UnPack Once and slip into your destination like a local, with on-site UnTours Hosts on hand to make your trip smooth. Support local businesses and cultures along the way.
Powered by its unique style of offering all the fun of independent travel in places like Tuscany, Provence, Ireland, Spain and across Europe, with the planning, service, and on-site support of a tour, UnTours pioneered slow travel and focuses on supporting local communities.
UnTours began in Switzerland, expanded to over 25 destinations over the decades. In each destination, guests settle into their community in a private villa or apartment with the help of a friendly local UnTour Host, who helps them decide what all to see and do, manage logistics and smooth out practical details.
👉 Why UnTours?
Since 1975, we have been finding the best apartments in Europe: scoping out the most appealing locations in a region or city, partnering with accommodations that meet our rigorous standards, and cultivating relationships with local hosts.

Hey Travel Massive community!
I'm Richard, the chief marketing officer of UnTours.
Slow travel has been cited multiple times recently by international organizations as a way forward to mitigate climate impact and support cultural preservation. Important new research reports are coming out soon that will reiterate and expand on these findings.
I've been working on these two areas my whole travel career, and feel that promoting the pioneering UnTours model is a practical way to reach more travelers with this better way to travel.
It's an honor to carry forward such an iconic brand in the travel industry - the world's first B Corp! I get up and go to work every day knowing that any success we have in the form of profits is going directly to the UnTours Foundation, the company's owner, to fund world changing entrepreneurs who don't have easy access to capital. How can you hit snooze knowing that?
Hey Richard,
What an interesting project. Congratulations :-)
It’s been super interesting to get involved with this legacy. Thanks!
We’re actually in Sintra. And Porto. So this is your official notice :) Thanks for the interest!
Lat me know, if you have interesting places in Spain, which is the place I work and write about :-)
We have interesting places in Spain, Hanne!
Aside from our Barcelona UnTour, we have trips in the Subbetica area, as well. Happy to chat more about it.
Excellent to see UnTours focused on sustainable travel while still focusing on protecting the environment. We need to evaluate the way we travel.
