Tell us about one of your favorite places to stay on an Untour. Do you have a favorite host? Apartment? Village?
The alpine apartment Kandersteg, Switzerland has been our favorite. The location was ideal for walking to the train and the view of the mountains in the morning was breathtaking.
Do you have any special interests or hobbies that you follow when you travel?
Finding inexpensive, regional wines
What is the funniest thing that happened to you on an Untour?

Which Untours have you already done?
Spain, Switzerland (Oberland), Sicily
What advice would you give others considering an Untour?
A great way to travel and not always feel "on the go". Creating your own itinerary and having flexibility are great features. Do what you like.
