DAYS 1 - 3
Lake Como
Arrive at a deluxe lakefront resort, your balcony suspended over one of the most famous views in the world. Before you know it, your stress melts away as you breathe the mountain air, take a dip in the pool, and soak in the vistas around you. In magical Bellagio, wander through cobbled streets and past colorful houses as the nearby waters gently ebb and flow. The following day is yours to savor, perhaps venturing to Varenna to hike up to Castello Vezio for panoramic splendor. Your final day in Lake Como is enjoyed aboard a stylish wooden speedboat, cruising past ornate villas, striking lake towns and lush terraced gardens. Last but not least, indulge in a moment of romance with an enchanting walk through Villa del Balbianello.
DAYS 4 - 6
The Bernese Oberland
The next stop arrives after a scenic drive across the border into Switzerland. Sitting below Alpine giants, Lauterbrunnen welcomes you with seventy-two waterfalls cascading down the mountainside. The scenery feels almost unreal, as if you’ve wandered into a fairy tale. After exploring the town, your next day brings more mountain adventure. Set before Wengen, cows graze with bells around their necks, their chimes carrying gently through the valley. Wander the streets of this quaint village, savoring freshly churned ice cream before making your way to the spectacular Trümmelbach Falls. On day six, the Jungfraujoch. Your train glides up and through the mountain, entering a winter wonderland of blue tunnels, a frozen palace, and ice sculptures. It is a view so vast that no photograph can capture its awe.
DAYS 7 - 9
Lucerne
In a show-stopping finish, you will arrive in Lucerne. Getting here is half of the experience as the Golden Panorama Train takes you past glacial lakes, below tumbling waterfalls, and through dramatic crests and deep descents of the Brünig Pass. In two nights on the lake’s edge in one of Switzerland’s most beautiful cities. Your second morning is spent with a local guide, tracing Lucerne's most photogenic corners on foot: Chapel Bridge, the mournful Lion Monument, the crooked lanes of the old town. Along the way, a stop at the city's most celebrated chocolate boutique for tastings you'll be thinking about long after you leave. Then it's onto the water, a leisurely hour by boat across the lake, mountains rising on every side. You’ll have an afternoon to ride the funicular up to the castle-like Hotel Gütsch before basking in the warm glow of Chapel Bridge at sunset.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Our room was amazing and had a breathtaking view of the lake Lucerne with the city line of Lucerne. After two nights in Lucene, we then traveled to Lauterbrunnen. As they say, Switzerland is “Heaven on Earth” we actually did witness that heaven in Lauterbrunnen. The view of the valley of 72 waterfalls was incredible. Our hotel was located near the train station and had a spectacular view from our room.
Our trip was fabulous! Not one glitch. The tours were better than I could have imagined. Our travel designer and her team did an amazing job and provided much needed patience and guidance throughout the planning process.

Travel is an endless adventure. I’ve fallen for India’s people, Italy’s in-the-moment attitude, and Japan’s mix of old and new. Tokyo has my heart!

I love how travel connects you to places and people. Chania, Greece is my favorite spot, but my best memories come back to the people I’m with.

As a self-proclaimed foodie, local cuisine is a big part of why I travel. Japan has some of the best food, and its cities stay rooted in tradition.

Travel introduces me to people I’d never meet otherwise. On one trip, our local guide became our friend and even invited us to his daughter’s baptism!
