Our goal was to see as much as possible in 6 days while maintaining an unhurried approach. From the first contact, our experience was detailed perfection. Marc and his team managed everything from airport pickup to hotel and restaurant recommendations.
We hoped to relax and not worry about anything — this expectation was exceeded. The team clearly listened to our preferences.
Our main stops included Zurich, Appenzell, Liechtenstein, Lake Lucerne, Interlaken, Thun, Zermatt, and the vineyards around Montreux.
The best element of our time was our top-tier guide, Manuel. His personality, knowledge, energy, and pride in his country were exceptional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all! While this private tour in Interlaken and Zermatt offers a variety of adventurous activities, including tobogganing, ziplining, and paragliding, everything is fully customisable to suit your preferences. If you’d prefer a more relaxed pace or would like to skip certain activities, your guide will ensure your itinerary is adjusted accordingly.
Yes – on Day 1, you receive Platinum Lounge access at Grindelwald Terminal, private Ice Bar hire with aperitif, and a fully exclusive chocolate-making session at the highest chocolatier in Europe. The chocolate atelier opens privately for your group only – it is not accessible to standard visitors. This level of access is not available on regular Jungfraujoch tickets.
It is a fully private yacht experience. On Day 3, you’ll cruise Lake Thun exclusively with curated Swiss cheese and wine on board, timed deliberately for sunset. This is not a shared ferry or lake transport – it’s arranged for you alone.
