National Geographic Day Tours Release New Land Itineraries with Direct Booking
November 16, 2023
With newly added itineraries and destinations, and the ease to book directly or through travel agencies, National Geographic Day Tours has launched even more opportunities for travelers to explore the world through uniquely authentic National Geographic experiences in one-day and half-day tours.
More than 30 new land tours are added to the now 100-plus tours in 14 countries throughout the world. Travelers will be inspired by the National Geographic storytelling, special access and expert knowledge as tours will be led by National Geographic-trained guides on every itinerary.
Travelers will explore Greece and the fascinating world of bees, discover the Rome of Julius Caesar, unveil the literary genius of Jane Austen in the United Kingdom, dive into the flavors from the melting pot of New York, and more.
Operated by TUI, National Geographic Day Tours harken back to the spirit of exploration that is integral to National Geographic, and many are directly inspired by National Geographic stories, expeditions and research worldwide. National Geographic Day Tours launched in 2022 as shoreside excursions booked through cruise line operators, and now, Day Tours can be booked directly enabling more travelers to see more of the world through the lens of National Geographic.
Newly released itineraries include:
- Barcelona, Spain: Homage to Miró
Discover the artworks of Miró and their interaction with the spaces created to house them by architect Josep Lluis Sert. Miró's work – paintings, sculptures, murals, paper and lithographs – was inspired by artists and poets he met in his journeys throughout Europe, including Pablo Picasso. Visit the Fundacio Miró before it opens to the general public and learn from architectural and art restoration specialists with in-depth knowledge to Miró's work and Sert's architecture. This tour was inspired by an article in National Geographic Magazine titled, "Homage to Catalonia – and Miró."
- Lisbon, Portugal: A Visit to the Oceanarium
Gain an in-depth understanding of the ocean through this tour of the Lisbon Oceanarium, led by a marine biologist with specialist knowledge on the importance of our oceans and its biodiversity. Go behind the scenes and learn about the animals, feeding techniques and engineering behind the aquariums, as well as the Oceanario Foundation's collaboration projects with National Geographic to raise awareness about the protection of our oceans and the marine species that call them home.
- Naples, Italy: The History of Pasta
Join a local historian in the green hills of Gragnano, the global epicentre of dried pasta, and visit a reconstructed water mill rarely open to the public. Visit a family-run pasta factory, hear about their family story and make fresh pasta by perfecting the knead and roll technique, and enjoy lunch made with ingredients sourced from the factory's garden. This tour was inspired by the National Geographic Magazine article, "The Twisted History of Pasta," which points to 13th century references to pasta dishes, including macaroni, ravioli and more.
- New York: Hudson Yards, Where Sustainability Meets Urban Design
Explore the engineering behind this New York neighborhood built above the railway yards in New York City and meet and talk with the design team, including the chief engineer. Visit areas not open to the general public, including a section of the roof with a private observation deck for views of the New York City skyline unique to this location. Inspiration for this tour is from a National Geographic Magazine article, "The New New York City Skyline" in which Hudson Yards is referenced.
- Paris, France: Baguette and Eclair Initiation with a French Master Baker
Take a hands-on lesson in traditional French baking taught by a French master baker and learn the art of making a superior dough, shaping and baking delectable treats, and learn about the importance of bread and pastries to French cultural heritage. This tour was inspired by the National Geographic Magazine article, "Explore the World Through 9 Different Breads."
