This is a walking tour in the vibrant heart of Buenos Aires along the iconic Corrientes Avenue. Often likened to New York City's Broadway, Avenida Corrientes is also the city's literary soul—pulsating with life, culture, and irresistible aromas. On this experience, you'll ogle historic theaters, browse charming independent bookstores open late into the night, and savor unique flavors shaped by Italian and Spanish heritage reimagined with a distinctly Porteño touch. 

In fact, diving into the city’s beloved café culture plays a starring role in Gabriela's experience. These cafes are where locals gather to talk politics, poetry, and psychoanalysis for hours upon hours over fabulous coffee and sweet medialunas. Gabriela's immersive experience blends arts, literature, gastronomy, and the social rituals that make Buenos Aires so unforgettable. She will also share her insider tips for the best restaurants, shows, and milongas where you can continue your cultural foray after hours.

Avenida Corrientes is one of the culturally richest streets in Buenos Aires where life orbits around the good times: books, theater, coffee, food, and conversation that stretches into the twilight hours. Gabriela, a Porteño native, will be your host—guiding you past the legendary and lesser-known spots at a gentle pace. Rather than simply clicking your camera at the likes of Teatro San Martin or Teatro Opera, you'll hear Gabriela's perspective and thoughts on each playhouse. She also builds on her training as a production designer to weave hidden details and anecdotes into her narration. 

Dipping into bookstores (Buenos Aires is one of the cities with the most bookstores per capita in the world) is an opportunity for Gabriela to recommend books penned by Argentinians—novels, art books, and beyond. Pausing at eateries, she will introduce you to the tastiest flavors enjoyed by Porteños with friends and invite you to partake in the cultural ritual of sharing coffee, empanadas, and pizza!

This 4-hour walking tour in Buenos Aires focuses on three of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods: Recoleta, Retiro, and San Telmo. While renowned landmarks shape the route, it’s the quiet treasures only locals know that form the heart of this experience. You'll also hear how each neighborhood reflects a different chapter in Buenos Aires’ social and architectural history.

Starting in Recoleta, you’ll explore the aristocratic architecture and elegant boutiques of Alvear Avenue before strolling along artistic Arroyo Street, known for its galleries. In Retiro, you’ll pause at Plaza San Martín before heading south. Once in San Telmo, you’ll be immersed in its bohemian ambiance while visiting a conventillo (traditional tenement) and Plaza Dorrego.

The experience includes a stop to taste Argentine mate (a caffeinated tea) and empanadas.

Recoleta reveals the legacy of Argentina’s aristocracy, while Retiro’s contrast of grandeur and grit tells a story of shifting power.

Italy

Enter the energy of Milan’s Chinatown, where the pedestrianized Via Paolo Sarpi pulses with movement, scent, and color. Red lanterns float above shopfronts, scooters zip by steamed-up windows, and market stalls brim with tropical fruits and unusual greens. This vibrant urban corridor offers endless photographic possibilities, from layered reflections in glass façades to handwritten signs in Chinese calligraphy.

Emanuele, a professional photographer, leads you through its rich textures — graffiti walls, stacked crates, and neon details that tell a multicultural story. You'll explore spontaneous street moments, vibrant storefronts, and silhouettes caught in backlight or low evening sun.

The walk flows with the life of the district: bubble tea cafés, Chinese-Italian diners, locals chatting on sidewalks. Emanuele helps you frame it all, finding geometry in chaos and poetry in everyday gestures.

Milan’s Chinatown is a microcosm of the city’s evolving identity: multicultural, energetic, and layered with daily contrasts. This experience invites you to observe it not from a distance, but from within: a chance to see past the surface and follow the pulse of the neighborhood as it moves through murals, bicycles, signs, and gestures.

Emanuele brings a photographer’s sensitivity and a local’s awareness to every step of the walk. With his guidance, you’ll explore both the animated stretch of Via Paolo Sarpi and the lesser-known backstreets that reveal unexpected angles. His knowledge of light, geometry, and human presence helps you compose images that are both candid and intentional.

Rather than capturing isolated snapshots, you’ll learn to craft a visual narrative that captures the heartbeat of one of Milan’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The result is a series of photos that reflect Chinatown’s authentic spirit with clarity and depth.

Morocco

This full-day experience immerses you in Essaouira’s industrial heritage, with a focus on the sugar and argan oil trades. The day trip begins with a scenic walk through groves of twisted Argan trees, learning about this UNESCO‑protected ecosystem and spotting local wildlife like squirrels, rare birds, and even foxes. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how this arid yet fertile landscape has sustained generations of Berber communities, shaped by cycles of labor, migration, and resilience.

Your guide will then lead you to the striking ruins of a 16th-century sugar mill—a hidden symbol of Morocco’s economic past. As you sip tea under the trees, you’ll explore how this once-prosperous industry helped shape this region.

The day continues in the home of Hafida and her family, where you’ll take part in a hands-on Argan oil workshop, before ending with a tasting of the oil, paired with organic honey and freshly baked bread by the Berber women in the family.

This experience highlights how Essaouira’s rural lands played a significant role in the country’s economic growth. You’ll understand why sugar was once part of Morocco’s booming Saadian economy—linking agriculture, trade and empire.

This same landscape now supports a different pillar of local life: Argan oil. In the home of Hafida and her family, you’ll take part in the entire artisanal process of making this “liquid gold”—from cracking nuts to pressing kernels—guided by the Berber women who keep this tradition alive. Their knowledge has been passed down through generations, and you’ll see how each step of the process is rooted in rhythm and care.

You’ll leave with the oil you’ve helped create, a deeper appreciation of its cultural value, and the chance to taste authentic Amlou (an argan-oil based spread), made with high-quality ingredients, far from the commercial blends found in markets—as well as a connection to the people and the land that continue to sustain this craft.

Visit the vestiges of a Saadian-era sugar mill—one of the world’s few remaining pre-industrial sugar sites.

Your guide sheds light on the mill's economic role and how this industry shaped the region.

Türkiye

This historical walking tour takes you to the heart of ancient Constantinople, now modern Istanbul. You'll begin at the iconic Blue Mosque, renowned for its striking architecture and iconic blue tiles that have earned the building its name. 

Then continue to the Hippodrome, once the vibrant center of Byzantine public life, where chariot races and political debates took place.

Your journey then leads to the magnificent Hagia Sophia, a monumental beacon of Byzantine architecture that has served as a church, mosque, and museum throughout its many iterations. The interior perfectly encapsulates the historical confluence of Christianity and Islam in Istanbul. 

After a refreshing tea break in a local café, you'll conclude your experience at the Underground Cistern, a marvel of Roman engineering. Wander among mystical columns and the famous Medusa heads in this subterranean wonder, as you reflect upon Istanbul's layered past.

This experience unveils Istanbul's imperial legacies, where every stone tells a story of conquest and cultural transformation. As you enter the Blue Mosque, your guide will decipher the sacred geometry in its tile work—patterns that simultaneously express mathematical precision and spiritual devotion.
Your guide's narration transforms the Hippodrome from silent ruins to a theater of power, where Byzantine emperors once calculated their political survival based on the roar of the crowd. 

In the Hagia Sophia, witness how a building has reinvented itself through seismic shifts in religion and politics while maintaining its structural and spiritual grandeur. You'll discover how the city's engineering innovations—from Byzantine water management to Ottoman structural reinforcement—created a metropolis that was once the center of the world.

Portugal

This walking tour traces Lisbon’s history through the eyes of the women who helped shape the city and its cultural waves. It begins at the Kit Garden, where Joana Vasconcelos’s striking red sculpture was created to bring people together. From there, you’ll head toward the Mouraria and Alfama districts, where narrow alleys were once filled with the voices of the varinas, the fishmongers who carried the day’s catch through the streets, and the fado singers who turned everyday struggle into haunting songs. 

You’ll pause for a coffee and light snack at a traditional café before continuing to Baixa, where Vos will uncover how homes and livelihoods were rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. Then, you’ll climb into Bairro Alto to visit a convent once reserved for noble girls, a living reminder of women’s devotion and confinement through the centuries. The walk concludes in Santa Catarina, at one of Lisbon’s most beautiful viewpoints, where you can reflect on this new lens of history.

Behind the many kings, explorers, and historic monuments are the women who kept Lisbon running, yet never made the history books. In this tour, you’ll hear about figures like Queen Catarina de Bragança, who brought tea to England and diplomacy to Europe; revolutionary writer Natália Correia; and the Three Marias, whose banned writings challenged the dictatorship and helped fuel the cultural awakening that preceded the April 25 Revolution. You’ll also learn about the varinas of Alfama, whose independence and strength became symbols of Lisbon’s popular culture.

As you pass viewpoints, convent courtyards, and narrow streets, you’ll see how their presence has always been there, just written between the lines. Guided by historian-journalist Vos, you’ll have a lively conversation mixing solid research with storytelling, humor, and reflection. By the end, you’ll see how Lisbon’s foundations were shaped by generations of women, even if their names rarely reached the monuments.

Walking Tour of Lisbon, Alfama to downtown, exploring stories of heroic women who shaped the city.

Vos is a Belgian-born historian, journalist, and author who has called Lisbon home since 2012. Her background in historical research and storytelling shapes every experience she leads, blending academic depth with a journalist’s curiosity and an insider’s understanding of the city. Through years spent in archives and conversations with locals, she has uncovered the hidden narratives that connect Lisbon’s streets, songs, and revolutions. Thoughtful and engaging, Vos brings history to life with clarity and warmth, showing how the city’s true story can be told beyond the monuments, bringing the spotlight to the people who help shape it.

This full-day experience explores the Douro Valley’s cultural and culinary heritage beyond winemaking. 

Departing from Porto, you'll travel east towards Vila Real, where you'll visit the Mateus Palace, an 18th-century Baroque estate known for its grand architecture, reflective pools, and manicured gardens. Inside, richly furnished rooms and a private chapel offer a glimpse into Portugal’s aristocratic past. The palace also maintains an archive and library, preserving records of regional history, agriculture, and family lineage.

From there, you’ll head to the Sabrosa area for a tasting with a local beekeeper, sampling honeys shaped by the native flora of the region—acacia, chestnut, rosemary, and heather among them. Lunch follows at a vineyard estate, where traditional Douro dishes are paired with local wines in a quiet setting surrounded by vines. After a stop at a scenic viewpoint and a soothing solar boat ride overlooking the valley’s terraced hills, you'll return to Porto.

This tour offers a layered view of the Douro that goes beyond wine and tastings: Experience architecture, local food traditions, and sustainable practices in the Douro.

After arriving in Vila Real, you'll begin the day at Mateus Palace — one of Portugal’s most emblematic Baroque estates — where ornate interiors, manicured gardens, and preserved family archives reveal a different dimension of the region’s heritage and aristocratic past. 

From there, the focus shifts to the land and its caretakers: you’ll meet a local beekeeper whose expressive honeys are shaped by native flora, and a winemaker who cultivates a variety of wines on an estate where you’ll also enjoy a lunch prepared with regional ingredients grown on-site. Wine is present, but it’s not the headline. The emphasis is on how people live from the land.

The silent, solar-powered boat ride towards the end offers a sustainable alternative to typical excursions, allowing you to focus on the sights and sounds of the valley.

Next, you’ll head into the Sabrosa area to meet a local beekeeper whose work reveals another side of the Douro’s agricultural richness. In a rural setting, you’ll learn how honey is shaped by local terrain and seasonal flowering — acacia, chestnut, rosemary, and wild heather among the key sources.

You’ll get a firsthand look at the tools and process of small-scale, sustainable beekeeping, and understand how the hives interact with surrounding vineyards and olive groves. The tasting is informal and guided by the producer, featuring several raw, unblended honeys — each with distinct color, texture, and flavor shaped by the flora of the nearby hills.

Most Douro tours skip over the region’s full agricultural range — this one stops and listens to it. It’s a rare glimpse into the non-export economy of the Douro, and the knowledge carried by those who work just outside the wine spotlight.

The beekeeper you meet works to maintain biodiversity, respond to shifting weather patterns, and protect pollination cycles essential to local crops. Each honey tells a geographic story. 

This is an opportunity to slow down, taste with intention, and hear directly from someone whose livelihood depends on observing the land closely. 

Discover native Douro honeys with the producer who keeps this small-scale craft alive.

Meet the Beekeeper

At midday, you’ll sit down for a relaxed lunch at a family-owned estate in the heart of the Douro. Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, the quinta produces wines rooted in traditional methods and local varietals. The atmosphere is quiet, rural, and unhurried — offering a genuine sense of place. This is a working farm—and lunch is part of its rhythm.

The meal reflects regional food traditions. Wines are chosen to complement the food, and your hosts will share stories about the land, the harvest, or the changing seasons.


The communal table and seasonal dishes reflect the genuine Douro hospitality. You eat what’s fresh, in a setting shaped by the same hands that produce the wine. The family behind the estate has long ties to the region, and they farm with a focus on sustainability, heritage varietals, and low-intervention methods.

What sets this apart from typical vineyard lunches is its tone: it’s just good food made from what’s nearby. The setting allows you to absorb the Douro slowly, through conversation, texture, and taste. You’re part of a working day at the Quinta, shared generously.

Enjoy a farm-style meal with regional dishes and estate wines at a historic Douro vineyard.

Regional Lunch in the Vineyard

Finish the day with a relaxing boat ride, inviting you to see the valley from a different perspective. Aboard a silent solar-powered vessel, you’ll drift past vineyard-covered hillsides, ancient terraces, and quiet riverbanks, while sipping on a glass of moscatel, one of Douro's sweet fortified wines.

Unlike most Douro cruises, this boat ride is powered by the sun and defined by its silence. There’s no engine hum, no tourist chatter—just the sound of water and the view of centuries-old vineyards passing by. It’s a sustainable way to experience the landscape without disturbing it, honoring both the environment and the legacy of the valley. Travelers are welcomed with a glass of Favaios (moscatel wine) and invited to stand at the bow for photo opportunities and uninterrupted views. Along the way, your host will share short, insightful stories about the river’s role in Douro viticulture and daily life, pointing out key landmarks. Guests are encouraged to ask questions or simply pause and observe. 

Glide silently through the Douro’s terraced valleys aboard an eco-powered boat.

Solar Boat Ride

After lunch, you’ll head to a scenic viewpoint overlooking one of the most striking stretches of the Douro Valley. It's an iconic Pinhão viewpoint, where Douro’s vineyards and river converge in panoramic harmony. From here, you can see how the region has been shaped into terraced hills that trace the contours of the land.

You’ll have time to take in the layout of the valley, recognize the textures of what you’ve tasted, and notice the slow patterns of rural life: a tractor on a distant ridge, smoke rising from a chimney, rows of vines wrapping a hillside.

The overlook allows you to reflect on what you’ve encountered so far: the gardens of Mateus, the flowers that shape honey, the vineyard that fed you, and the river that runs through it all. It’s quiet, open, and undisturbed — like much of the Douro itself.

Pause at a local viewpoint for a panoramic look of the Douro’s terraced hills and winding river.

View Over the Valley

Your hosts will return you to your starting point in the same quiet, comfortable Kombi that began the day. The return ride gives you space to reflect, ask any last questions, or simply watch the valley pass by your window one last time.

The drop-off is part of the continuity of the day. In many tours, the end is transactional. Here, the same hosts who welcomed you now bring you home, having shared a full day of lived experience — architecture, agriculture, food, and conversation.

Private return by electric Kombi to your hotel in Porto.

Return by Kombi to Porto

Your hosts meet you anywhere in Porto — and welcome you aboard a fully electric vintage VW Kombi. Carefully restored and designed for quiet, low-impact travel, the Kombi sets the tone for a slower, more immersive day. It's a 90 minute drive to the Douro region.

You pass olive trees, stone houses, and small plots that mark the rhythms of daily life in this agricultural region. This is the first step in a day shaped by care, curiosity, and connection.

The private transport ensures a relaxed start, setting the tone for a seamless, immersive experience.

Begin your cultural day in Porto with a pick-up at your hotel, for the drive to Douro Valley.

Kombi Pick-Up in Porto

Your journey continues at Casa de Mateus, the Baroque manor just outside Vila Real, completed in the 1740s by architect Nicolau Nasoni. This National Monument estate includes the main house with ornate interiors. Outside, the formal gardens — planted in the 1700s and later refined — are centered around a reflecting pond and a statue by João Cutileiro. 

Casa de Mateus is a significant layer of Douro’s heritage. Its Baroque architecture, designed by Nasoni, shaped the visual and cultural identity of northern Portugal. Inside, original ceilings and rare books ground the experience in its 18th-century origins.

A captivating 5.5-hour walking tour, this celebrates the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most influential masters of architecture and design, Giovanni “Gio” Ponti. This journey through Milan showcases Ponti's versatile approach to design, which ranged “from the spoon to the town”: smallest household items to grand urban projects. Starting with his exquisite ceramic collection at Richard Ginori, moving through his contributions to modern lighting at Fontana Arte, and culminating in his architectural marvels like the Pirelli Tower and the Torre Branca, this tour offers an unparalleled insight into Ponti’s innovative vision. Discover the essence of Milanese architecture as you walk through the city, exploring Ponti's contributions to both private and public spaces, including the serene St. Francesco d’Assisi al Fopponino church and his residential projects in via De Togni. A coffee/snack break is included.

This is a route that needs an expert guide to bring it to life. 

Milan is well connected by air, rail and road. This experience is located in the heart of Milan. 

“Architecture is an interpretation of life.”, said Gio Ponti. He focused on keeping designs simple, e.g. how the shape of a building connects to its structure. In a 60-year career, he worked on more than 200 projects and 250 designs, including buildings, urban plans, furniture and ceramics. It's said that more than anyone else, he perfectly captured Milan's essence, blending modern innovation with traditional design elements.

This tour is unique for its focus on Gio Ponti’s holistic design philosophy, illustrating how his work seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. It provides an immersive experience into how Ponti’s designs, whether a "superleggera" chair or the towering Pirellone, embody a deep understanding of materials and a pioneering spirit of technical innovation.

A Passage Through Morocco

A Morocco 2 week itinerary from Fes to Marrakesh with culture, coast, and Atlas Mountains.

Rovinj invites slowness. It’s a town best explored on fork or glass in hand, with time to stop—often. This three-day itinerary offers a thoughtful pace through its stone-lined alleys, seaside kitchens, and sun-drenched vineyards, where each experience feels close to the land, and closer still to the people who live by it.

Your journey begins in Rovinj’s Old Town, a maze of worn steps and cascading homes perched above the Adriatic. Mornings are for wandering the harbor and watching the rhythms of the fishing boats; midday leads you to the local market, where seasonal produce and handmade cheeses speak to Istria’s generous soil. In the afternoon, a boat ride through Lim Fjord adds contrast—quiet water, steep cliffs, and stillness that settles in.

Day two is dedicated to flavor and touch. “A Kitchen Among Olive Trees” is more than a cooking class—it’s a full-sensory dive into Istrian culinary culture, hosted by locals with deep knowledge of land, oil, and tradition. The afternoon brings you to St. Euphemia Church, where a climb to the bell tower reveals sweeping views of sea, rooftops, and sky—a quiet reward before another intimate dinner.

The final day pulls you inland. A full-day wine experience takes you to Rovinj’s vineyards, where crisp whites and deep reds are poured beside vineyard paths and old cellars. It’s a generous and slow-moving day, designed for both learning and tasting. You’ll close with one last look at the fjord, a soft light setting over the water as you reflect on days well spent.

This is an invitation to pause, cook, sip, and look closely. Rovinj rewards travelers who resist the rush.

Cappadocia stirs the imagination long before you arrive. This three-day journey is for travelers who crave striking landscapes, cultural depth, and light that feels almost sacred.

DAY 1 – FAIRY CHIMNEYS AND NORTHERN VALLEYS | Begin your journey with a full-day guided tour through the heart of northern Cappadocia.

DAY 2 – BALLOONS, CRAFT, AND SUNSET | Rise before dawn to meet the golden light. At sunrise, a local photographer leads you through a peaceful valley as hot air balloons drift silently above, casting shadows over cave walls and soft ridges.

In the evening, as the landscape glows in blue hour tones, return to the hills for a photography walk across the Red Valley, capturing the shift from day to night.
DAY 3 – UNDERGROUND CITIES AND THE SOUTH | Your final day dives deep—both literally and historically. A guided day trip takes you south, into the vast subterranean cities that once sheltered entire populations. From there, you’ll move through Pigeon Valley and the quiet streets of Ortahisar, where everyday life moves to ancient rhythms. The afternoon leads you through the soft palette of the Rose and Red Valleys, closing the journey with views that feel both geological and emotional in their weight.
WHERE TO STAY IN CAPPADOCIA | Most travelers base themselves in Göreme or Uçhisar, two villages with easy access to sunrise viewpoints and valley hikes. Göreme is lively and central, with cave hotels tucked into the cliffs, while Uçhisar offers a quieter pace and panoramic views. If you’re seeking charm, walkability, and good access to experiences, either makes a beautiful base—just be sure to book early, especially if you’re hoping to see balloons from your terrace.

This road trip weaves together two Atlantic-shaped regions defined by strong identities and a deep relationship with food, wine, and ideas. Beginning in Bilbao, you explore how contemporary art and traditional cuisine coexist in a city reinvented without losing its soul. The journey then expands into the Basque Country’s landscapes and villages, where language, history, and geography form a distinct worldview.

Familiar streets take on new meaning as wealth, ambition, and exploitation come into focus, setting a reflective tone.

Day 6 – BORDEAUX | Morning centers on restoration and continuity in one of Bordeaux’s historic districts, revealing how the past is carefully tended rather than erased. In the afternoon, wine tasting in the city expresses place and history through flavor. The journey ends grounded in craftsmanship, pleasure, and restraint.

WHERE TO STAY ALONG THE ROUTE | In Bilbao, Ensanche offers central ease, while Casco Viejo brings character and nightlife. In San Sebastián, Centro or Gros provide beach access and dining, with Gros feeling more local.

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.

Tokyo is a city that reinvents itself in every light. Centuries of history unfold beside glowing screens and restless streets. This three-day journey moves through time and texture — from temples and textile ateliers to neon alleys and quiet shrines — revealing how the city’s rhythm shifts from reflection to motion. Guided by local storytellers, you’ll experience Tokyo through its architecture, artistry, and everyday encounters, finding a balance between discovery and moments to breathe and wander at your own pace.

DAY 1 – TOKYO THROUGH TIME | Begin your journey with a full-day guided tour tracing Tokyo’s evolution through centuries of change. From the Edo Castle grounds and ancient temples of Asakusa to the Western architecture of the Meiji era, the day reveals how each period has reshaped the city’s skyline and spirit. Along the Sumida River, the modern towers rise above preserved gardens where the rhythm of ritual endures. Between shrines and civic landmarks, you’ll see how Tokyo’s neighborhoods carry forward the legacy of power, renewal, and quiet resilience. A day that begins in stillness ends in movement, with time for a reflective walk or early evening meal near the water.

DAY 2 – FROM OLD STREETS TO MODERN DESIGN | The morning opens with a guided photo walk through one of Tokyo’s most atmospheric neighborhoods. In Disappearing Tokyo, photographer Lee Chapman leads you into alleys where Showa-era signs fade under new facades and locals pause for coffee or conversation. It’s an intimate portrait of a city in transition — fleeting, honest, and human. After a light meal and coffee break, continue into Ginza’s Architectural Icons, where journalist Toshiko Sakurai unravels the design stories behind Tokyo’s most polished district. Here, façades reflect light like art pieces and every corner reveals a conversation between history and innovation. The day bridges Tokyo’s two faces: the nostalgic and the refined.

DAY 3 – CRAFT AND CONTRAST | The final day begins quietly, inside the private home of kimono scholar Sheila Cliffe. In A Kimono Connoisseur’s Closet, you’ll step into a collection that tells Japan’s history in silk — patterns, textures, and techniques passed through generations. Surrounded by colors and fabric, the morning moves at a slower pace, connecting tradition with artistry. In the afternoon, join filmmaker Edgin Ticzon for Tokyo, Cut to Scene, a guided journey through the city’s cinematic layers. From forest shrines to the neon scramble of Shibuya, each stop plays out like a shift in light and rhythm. The day ends as the city comes alive — narrow streets glowing with paper lanterns, where conversations flow as easily as the evening breeze.

WHERE TO STAY IN TOKYO | Stay in Shibuya if you want to be at the heart of the action — a lively hub of shopping, nightlife, and energy that defines modern Tokyo. Shinjuku is ideal for travelers who value convenience, with endless dining options and quick train links across the city. For a slower rhythm, Asakusa offers a glimpse of traditional Tokyo with temples and quiet streets, while Ginza brings sophistication, elegant hotels, and polished calm after dark. For a more local balance, Kichijōji sits just outside the center, combining creative cafés, green parks, and an easygoing neighborhood feel.

Fes moves at the pace of intention—through hands that craft, stories that endure, and streets that remember. This four-day itinerary is designed to experience the city not from a distance, but from within. It’s a journey built on conversation, tradition, and daily rituals that still carry meaning.

Your time begins in the calm of a riad, where a portrait session and henna ceremony introduce the elegance of Moroccan hospitality and dress. In the afternoon, a guided photo walk invites you into the medina’s light and movement—capturing not just images, but insight into how the city breathes.

On day two, you cook what you’ve sourced, learning to prepare classic dishes in the flow of the market. The flavors carry memory, the process carries lineage. Later, at Al-Attarine Madrasa, geometry and detail reveal the intellectual and artistic sophistication of Islamic Morocco.

The third day opens at the Nejjarine Museum, tracing the arc of wooden craftsmanship. Then comes a deeper look at Berber culture—through healing traditions, bread-making, and domestic arts practiced for generations. These aren’t performances—they’re living legacies, generously shared.

Your final day moves toward the future, exploring how traditional forms evolve in contemporary Fes. A visit to the Merenid Tombs offers a high, quiet view over the city, framing what you’ve just lived through: not a list of sites, but a rhythm of presence. You’ll close the experience over dinner in a restored historic house, where old beauty continues to welcome.
