Make Your Next Trip Extraordinary

Even though our main goal for the trip was to hike the Alps, with the help of Ana and the team we experienced so much more of Switzerland

We just returned from two magnificent weeks in Switzerland, all planned by Ana Marques and the rest of Nina’s office. Switzerland is more beautiful than we even imagined. The amazing itinerary that Ana planned allowed us to do and see so much…and yet we felt relaxed and had time to enjoy everything. Our main goal was to hike in the Alps, but we also wanted to experience the cities, towns and beauty of Switzerland.

We went to Zurich, Zermatt, Kandersteg, Interlaken, Wengen/Lauterbrunnen Valley, Bern and Lucerne. Ana arranged all our wonderful drivers, tour guides and special tours. We covered so much ground and had so many incredible experiences like kayaking on Lake Brienz, a tour of a cheese dairy farm, learning about watch making and a delicious chocolate tasting! All the hotel properties were perfect for us and really added to our entire Swiss experience. All the restaurant recommendations were fantastic.

We hiked a total of 8 days of our 14 days and each hike was better than the next. Hiking in the Alps is truly incredible. Ana even provided hiking trail suggestions for each day. We did many of those hikes. Even though our main goal for the trip was to hike the Alps, with the help of Ana and the team we experienced so much more of Switzerland. We are forever grateful to them for the most amazing two weeks touring their beautiful country.

Every aspect of the trip—transfers, hotels, guides—went off without a hitch

Fantastic trip! Every aspect of the trip—transfers, hotels, guides—went off without a hitch. We chose to go to Switzerland in August to escape the heat, but unfortunately the heat followed us there. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nina and David without hesitation.

We loved the hotels as well as the guides they picked

Ana and Simon did a great job planning our trip. They took care to get input on what we wanted, crafted and shaped the itinerary based on our feedback, and even managed to squeeze in a last-minute request to visit a store in Zurich. All this with utmost courtesy and patience. We loved the hotels (especially Coeur des Alpes and Hotel Montana Lucerne) as well as the guides they picked. Many many thanks to both of them for a wonderful vacation.

Ana arranged for us to go by helicopter and see the local traditions—cheese making, eating polenta and alpine horns. We were the only foreigners...

We traveled to Switzerland for 16 days in late June with the help of Ana. I asked a lot of her because we were traveling with our 4 grown children, our daughter-in-law, and our 10-month-old granddaughter. She did a great job of finding interesting activities that all 8 of us could enjoy! We hiked, had a raclette lunch in a candlelit cave, rafted, mountain-biked, wine-tasted, and much more! We had 3 major destinations—Zurich, Wengen and Ascona. Wengen was our favorite—beautiful views of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau, accessible only by train and no cars in town. However, the true highlight was in the mountains near Ascona. There was a local alpine festival for the opening of a cattle-grazing area high in the mountains. Ana arranged for us to go by helicopter and see the local traditions — cheese making, eating polenta and alpine horns. We were the only foreigners there and the people were very welcoming! We loved this trip!!
