Italy

This is an exclusive street photography experience in Naples, led by a professional photographer born and raised in the city. Deeply connected to Naples, he knows its rhythms, hidden corners, and the stories behind every alley. Through his guidance, you’ll explore the city beyond the usual postcard views, capturing its raw beauty and daily life.

The experience takes you to Rione Sanità and Quartieri Spagnoli, two historic neighborhoods full of character, where Naples reveals its most authentic side. Here, people live in the streets, and every moment is a potential photograph. You’ll document real encounters, observe light and shadow playing on ancient facades, and immerse yourself in the city's unique atmosphere.

This is more than a photography session—it’s a chance to see Naples through a local expert’s eyes. You’ll engage with its people, discover unexpected details, and leave with a collection of images that tell a true and personal story of the city.

Photography is at the heart of this experience, but what you’ll take away is much deeper—a lasting bond with Naples. This is not a workshop, yet you’ll learn more than just technique. Whether you're experienced or simply passionate, you’ll discover a new way to approach the streets with your camera.

Guiding you is Francesco Verolino, a Master photographer specialized in street photography, born and raised in Naples. His trained eye reveals the city's soul, from hidden corners to the elusive light admired by Caravaggio. He’ll take you to places even locals don’t know, offering access to the city’s most intimate layers.

Through Francesco, you won’t just observe—you’ll connect. You'll interact with Neapolitans, hear their stories, and understand their world before capturing it. Breaks become moments of cultural exchange, shifting from fast snapshots to meaningful, slow photography. Expect to unveil the "veiled" secrets only a true local can share.

Photo Tour in Naples capturing street life, local character and unexpected corners of the city.

His "Slow Photography" philosophy emphasizes patience, immersion, and understanding places before capturing them.

Argentina

If you have only one day in Buenos Aires, this is the ultimate experience for an in-depth exploration of the city's principal landmarks and neighborhoods, including the Historic Quarter and San Telmo. With a private guide by your side, you’ll tune into the essence of the Argentine capital and hear stories about the everyday life of a Porteño (local resident). This 5-hour city tour is conducted by private vehicle, with plenty of stops to hop out, explore key sites, and hear what Carlos has to share about his city.

Carlos has curated an itinerary featuring the central neighborhoods of Plaza de Mayo, Puerto Madero, San Telmo, La Boca, and Recoleta. In addition to the iconic sights, you'll also discover hidden gems in each district that hold special meaning for locals. The experience includes a relaxed, light lunch with Carlos at one of his favorite restaurants. The pace is unhurried—you’ll feel like you're exploring the “Paris of South America” with a friend.

Not only does this experience provide a comprehensive exploration of Buenos Aires, but it also offers unique insights into the lived experience of Porteños. Beyond history, your energetic host focuses on everyday life—introducing you to the soul of the modern city. You'll uncover how Buenos Aires' layered past still shapes daily life in subtle yet vivid ways. 

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Carlos knows the city like the back of his hand and enriches his commentary with colorful anecdotes and personal interpretations. The experience moves at a relaxed pace and includes a lunch break with Carlos, during which—being the son of a celebrated chef—he’ll share the gastronomic secrets of Buenos Aires. His tour feels like discovering the inner workings of the city with a friend, which, by the end, he likely will be. This private tour is ideal for cruise ship passengers, layover travelers short on time, or return visitors seeking a deeper, more authentic connection with Argentina’s capital.

The experience continues at Puerto Madero—a curious dockside development where glossy skyscrapers rise above historic 19th century buildings from the port's heyday. Apart from learning about the storied history of the area, you'll see the Puente de la Mujer (Women's Bridge) and understand why the streets in Puerto Madero are named after women and what they contributed to Argentine history and society.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about what is considered one of the most successful waterfront rival projects in the world. Puerto Madero is a rather different experience to the bustling Plaza de Mayo, with wide dockside boulevards allowing space to decompress and follow up with questions for Carlos in a calmer setting.

Puerto Madero is also a haven for architecture enthusiasts and a charming spot for experimental photography capturing the contrasting shapes and rippling surface of the canal. 

City tour stop in Puerto Madero to explore its dockside history, skyscrapers, and bridge.

Puerto Madero

Experience the defining landmarks in the beating heart of Buenos Aires. Standing in Plaza de Mayo where the revolution of 1810 secured Argentina's independence, you will be stunned by the sights and stories of such monuments as the Catedral Metropolitana, Casa Rosada, and Pirámide de Mayo.

Rather than being a bystander, you will step into the city's history and experience major happenings. Carlos will divulge exactly what goes on inside the "Pink House" and explain the significance of the obelisk. He'll also talk you through the different functions of such buildings as the Museo Nacional del Cabildo over the years and train your eye on the finer details on the facades of Calle Florida. As the experience does not include going into the museums, you may wish to make plans to see these independently after hearing what Carlos has to say about them.

City Tour stop at Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada, and key independence landmarks.

Buenos Aires Historic Center

The next chapter of the experience takes you to two of the most iconic neighborhoods in Buenos Aires: San Telmo and La Boca. In San Telmo, you will meander the stalls of Mercado de San Telmo and Plaza Dorrego with the opportunity to pick up souvenirs. Passing into La Boca, you will stroll along the photographic Caminito and take in the sight of the Alberto José Armando "La Bombonera" Stadium. 

After experiencing the political and commercial center of Buenos Aires followed by the upscale dockside enclave, this part of the experience provides quite the contrast. San Telmo has an old-soul feel and a creative energy where history meets hipness. As you wander around these cobblestone streets you’ll hear tango music drifting from cafes and antique stores. 

Don't be shy about stopping to browse any places that catch your eye; Carlos will all too happy to introduce you to vendors and artisans.

Claudia knows this place intimately. With years of focused research and a deep passion for funerary art, she brings history to life. Author of two books, she reveals hidden layers—obscure sculptors, private commissions, and symbolic details most guides overlook.

Set above the Mediterranean in a natural park just outside Barcelona, this 4-hour experience is an invitation into a family legacy rooted in wine, land, and sea.

Morocco

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.

This is a gentle 3-hour guided trek through the picturesque Ouirgane Valley, beginning and ending in the tranquil village of Ouirgane. This scenic walk meanders through olive and almond groves, wildflower-lined paths, and the historic village of Marigha, where traditional mud-brick homes and the ruins of a Kasbah reflect the region’s deep Berber roots. 

The trail leads to the Marigha Salt Mines, where salt has been harvested by hand for generations using time-honored techniques unchanged for centuries. Along the way, you may witness villagers transporting salt by mule or women gathering firewood and chatting under the sun. 

The return journey follows a peaceful route along ancient irrigation channels still in use today. Guided by a local expert, this experience offers a deep immersion into nature, tradition, and the enduring rhythms of Atlas village life. In summer, the walk is best in early morning or late afternoon, when the light is golden and the air cooler.

This gentle walk offers an intimate glimpse into some enduring traditions of the High Atlas. Visiting the Marigha Salt Mines typically just takes about 20 minutes. This allows ample time to observe the traditional salt harvesting methods, where salt is drawn from shallow earth basins, sun-dried, and gathered using simple tools—a practice unchanged for generations.

Your local guide, deeply connected with the community, shares personal insights into the seasonal rhythms and the significance of this craft. The journey culminates in a warm welcome at a Berber home, where you'll be invited to partake in a traditional mint tea ceremony, accompanied by homemade sweets or nuts. This hospitality offers a window into daily life, fostering a deeper appreciation for the region's rich cultural tapestry. 

This experience helps you understand how people live with the land here, relying on it, respecting it, and continuing practices that have quietly sustained mountain life for centuries.

Celebrate the Douro’s harvest season in this fully immersive half-day experience that brings centuries‑old traditions to life. You'll step into the rhythm of the vindima — or grape harvest — hand‑picking grapes on steep, terraced vineyards as local workers do. Next, you'll wade into a stone lagar to press grapes barefoot, stomping to festive music and feeling the must rise beneath you — an authentic ritual that shaped Douro wine production for generations.

After freshening up, enjoy a regional lunch at the estate paired with wines from previous harvests. The morning concludes with a serene cruise aboard a traditional Rabelo boat, drifting past golden hills and leafy terraces. This is a chance to experience one of the region's most iconic cultural events away from the crowds.

THIS IS A SEASONAL EVENT AVAILABLE ONLY DURING DOURO'S HARVEST SEASON FROM MID-AUGUST TO THE END OF OCTOBER.

This is a rare opportunity to take part in one of the Douro’s most meaningful traditions — not as a spectator, but as a participant. With scissors in hand and feet in the press, you’ll join a working harvest, guided by winemakers who carry generations of knowledge. Few experiences offer this kind of hands-on access to grape picking and traditional treading, especially in such an intimate setting. The atmosphere is celebratory, with the rhythm of local songs adding spirit to the work.

Afterward, you’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch paired with estate wines — the direct result of efforts like your own. Thanks to Carlos and Paulo’s close ties with small producers, you’ll experience this seasonal ritual in its most genuine form, away from the crowds. It’s a chance to ask questions, connect with the land, and walk away with a deeper appreciation for the people behind the wine.

Join the harvest team as you pick grapes directly from the vines nestled along Douro's steep, schist terraces. You’ll carry baskets and help transport the fruit, as generations have done before you.


Few visitors get to experience the physical reality of harvest season — the sweat, the smells, the steep incline of the land. This is a moment of connection with nature, labor, and legacy.


Pick grapes by hand on Douro's iconic stone terraces.

Pick‑Up

Here, you’ll learn about the traditional lagares (stone tanks) and how grapes begin their transformation. Then step into the lagar barefoot and join in the traditional grape stomping — still practiced today during harvest. Music and laughter set the tone for this joyful, communal ritual. After the treading, you’ll have a chance to rinse off, change, and relax before lunch. 

This traditional method taps into the soul of Douro's harvest culture, allowing you to witness an ancient ritual that has been around for centuries. You’ll stomp, sing (if you want), and experience one of the valley’s most iconic annual events first-hand. Then take a break for a well-deserved lunch.

This 3-day Marrakesh itinerary is textured, elegant, and sensory—a journey through art, craft, taste, and tradition. It offers a lens into the city’s creative pulse—not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of artists, chefs, and cultural storytellers who shape its rhythm. Expect curated encounters, intimate spaces, and a balance of guided immersion and reflective stillness.

DAY 1 – ART & DESIGN LEGACIES | Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a guided visit to Comptoir des Mines Galerie and dialogue with a local artist shaping Marrakesh’s present. In the afternoon, explore the creative legacy of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and wander the vibrant paths of Jardin Majorelle, where color, form, and botanical design meet in quiet harmony. End the day with dinner in a traditional riad—an atmospheric welcome to the city.

DAY 2 – SACRED RHYTHMS AND FLAVORS | Start early with Order of the Golden Triangle, a meditative walk through sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism in the old city. After lunch, explore the souks through the narrative lens of Heart and Souk in Marrakesh, then immerse yourself in Moroccan hospitality at Tasting Morocco, a hands-on experience at the Amal Center.

Italy: Canals to Colosseum

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

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!”

DAY 2 – COOKING AND CITY SPACES | Spend the morning in the kitchen of a local chef learning traditional South American recipes in an engaging cooking class. After the shared meal, continue the day with a guided architecture walk through ten public spaces shaped by Valparaíso’s unique topography and social rhythms.

Together, the experiences offer an intimate look at how people live, gather, and create in this layered urban landscape.
DAY 3 – PHOTOS AND FLAVORS BY NIGHT | Start your final day with a photography walk in Playa Ancha led by a local artist. The session offers both visual guidance and personal stories as you capture the neighborhood’s layered textures and views. After a break, close the journey with a guided golden-hour experience through Valparaíso’s bars and gathering spots.
