

5 days in Barcelona for design, culture, local markets, museums, tapas, and Gaudí’s best landmarks.

A rhythm of sand, salt, and sky unfolds across three elemental days in the Atacama Desert. This journey takes you from grounded, hands-on moments to vast desert panoramas — from the intimacy of a ceramics workshop to the stillness of floating lagoons and the dazzling clarity of the high-altitude night. Designed for travelers drawn to light, texture, and time, it pairs immersive photography with meditative moments of pause. You’ll begin slowly, then ascend into the surreal landscapes of the altiplano before closing among geysers, wetlands, and warm springs.
DAY 1 – CLAY, FLOATING, AND STARS | The journey begins gently in the Salt Mountain Range, where you’ll be welcomed into the adobe studio of a local ceramic artist. Using a clay unique to the region, shaped by ancestral Licarantai traditions, you’ll create your own piece while learning how reverence for Pachamama lives on through craft. In the afternoon, take time on your own to visit nearby Laguna Cejar — a salt-rich lagoon where the water suspends you weightlessly in its mineral grip. As night falls, a guided photography session carries you into the desert for stargazing under Atacama’s famously clear skies, where constellations and cosmic stories stretch wide across the silence.
DAY 2 – FLAMINGOS AND THE ALTIPLANO | Wake early to head deep into the Chilean altiplano. This is a day of altitude and scale, where pastel lagoons stretch beneath volcanoes and flamingos lift off from mirror-still water. As you travel across remote salt flats and highland valleys, your guide helps shape the light into story through photography. There’s time to pause, to breathe thinner air, to notice shadow and color shift by the hour. After returning to town, the evening invites rest and reflection after a day spent far above sea level.
DAY 3 – GEYSERS AND WATERS | Before sunrise, set out north toward El Tatio, where steam rises from the earth in silence. As the first light filters across the geysers, capture the raw power of fire meeting water at 4,000 meters. Descend slowly through villages and wetlands, where llamas and flamingos move between grasses and mineral pools. The day ends in thermal springs tucked inside a desert canyon. Let your body ease back into warmth as your time in the Atacama comes to a close.
WHERE TO STAY IN SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA | Most travelers base themselves in San Pedro, a walkable adobe town that serves as the region’s gateway. For easy access to experiences, stay near the center where pickups and drop-offs are seamless. If you prefer quiet evenings, choose a boutique lodge just outside the plaza. Accommodations range from rustic guesthouses to high-end eco-hotels, many designed with local materials and open-air courtyards perfect for desert stargazing.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ARRIVE | The desert rewards those who arrive slowly. Because much of this journey takes place at altitude, we recommend arriving in San Pedro at least one or two days before your first experience. This extra time helps you adjust to the dry air, shifting light, and elevation changes that define the Atacama. It also offers space to settle into the desert’s rhythm — walk the quiet streets, explore the artisan market, and watch the color drain from the sky in the evenings. Let the landscape meet you gradually.

The historical Tavira, a captivating town in the Algarve region of Portugal, was one of the first Phoenician settlements in the Iberian West. Tavira's unique blend of historical influences, from its Moorish occupation to the Christian reconquest, has left a rich architectural and cultural legacy. Top 5 highlights:
- Tavira was a significant Moorish stronghold from the 8th to the 13th centuries. The town still reflects this era with its whitewashed buildings, distinctive Moorish-style doors, and rooftops. Visit the Tavira Castle, originally built by the Moors, and the historic Roman bridge, which was later determined to be a Moorish bridge from the 12th century.
- Discover the dramatic history of Tavira's reconquest in 1242 by Dom Paio Peres Correia. This pivotal event marked the town's transition from Moorish to Christian rule. Explore the Santa Maria do Castelo Church, built on the site of a former mosque, which now houses the tombs of Dom Paio and his knights.
- Learn about the devastating impact of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake on Tavira. The town, like much of the Algarve, was significantly damaged, leading to a rebuilding effort that resulted in many of the fine 18th-century buildings you see today.
- Tavira boasts an array of architectural treasures, including 37 churches. The Church of Santa Maria do Castelo, with its Gothic origins and Manueline additions, and the Renaissance-style Igreja da Misericórdia are notable examples of the town's diverse architectural heritage.
- Enjoy the serene beauty of Tavira's natural surroundings. The town is located along the River Gilão and near the Ria Formosa natural park. 
Tavira's historic center is best explored on foot. The town's economy has shifted from fishing to tourism, but it has maintained its traditional charm, avoiding the high-rise development seen in other parts of the Algarve.

Timeless Charm: Tavira

The street art in Bellavista and neighboring Recoleta is, in a word, impressive. Some by established painters, others by anonymous artists working in the night.

Colorful, intricate, thought-provoking, and a clever mix of hip hop and political slant.

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.” ~Pablo Neruda

If you go, check out the art in the streets of Dardignac, Bombero Nuñez, Pio Nono and Purisima.

A visit to Fogo Island is all about the power of culture, art and community as catalysts for social and economic change. It’s a story of the indomitable spirit of people who refuse to give up their land.

First Impressions?  Minimalist winter scenery, it’s 🧊 season, one of Fogo Island’s seven  seasons. There are wooden Saltbox Houses, that must have leaped out of a child’s painting book. Reminders of fishing are everywhere. 

My favorite part of the trip is spending time with the islanders who do community orientations and cabin outings for visitors. These are people who are proud of their Irish or English heritage (seven or eight generations in Fogo Island notwithstanding) — who sing songs and tell stories of their ancestors, invite strangers into their homes to share salted cod and tea, take you on ski-doo for ice-fishing, teach you to forage for berries and show you how to preserve vegetables in mason jars to last through winter.

Far Away From Far Away

4: Royal Alcázar Gardens. The heart of the Alcázar's experience is its extensive gardens. Spanning 60,000 square meters, these gardens are a mix of Moorish, Renaissance, and English influences, offering a peaceful retreat with endless paths, exotic plants, and picturesque fountains.
5: Baths of Maria Padilla. A truly hidden gem, the Baths of Maria Padilla are rainwater tanks beneath the palace, once used by the queen for her private bathing, and offer a serene, almost mystical atmosphere.
