This 4-hour cultural journey begins at the iconic Topkapı Palace, once the epicenter of the Ottoman Empire's power. As you stroll through its luxurious courtyards and opulent rooms, you will delve into the lives of sultans who ruled over centuries. Each corner of the palace tells a story of intrigue, opulence, and governance that shaped the region's history. After exploring the depths of royal history, enjoy a leisurely break with traditional Turkish tea or coffee at a nearby café, immersing yourself further into Istanbul’s enchanting atmosphere. 

The journey continues at the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets. Here, history intertwines with daily commerce as you navigate through a maze of shops selling everything from jewelry and textiles to handicrafts. The vibrant energy of traders and the rich array of goods offer a vivid snapshot of Istanbul’s cultural and commercial dynamism.

This experience seamlessly connects the opulent history of Ottoman sultans with Istanbul's vibrant commercial heritage. Starting at Topkapı Palace, you'll wander through opulent chambers where sultans once determined the fate of empires. Your guide will bring historical figures to life through captivating stories of the court, revealing the sophisticated artistry and lavish lifestyle that defined Ottoman power at its zenith.

You'll then plunge into the energetic pulse of the Grand Bazaar. Inside the bazaar's labyrinthine passages, centuries-old trading traditions continue uninterrupted, creating a sensory tapestry of vibrant sights, haggling, and exotic scents.

Japan

Tokyo's Ginza district is a virtual playground for global architects and Japanese studios, showcasing their skills in creating commercial spaces that double as sculptural statements. Professional photographer and writer Toshiko leads you on an exploration of Ginza's finest examples of modern architecture, curated from a long list of the who's who of architecture and design.

These architectural statements serve as offices and showrooms for the world's most luxurious brands — names like Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Mikimoto. Toshiko introduces each location with deep knowledge, a passion for the subject, and the keen eye of a seasoned photographer.

Ginza's vertical architecture reflects both limited land space and Japan’s obsession with precision and detail. Along the route, you'll have the chance to explore a little deeper: a bookshop with a vast art and design collection, a shop featuring Japanese-designed goods from around the country, and a coffee break in a contemporary design cafe.

Tourists and locals alike come to Ginza for a shopping and dining experience unmatched in most cities. To many, the buildings are just glossy wrappers for the luxury brands inside. But in reality, many of them are cutting-edge architectural works — conceptual prototypes that have shaped, or will shape, future building trends across Asia and beyond. Several were designed by Pritzker Prize winners and include innovations in façade engineering and sustainable design.

Toshiko has been photographing and writing about Japan for many years as a travel journalist. Her deep curiosity — especially about urban design and architectural aesthetics — makes her a fount of knowledge as she guides you confidently through the stylish streets of Ginza.

Along the way, she may point out lesser-known gems for you to revisit later and share personal favorites in design: a bookstore with an expansive visual arts collection, and a curated shop showcasing contemporary Japanese design from across the country.

Mexico

Reimagine what we consider disposable through this crafts, sustainability, and traditional materials workshop. In a charming first floor space in CDMX's Condesa neighborhood you'll explore the artistry of recycled paper and natural dyes and discover their cultural history.

You'll transform discarded paper into handmade creations and experiment with vibrant local pigments like cochineal, Palo de Campeche, and Añil—dyes deeply woven into Mexico’s history, from ancestral craft to colonial exploitation. As you work with these natural colors, you'll gain insight into their ecological and cultural significance, connecting past traditions with modern sustainability.

Beyond technique, this experience invites reflection. You'll delve into the legacy of these materials and their ties to our shared environment. Through a blend of history, art, and sustainability, you'll not only develop new skills but also see everyday waste in a new light—turning the discarded into something meaningful.

This workshop is a way to create something meaningful, learn deeply, and leave with a piece of Mexico’s heritage in your hands. It combines hands-on creativity with thoughtful discussions, diving into the transformation of recycled paper and the use of local natural dyes. You’ll gain hands-on experience to better understand the techniques and principles behind sustainable crafts and creativity, discovering how handmade recycled paper offers an eco-friendly alternative and a creative way to deal with waste.

Based in Mexico City's Colonia Condesa, the workshop is a small unique space in this popular part of the capital. Here, you'll be inspired by the natural fibers and materials around you, as well as your host’s expertise in art and design. This is a special opportunity to become acquainted with traditional natural dyes—sidelined by European colonialists—such as cochineal, Palo de Campeche and Añil, working alongside practitioners dedicated to preserving sustainable textile crafts.

Italy

Trace the evolving skyline of contemporary Milan through the lens of Emanuele, a professional photographer. This experience leads you through Porta Nuova, a district that has redefined the city’s skyline with its futuristic towers and bold urban design. Starting in the afternoon, you’ll explore iconic landmarks like the Unicredit Tower—the tallest skyscraper in Italy—and the award-winning Bosco Verticale, where vertical gardens transform residential buildings into living ecosystems.

As you move through the area, your guide will share tips on composition, perspective, and light, helping you capture the contrast between glass, steel, and greenery. Piazza Gae Aulenti becomes the stage for the final part of the experience, just as the lights come on and the atmosphere shifts. The fountain’s reflections, the interplay of shadows and neon, and the golden hour create the perfect setting to explore the visual rhythm of Porta Nuova’s architecture with a trained photographic eye.

It’s in Porta Nuova that Milan’s transformation comes into focus—mirrored surfaces, sharp verticals, and unexpected voids that shift with the light and the time of day. This district tells a story of transformation, best understood not through facts, but through observation.

Emanuele shares a way of seeing shaped by over a decade of photographic work and by years spent reading urban spaces through his lens.  With him, architectural photography becomes less about documentation and more about atmosphere, rhythm, and intent.

You’ll slow down, frame what you might have overlooked, and notice how reflections bend perspective or how a single passerby can alter a composition. What sets this experience apart is the encounter between a cityscape still evolving and a visual approach rooted in curiosity, detail, and storytelling—ending, like any true Milanese evening, with an aperitivo.

Photo Walk in Milan’s Porta Nuova, exploring modern architecture, reflections and urban geometry.

The Edges of New Milan

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 quiet curiosity about the world around him.

Spain

This experience invites you to encounter Granada not as a checklist of sites, but through the textures and stories that define its soul. In the company of an expert historian, you’ll explore the Alhambra—the most intact Islamic citadel of the medieval world—through its Nasrid Palaces: Mexuar, Palace of Comares and Palace of the Lions. Each space is a distinct chapter in the story of Al-Andalus, from poetic inscriptions to the precise geometry of Moorish design. You’ll move through the Renaissance symmetry of Charles V Palace and the gardens, fountains and arches of Generalife. 

Midday brings you to a historic restaurant within the Alhambra complex, where Nasrid-inspired dishes are served in a setting that echoes the palace’s refined detail. Then, a private visit to the oldest guitar workshop in Spain, with a demonstration by a guitarist.

The day ends with scent in a 16th-century palace. You’ll blend your own fragrance at a small perfumery rooted in Andalusian botanical tradition.

If you have just one day in Granada—limited time but craving depth and immersive wonder—this exclusive experience offers rare access, guided interpretation and sensory immersion, distilling the city’s essence into an unforgettable journey. Led by a local historian who knows Granada’s symbols, stories and hidden paths, you’ll experience the city through all five senses.

You’ll walk through the finest examples of Islamic architecture in Europe and trace how Muslim, Christian, Renaissance influences layered over one another to shape the city’s soul. Inscriptions and design details breathe life into the walls, turning this legendary monument into a living world of beauty and meaning.

In a single narrative arc, you’ll move from architectural grandeur to taste, craft, scent—experiences usually scattered or hard to access. Each encounter—with historian, luthier, guitarist, perfumer—adds a human heartbeat to the day. These are real exchanges with people preserving Granada’s traditions. 

Your journey begins through the eye, stepping into the Alhambra—the best-preserved Islamic citadel of the medieval world. With an expert guide, you’ll move through its Nasrid Palaces: the Mexuar, the Palace of Comares, and the Palace of the Lions—each a masterwork of Islamic design. These sit alongside the Renaissance geometry of the Charles V Palace, a Catholic imprint at the heart of a Moorish site. Together, they reveal how aesthetics and power shifted over centuries.

You’ll also walk through the gardens of Generalife, where carved arches, tiled walls, and water channels compose a living poem. From the Patio de la Acequia to shaded courtyards, the Alhambra unfolds as a canvas of history—where light and shadow still move through the architecture of empire and imagination.

Your host, Pablo, is not just a guide—he’s a trained historian with deep knowledge of Al-Andalus and the architecture of belief. With him, the Alhambra becomes more than a monument. You’ll uncover how geometry expressed divine order, how inscriptions told political stories, and how water features embodied cultural meaning.
Rather than covering the whole site, Pablo selects specific best-of spaces that illuminate the religious and political shifts that shaped both the palace and the city.

The Alhambra is often seen as a postcard. With Pablo, it becomes a living text—where you’ll read history through design, and understand what made this citadel the intellectual and artistic heart of a lost empire.

Walking Tour of Alhambra, Granada, where art, architecture, memory reveal the soul of Al-Andalus.

The Alhambra with a Historian

After this visual immersion, your sense of taste takes over in one of the most refined settings within the Alhambra complex. Seated in a serene dining room that echoes the palace’s elegance, you’ll enjoy a meal inspired by the culinary traditions of the Nasrid court.

While the menu can be tailored to your preferences, Pablo recommends the Menú Nazarí—an eight-century‑inspired tasting experience that revives dishes once served to the sultans of Al‑Andalus. You’ll begin with a spiced harira soup and a crisp briwat filled with poultry and warming spices. Then comes Mediterranean seabass (shabil) with a yamalí crust, layered over alboronía—a Moorish stew of pumpkin and eggplant.

The main course features a slow-cooked beef shank with apple and saffron-glazed eggplant. Dessert brings together zalabiyya fritters drizzled in honey, a dark fruit arrope syrup, and a delicate myrtle (arrayán) sorbet.

This stop stands out because it transforms historical gastronomy into a lived experience. Far from a generic “Andalusian meal,” this is a carefully reconstructed culinary narrative based on archival recipes and traditional ingredients. The ambiance of the setting—one of Spain’s most iconic hotels inside the Alhambra—elevates the act of eating into a time-travel encounter. You don’t just taste: you participate in a centuries-old cultural ritual.

An immersive journey engaging taste, smell, and touch through Nasrid culinary art.

Nasrid lunch in Alhambra 

In a 16th-century palace owned by a family of master perfumers, your sense of smell will be awakened. In this exclusive and intimate workshop, you will learn the structure of fragrance and create your own scent, inspired by the floral, resinous, and herbal aromas of the Alhambra. You will not only take home a bottle of this unique blend but also the formula, preserving a personal, aromatic memory of your journey. This moment invites you to explore how scent can embody memory, identity, and the ephemeral poetry of place.

The uniqueness of this stop lies in its blend of artistry and intimacy. You are not just observing a craft—you become part of it. The setting, a noble palace infused with centuries of scent, enhances the experience. The master perfumer’s guidance turns chemistry into poetry. By the end, you hold in your hands a bespoke perfume: a bottled fragment of the Alhambra’s spirit, and your own emotional connection to it.

Perfume Workshop

The afternoon is dedicated to the sense of hearing. You will be welcomed behind closed doors into the oldest guitar workshop in Spain, a space of wood, strings, and silence where craftsmanship lives. One of Granada’s most experienced luthiers will introduce you to rare classical and flamenco guitars, ancient string instruments, and centuries-old scores. You’ll then be joined by a professional guitarist who, through live music, will guide you through a soundscape that links the Alhambra’s past to the cultural resonance of modern Spain. This is not just a concert—it is a sonic journey into the city’s soul.

What makes this visit unique is its authenticity and intimacy. Rather than a public show, it is a personal invitation into a creative space, located in Spain’s oldest guitar workshop and accessed exclusively behind closed doors. The instruments you see are handcrafted, some bearing historical resonance. The music you hear is not merely performed—it is contextualized and woven into a narrative about Granada’s place in global musical history. This dialogue between maker, player, and listener becomes a deep acoustic memory.

Originally from Minnesota, multimedia artist Shannon McEvoy studied in Viña del Mar in 2010. The country and its people left a lasting impression on her, and she quickly returned after graduation. Inspired by the street art of Valparaíso, she incorporated Chilean muralism into her undergraduate Honors Thesis and later became a muralist herself.

Shannon has lived in Chile for over 10 years, where she teaches English and creates murals—though her talents extend far beyond. She also paints, sketches, makes ceramics and jewelry, designs her own clothes, and experiments with photography. As an artistic director, she has overseen several monumental public art installations in Santiago and beyond.

Passionate about both art and language, Shannon sees them as powerful tools for self-expression and meaningful connection. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she also speaks basic Portuguese.

This curated itinerary is crafted for travelers with limited time who still want to experience the spirit of the city through its streets, storytellers, and night scenes. From image to word to taste, this is Madrid distilled.
DAY 1 – FRAMES, WORDS, AND TAPAS | The day begins with a black-and-white photo walk through Madrid’s morning light, guided by a professional photographer who shows how to frame shadows, textures, and urban contrasts. In the afternoon, a local writer leads you through the Barrio de las Letras — once home to literary legends — sharing how Madrid’s stories live on in stone and street. As the sun sets, two local hosts take you deep into the city’s nightlife, where conversation, tapas, and culture flow through the bars of Chueca and Malasaña. It’s a vivid blend of reflection and revelry — a full portrait of Madrid in a single day.

It is designed for travelers who want to understand the city through its art, flavors, and living culture, not just to see its landmarks.
DAY 1 – MURALS AND MEXICAN FLAVORS | Begin your journey with a guided tour of Mexico City’s revolutionary murals, where each wall tells the story of politics, identity, and art in motion.

Walking alongside a historian, you will uncover the stories of this ancient site and imagine the scale of life in the first great city of the Americas.

Mexico City Roots and Stories

3 days in Mexico City reveal murals, Frida and Diego, Teotihuacan, and food tours across the city.

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.
