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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Sevillian Table

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

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

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

Sweet Traditions & Living Art

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

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

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

The Royal and the Sacred

You’ll be granted rare access to normally off-limits parts of Seville’s City Hall — an important civic building rich with Renaissance detail. Next, visit a private palace still lived in today, where your host will walk you through intimate spaces layered with art, furniture, and family history. Finally, step into a brotherhood chapel closed to the public, a jewel-like space used for devotional preparation during Semana Santa.

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

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

Portugal

Hosted by an award-winning sommelier in her elegant Lisbon home, this private wine tasting is a true masterclass that takes you across Portugal in five glasses — each reflecting the unique terroirs and native grape varieties that define the country’s winemaking regions. The three-hour session begins with a guided overview of key regions, from the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley near Porto to the rural heartland of Alentejo in the south.

You’ll learn about vineyard cycles and aging techniques before diving into a series of sensorial games on how to taste wine properly—exploring appearance, aroma, and palate — plus practical tips on food pairing, vocabulary, and wine storage. Alongside the wines, you'll sample Portuguese charcuterie and cheese sourced from across the country. This experience offers an in-depth yet accessible introduction to Portugal’s rich and varied wine culture — all without leaving the capital.

Unlike typical tastings in a bar setting, this is an intimate experience set in a sommelier’s private home. As a respected member of several Portuguese wine brotherhoods, Teresa brings both expertise and a passion for demystifying wine. She’ll guide you through the country’s regional contrasts—from the acidity of Vinho Verde to the bold, structured blends of the Douro, and beyond.

Slowly, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of Portugal’s winemaking landscape and learn how to recognize both the distinctions and common threads from north to south. This private session, limited to four guests, encourages curiosity and open conversation. You’ll have the space to ask questions not just about the wines, but about the people and places behind them—stories, techniques, and traditions that define Portuguese wine and set it apart from the rest of Europe.

This hands-on workshop offers rare access to one of Portugal’s most endangered crafts: Bisalhães black pottery, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. In a small mountain village north of Vila Real, just a few remaining artisans keep this tradition alive.

You’ll step into a rustic, working atelier to see how local earth, fire, and ancestral technique come together to form these matte-black pieces. After a live demonstration of traditional hand-molding, you’ll take a seat at the wheel to shape your own, guided step-by-step by the master potter.

If weather allows, you’ll also witness the outdoor firing process—where pine needles and broom branches are used to stoke the open-air kiln. This method turns raw clay into its distinct black finish, a transformation unchanged for generations. Your completed piece is then fired, carefully packaged, and shipped to your home — a tactile memory of Douro, shaped by your own hands.

In Bisalhães, black clay pottery has been shaped by hand for centuries—but today, only a few master potters still practice this endangered art. This experience offers rare, personal access to one of them, in a setting far from the commercial workshops of larger towns.

Inside the workshop, you’ll learn how the clay is prepared, shaped and dried using traditional tools—some passed down through families—and how the outdoor kilns, fueled by pine and broom, are smothered post-fire with moss, earth and sand to lock in the signature matte-black finish. The method is entirely natural: no glaze, no paint, just earth and fire.

Under the artisan’s guidance, you’ll craft a piece using age-old techniques, then watch as it’s hardened by fire into a singular object. First documented in 1709 and inscribed in 2016 on UNESCO’s Urgent Safeguarding List, this practice is at risk—but alive. This is a direct act of preservation, a moment to connect to a cultural practice shaped by place, patience, touch.

Your guide is a local Bisalhães potter from a family lineage of black-clay artisans, inheriting techniques passed down for centuries. Trained from childhood, they preserve every stage—from clay selection to wood-fired kiln mastery. As both teacher and storyteller, they offer an insider’s perspective on the community oven (“soenga”), the division of labor, and the cultural urgency behind UNESCO’s 2016 inscription . Their dedication to safeguarding this fragile craft — and their warmth in guiding your hands — transforms this session into an intimate and memorable encounter with a living heritage.

Step into one of the most awe-inspiring remnants of Imperial Rome with a visit to the Baths of Caracalla. Commissioned by Emperor Caracalla and inaugurated in 216 CE, this vast complex was designed to showcase the power and grandeur of the empire. More than just a place for bathing, it served as a hub of social life, physical training, and political networking for thousands of Romans every day.

As you walk through towering brick walls, crumbling vaults, and surviving mosaic floors, you’ll gain insight into the sophisticated engineering that powered these baths—from underground furnaces to a complex water supply system. Along the way, you’ll learn how the site reflected the ambitions of a ruler who sought to project strength through monumental architecture.

Through archaeology, stories, and visual traces, Chiara will show you how daily rituals and imperial ideals came together in one of ancient Rome’s most advanced public buildings.

With a background in art history and a specialization in ancient Roman architecture and restoration, Chiara offers a deeply informed and engaging perspective on one of Rome’s most imposing archaeological sites. As you walk through the vast remains of the Baths of Caracalla, she weaves together archaeology, imperial propaganda, daily life, and mythology—bringing the site to life through the very stones that shaped Roman society.

You’ll learn to interpret ancient symbols, understand how thermal architecture reflected political power, and explore how the ruins were reused through the centuries. Chiara welcomes questions throughout, allowing personal interests to emerge naturally in the dialogue.

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.

Cityscapes of Tokyo

3 days in Tokyo exploring temples, culture, neighborhoods, local food, architecture, and nightlife.

United States

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.
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.

Chile

Sand, Salt & Stars in Atacama

3 days in the Atacama Desert exploring clay, salt flats, flamingos, stars, geysers, and springs.

Over seven days, Buenos Aires greets you with ritual, rhythm, and grand facades before the road opens west to Mendoza and the Andes. This week balances guided encounters with space to breathe. You will taste the city in markets and kitchens, learn its stories in theaters and cemeteries, and feel its pulse in a milonga. Then the mountains take over with horseback trails at sunset, fireside asado, wine in the thin air, and time with artisans who keep tradition in their hands.
DAY 1 – ARRIVAL, MATE, MILONGA | Arrive early or the day before so the city can settle around you. In the afternoon, a guided tasting introduces the ritual of mate with a local host, including high-quality blends and traditional biscuits that frame the story and etiquette. After a short pause, the evening unfolds inside a real milonga with a professional dancer who explains the codes and ronda. You may join a dance or simply observe with a glass of wine.
DAY 2 – PALERMO AND CORRIENTES | Late morning brings a guided food walk in Palermo Soho that moves between bakeries, markets, and grills for classics like empanadas, choripán, and steak cuts, paced like a seven-course meal. Rest in the afternoon or wander the plazas. In the evening, a guided walk along Avenida Corrientes ties together theaters, beloved bookstores, and café culture, with simple tastings that carry the street’s late-night spirit.
DAY 3 – BELLE ÉPOQUE AND EMPANADAS | Begin with a guided architecture walk that links Belle Époque façades on Avenida de Mayo, the symbolism of Palacio Barolo, and a pause in a period café before finishing near Teatro Colón. It is history told in stone and light. Later, join a hands-on empanada class in a local home, rolling and folding before sharing wine and dessert.
DAY 4 – LA BOCA AND SAN TELMO | A guided photography tour leads you through La Boca’s color and San Telmo’s market streets at an unhurried pace. Your photographer helps with timing and composition so scenes and stories fall into place, whether you carry a camera or a phone. After lunch, head to the airport for an afternoon or evening flight to Mendoza.
DAY 5 – ANDES SUNSET RIDE | Keep the day open until the mountains call. In the late afternoon you are collected in Mendoza city for a guided horseback ride with gauchos, timed to the soft light of sunset. Afterward, gather by the bonfire for an asado with salads, fresh bread, and local wine, often set to live guitar. Return to town with stars above and woodsmoke on your clothes.
DAY 6 – HIGH-ALTITUDE ASADO DAY TRIP | Set out on a guided full-day trip into the Andes with a stop for local treats and mate before a scenic viewpoint over the Uspallata valley. Continue to a high-altitude estancia for an open-fire asado paired with wines and stories about the ritual’s meaning. There is time to taste, to learn, and to take photographs with guidance from your host. Expect a generous day before the easy descent back to Mendoza.
DAY 7 – ARTISANS OF MENDOZA | Spend the morning on a guided visit focused on handmade work at Mendoza’s artisan market, meeting makers of gaucho leather, textiles, and fine crafts. Your guide helps with context and conversation, and may include a short stop at city boutiques for additional pieces. Choose something meaningful to carry home. Fly back to Buenos Aires in the afternoon for a final night or connect onward if timing allows.
WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES AND MENDOZA | In Buenos Aires, Palermo suits walkers who want cafés, galleries, and late meals nearby. Recoleta feels elegant and central, good for quieter nights and classic architecture. San Telmo places you near markets and milongas with a short ride to the center. In Mendoza, stay in the City Center for easy departures and lively evenings, or choose Chacras de Coria and Luján de Cuyo for vineyard air and slower mornings.

Argentina

Tango to Andes in Argentina

7 days in Argentina: Buenos Aires to Mendoza with tango nights, wine, mate and asado in the Andes.

Even in just one day, Buenos Aires leaves an impression that lingers. With the right rhythm, it’s possible to feel the city’s contradictions and connections—its political weight, its everyday rituals, and its emotional expression through dance. This tightly curated journey is for travelers passing through, but curious enough to look deeper. In just a few hours, you’ll move from monuments to mate to milonga—each one revealing a different heartbeat of Argentina.

DAY 1 – POLITICS, MATE, AND TANGO | Begin with a guided walk through Recoleta and surrounding landmarks, led by a local historian who traces Argentina’s story through symbols of power, resistance, and memory. In the afternoon, sit down in a quiet home for a mate ritual—learning the codes of hospitality, preparation, and connection that define Argentine daily life. As evening falls, step into a neighborhood milonga, where a tango dancer guides you through the unspoken rules, the music, and the beauty of a tradition that still pulses through the city. It’s a single day—but one that distills the emotion, tension, and grace of Buenos Aires.

WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES | Choose Recoleta for a graceful start close to monuments and morning walks, or Palermo for an energetic finish and late-night rhythm.

One Day in Buenos Aires

Fernwayer’s perfect one day in Buenos Aires blends politics, mate tradition, and tango after dark.

This 9-day journey moves slowly, by design. It winds northward from Dubrovnik’s stone alleys to Trieste’s borderland boulevards—passing through the shifting light of the Adriatic, Roman ruins, and café-lined riverbanks. It’s a route for those who want to feel where they are, not just see it.

You begin in Dubrovnik, not just walking its walls but seeing it with new eyes—through a local archaeologist’s lens, then from a boat at sunset, where the city turns gold against the sea. In Split, Diocletian’s Palace is less a monument than a lived-in maze, full of locals and light. The journey pauses briefly in Trogir—an island town where everything slows naturally—and optionally detours into Istria for hill towns, truffle hunting, and wine trails.

Inland, Plitvice Lakes shifts the tone again. Here, you follow paths through mist and waterfalls, letting the natural rhythm reset your pace. It’s not just a break between cities; it’s a space to recalibrate.

Ljubljana greets you with quiet confidence. A walkable capital, it pairs Baroque charm with bold design and street art. You’ll move from riverbanks to castle views to the experimental district of Metelkova, all at a pace that invites observation.

You end in Trieste, where languages and histories mingle. This last chapter offers options—Karst wine tastings, Austro-Italian cafés, or a final walk along the sea. It’s a soft landing, full of contrasts and continuity.

This is a trip not stitched together by highlights, but shaped by transitions—each place flowing into the next, each experience deepened by what came before. Its travel made deliberate.

Slowly, From Croatia to Italy

9-day itinerary through Croatia, Slovenia & Italy — photo walks, coastlines, culture, historic towns

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

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

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

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

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

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

Greece

Athens in Three Acts

3 days in Athens exploring art, cuisine, the acropolis of Athens, Greek traditions, and rebetiko.

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.

The Douro Valley reveals itself slowly—through the rhythm of its hands, its vines, and its landscapes. Over three days, trace the threads that connect craftsmanship, heritage, and nature. Guided by artisans, winemakers, and naturalists, you’ll experience the valley’s heritage through craft, taste, and time — with space to pause, breathe, and take in its enduring beauty.
DAY 1 – CRAFT AND HERITAGE IN VILA REAL | Begin in the mountain village of Bisalhães, where black pottery has been shaped by hand and smoked for centuries. In this guided workshop, meet the last artisans still practicing this UNESCO-listed craft and learn how local clay and pine smoke create its distinctive matte finish. Later, continue to Casa de Mateus for a private visit through its baroque halls, chapel, and gardens, before sitting down to a relaxed wine lunch in the palace’s original kitchen — a warm space of stone walls, copper tools, and timeless flavors.
DAY 2 – THE BOTANICAL QUINTA | Spend the day exploring the valley’s heart with Carlos and Paulo. Begin with a silent cruise along the Douro aboard a solar-powered boat, then ride in a restored vintage Bedford van up the terraced hills to a working vineyard and botanical estate. Walk among citrus trees and vines, visit the estate’s small museum, and taste their own Port Tonic and gin made from local herbs. A picnic lunch beneath the olive trees and an afternoon tasting at a nearby olive oil and wine producer round out a day of slow rhythm and vineyard life.
DAY 3 – THE WILD NORTHEAST | Travel north to Terra de Miranda, a land of forests, stone villages, and old customs. Guided by naturalist and photographer Alexandra Melo, explore chestnut groves and mountain viewpoints near Bragança, where wildlife and rural traditions coexist. Visit local artisans and dancers who keep alive the folk rituals and wooden masks of the mirandesa culture, a heritage recognized for its uniqueness in Portugal. It’s a day of stories, photography, and quiet connection with nature before returning through the valley at sunset.

Craft and Vine in the Douro

3 days in Douro Valley exploring pottery, vineyards, and the wild landscapes of the Northeast.

A luminous journey across water and stone, this five-day itinerary invites you to slow down and savor Venice through the lens of art, history, and quiet beauty. Blending guided tours with self-led explorations, it’s designed for the traveler who seeks meaning in details — reflections on the canals, the hush of palazzos, the rhythm of walking, and the stories behind each façade. From golden mornings in Dorsoduro to early light in Burano, this itinerary balances movement and stillness, guiding you through the city’s most evocative moments.

DAY 1 – PIAZZA AND PALACES | The journey begins with a private photoshoot guided by a local photographer, capturing your silhouette against the soft light of bridges and canals. In the afternoon, you’ll step into Piazza San Marco and explore the Basilica at your own pace before heading to the Doge’s Palace for a self-led visit through grand chambers and secret passages. The city’s layered history sets the tone for a slow, immersive arrival.

DAY 2 – ART AND WATERLINES | You’ll start the day with a guided walking tour of Dorsoduro, a neighborhood where artists’ studios and gondola yards share quiet lanes with shaded piazzas. In the afternoon, a self-led visit to the Gallerie dell’Accademia invites contemplation among Venetian masters. As the sun dips low, a guided boat tour leads you into the lagoon, where the colors of the city shift and settle into still water and sky.

DAY 3 – HIDDEN ISLANDS | The morning opens with a guided boat tour to far reaches of the lagoon, where wild gardens, quiet docks, and local stories unfold beyond the well-trodden paths. After returning to Venice, the afternoon brings a visit to Ca’ d’Oro, whose lacy Gothic façade still hints at its gilded past. This is a day shaped by contrasts: untouched nature and ornate palaces, silence and shimmer.

DAY 4 – EARLY VENICE | You’ll rise early to join a local photographer for a guided photo walk through Venice in its quietest hours — when soft light filters through the city. After a long break, the evening continues with a self-led visit to Teatro La Fenice, where velvet seats and golden balconies hold centuries of drama and renewal. It’s a day for observing beauty in quiet, fleeting moments.

DAY 5 – BURANO AND THE VINEYARD | The final day takes you beyond Venice to Burano. With a fisherman as your guide, you’ll explore hidden corners of the lagoon by boat before reaching a secluded vineyard island for an experience shaped by tradition, salt air, and handmade wine. It’s a gentle farewell to the floating world — where time bends around water, craft, and conversation.

WHERE TO STAY IN VENICE | For a balance of calm and character, Dorsoduro is an ideal base — less crowded than San Marco, yet central enough to walk everywhere. Travelers seeking an artistic, design-forward atmosphere will appreciate hotels along the Zattere or near Campo San Barnaba. For early morning views and slow starts, canal-facing stays in Castello or Giudecca offer space to breathe, with the city always within reach by foot or vaporetto.

Seen and Lived in Venice

5 days in Venice exploring palaces, canals, island vineyards, and the golden light of the lagoon.

Naples may demand a lifetime to understand, but even in one day, it can leave a lasting mark. This journey was designed for travelers short on time yet eager to feel the city’s pulse — its contradictions, its stories, and its spirit of creation. Beneath the chaotic rhythm lies a place of beauty and resilience, where history is never past and craft remains a living language. From the depths of its underground world to the sunlit studios along the coast, this day reveals Naples as a city that continues to shape — and be shaped by — its people.
DAY 1 – UNDERGROUND AND HANDMADE | The day begins with The Belly of Naples, a guided exploration beneath the city’s streets with Michele Carneglia. Walking through ancient tunnels and aqueducts, you uncover the hidden layers that support the life above. After lunch, travel along the coast to Vietri sul Mare for Shaping Love with Clay, a hands-on pottery workshop with Elvira Peduto. In a single afternoon, Naples shifts from stone to softness — from history preserved to art created — offering a full-circle glimpse of its creative soul.
WHERE TO STAY IN NAPLES | Stay in Centro Storico to start close to the morning tour, or in Chiaia for an easy coastal route toward Vietri in the afternoon. Both offer quick returns and a sense of the city’s rhythm.

La Serenissima to Modern Milan

10-day itinerary in Italy through Venice, Bologna, Milan, a mix of culture, cuisine, scenic beauty.

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

A day out for hiking at fundy

This is the view of The Red City, Marrakech’s medina from the panoramic terrace of Maison de la Photographie.

The museum of photographs is fascinating in how it came about – two famous photographers, Patrick Menac’h and Hamid Mergani, brought together their common passion for vintage Moroccan photography, and pooled their photos for the public to admire. Here I realize how black-and-white photos can dramatize the light-and-shadow effects in the medina.

From the terrace, you can have a glass of mint tea, and wonder about the thousands of satellite dishes that dominate the view. 

It’s peaceful here. On a clear day, you can see the snow-clad High Atlas Mountains. But you can’t see the chaos of Djemaa el-Fna, or hear shouts of ‘Balek!’ whenever donkey-carts come through laden with heavy goods. You can’t see the ‘hand of Fatima’ good-luck symbols painted on the carts after they have ambled past you. Or count the number of chickens being transported on the back of a groaning Vespa.
