Spectacular Day

5.00We had an amazing tour of the hidden gems around Zurich! The tour was completely at our pace and he made sure to meet all of our requests throughout the day. We were able to see places that normal tourists would never find on their own, including breathtaking views around Lake Lucerne. One of our favorite touches was that he brought authentic Swiss snacks for us to try, which made the experience feel even more special. He also took pictures of us along the way so we now have beautiful memories of our day in Switzerland. The entire experience felt personal, relaxed, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Switzerland beyond the typical tourist spots!

5.00Good Sir, greetings and salutations, hope this review finds you well and crazy busy! This is the first time we’ve done something like this, let alone in another country. Beautiful weather… check! Snow caped Swiss Alp Mountains… check! Multiple gorgeous scenic overlooks… check! Unexpected mid-afternoon Sky Gliders from two different location sites, appearing on que 5 mins after we arrive, what are the odds… check! Treated with some tasty snacks and a delicious lunch… check! Finished off with some desert, bombarded by the front door aroma when entering, and then enjoying some of the best death by chocolate Gelato, courtesy of “Vittorio Vanini1871” bar none… check! Closing out the evening overlooking the cityscape of downtown Zurich from the balcony of the chateau restaurant, sorry, I forgot the name, with a snap of the top shelf liquors behind the bar… check! Added bonus, hanging out with a fellow shutterbug all day… talking software and gear acquisition syndrome Canon vs Sony… check! Our day booked with you, was without question, a photography trip of a life time, resulting in time well spent, with gorgeous weather. You not only set the bar but exceeded all of our expectations and then some! I would highly recommend to anyone to request your services to visit all the scenic sights and areas that Europe has to offer! P.S. Kudos, to your trusty side-kick, Ms. Kaycee, who makes all things seemingly impossible, when you least expect it… possible! Do appreciate the next day service with providing the full-resolution photos and video. You Rock Girlfriend! I have a favor to ask, could I trouble you for an itinerary list of all the places we visited from start to finish, to make sure I don’t overlook anything when putting together a photobook of our wonderful trip. Please and Thank You! Thanks for the memories! Merry Christmas! Billy & Bridget McGee
