Valentine planned a spectacular trip of a lifetime for us. She took the time to understand the kinds of activities and places we enjoy, many of which we would never have discovered on our own. One of our favorites was our walking tour with Roberta through Gandria, who gave us a personalized tour of this beautiful village near Lugano.

Hotel Jnterlaken

Hotel Interlaken was probably our overall favorite accommodation. The decor was modern and clean, and every room had a balcony with a great view. The location was superb, with restaurants and grocery stores just down the street, and a bus stop right outside. A delightful surprise was our access to play tennis at the Interlaken Tennis Club's clay courts, something very unique to us. It added a fun and unexpected activity to our stay!

Romantik Hotel Wilden Mann
Lucerne

The Romantik Hotel Wilden Mann in Lucerne was a highlight of our trip. Despite being an older hotel, its location was incredibly convenient, less than ten minutes from the train station, which is essential as we traveled everywhere by train. While the week was warmer than usual and the air conditioning was limited, this is understandable in Switzerland. The breakfast was a standout feature with options like champagne that made it feel extra special. This was my wife's favorite hotel!

Welcome to Lugano

The walking tour in Lugano was hands down our favorite activity of the week. Roberta did an outstanding job guiding us and sharing insights into daily life there. Walking through the picturesque village and experiencing the Italian-speaking culture was an absolute delight. This was an experience we wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and we’re so grateful to have done it.

Summer Kayak Tour Lake Brienz
Summer Kayak Tour Lake Brienz
Switzerland

The Summer Kayak Tour on Lake Brienz in Interlaken was enjoyable, but there was a bit of confusion about beach access afterward. We misunderstood and thought access to the beach was part of the package, which led to some miscommunication. However, the kayaking itself was fun, and the views were stunning.
