- jeffandmarciam0 contributionsThe Matterhorn and Zermatt private tour, a MUST do activity. Ask for Pete!What an incredible time we had with Pete during our tour! My wife and I enjoyed Pete's company, he shared many insights about Zermatt. He also has a great sense of humor! He led us on a hike from one of the viewing areas down to a wonderful restaurant, Alphitta, where we listened to live music and enjoyed the hosts' kindness. We had great views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Alps! What a fabulous day! Thanks for making it so enjoyable, Pete!!Written 18 September 2024
- I1098ELricks0 contributionsGreat Tour of Mt RigiThomas was a great guide. He took the time needed with us, and was very thorough in his descriptions of the sights. There was a mixup in the tour content, which caused some early issues, but Thomas helped to alleviate/correct them very well.Written 2 September 2024
- elizabethbW2833MD0 contributionsGreat Informative TourAmalia was incredible. Told us amazing stories about the history and brought it to life. She was engaging, warm and extremely fun. We had a delightful time and hated for the tour to end. My son said that the tour was really good and the best tour we have had on this trip.Written 17 July 2024
- pkind0 contributionsGreat Private Walking Tour of Lucerne for the FamilyWe took the Private Cheese and Chocolate tour. Denise was an excellent guide who knew a lot of history of Lucerne and the buildings. She is very personable and was also great at giving tips. I would suggest taking this tour at the beginning of your time in Lucerne because she has great recommendations for restaurants and place to visit. The balance of cheese/chocolate tasting along with history makes this a perfect tour for the family. I highly recommend this company!Written 15 July 2024
- NYSojourner0 contributionsGREAT HIKE - GREAT COMPANYI hiked much of Mount Pilatus with Sari. it was a beautiful and challenging hike for about four hours or so. Sari Was super nice, helpful and a pleasure to be around. My dealings with Andrea or excellent and professional and I would highly recommend this tour outfit for sure!! JoelWritten 14 July 2024
- mariafU5548YK0 contributionsGreat experience!Our guide, Gabriella, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and flexible. She listened to what we had hoped to see and managed our expectations very well especially due to the weather. We took a trek of the quaint town and then up in the hills to get a higher perspective of the village. The views were magnificent and lush. Finally, we took the train up to Gornegrat to see the various peaks. While the clouds partially covered the Matterhorn, the experience was surreal especially being high up at 10,000 feet, covered in snow. We did get to see the Matterhorn on the way down. Thank you for a wonderful time!Written 16 May 2024
- staceylein30 contributionsFabulous fabulous fabulousWe had a fabulous time with Andrea! There is no way we could have navigated the mountain without his expert help. I highly highly recommend using Andrea for any of your ski trips in Switzerland. He made dining reservations for us for lunch and guided us safely across the mountain. we had a wonderful wonderful time with him 😊Written 2 April 2024
- Heather D0 contributionsSt. Moritz Ski TripWe had a super half day of ski instruction from Giorgio who help us become familiar with the mountain. The following day, Paola provided us with excellent instruction which improved our skiing and confidence on harder runs.Written 4 March 2024
- dsavassi0 contributionsGreat day in the mountainsWe had a great half day ski lessons in Elgelberg. Our guide Ying was super experienced, friendly and helpful during the whole time and also tailored the experience to our skills and the conditions of the day. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their skills whilst having a joyful day in the mountains!Written 28 January 2024
- lailabrown8100 contributionsPerfect!Our tour guide, Ezra, was fantastic! He was the perfect balance of easy going and informative, relaxed and knowledgeable, accommodating and experienced. Switzerland is a beautiful country and we will be back!Written 9 January 2024
- Sam02070000 contributionsPete is the best guide - what a wonderful family day!Such a great option for a family excursion. It's perfect if you have people in your group who don't ski, but you still want them to experience the magic feeling of being on the slopes. Me, my sister, and our parents had Pete as our guide, and he absolutely made the day for us! He made the day so easy and was incredibly attentive to all of our needs. His agenda was much more fun and memorable compared to if we had just booked tickets up to Gornergrat and toured alone. He took us on a breathtaking hike through the snow and to a mountain restaurant for an excellent lunch with a view. One thing to note, the hike is a little steep - it might not be right if you have someone with mobility issues. However, since it's a private tour, I'm sure this part of the agenda could be changed. Thanks to Pete, we also got way better pictures and videos of this awesome excursion, instead of just our usual selfies or incomplete family photos we normally take when travelling. We will never forget this trip! What a great investment into our family memory bank.Written 1 January 2024
- 905mihail0 contributionsGreat Ski Camp - ZermattAn awesome experience in the wonderful and mesmerizing Zermatt - Matterhorn ski paradise. Andrea guided us into the specifics of the ski area and then we proceeded to evaluate our skiing skills and compiled a complete 3 day training plan with fun exercises to improve our skiing skills and make this sport more enjoyable. Great explanation on the mental and physical aspects of this sport and each day was finished with a friendly discussion and debriefing with video analysis of the initial skills and the progress made after the exercises. Andrea handled everything for us (accommodation, ski passes, weather check and ski planning) so that we could focus on the learning, training, skiing and visiting Zermatt. Great experience , both from sport side and sightseeing side. Highly recommend it!Written 11 December 2023
- C433LFirinak0 contributions3 half-days ski camp I’m Zermatt with Andrea from My mountainThank you very much , Andrea, for this ski camp experience, it was very well organised, we went to ski to different ski areas of Zermatt on different days . Andrea analysed everyone’s ski style, corrected mistakes and provided individual feedback and recommendations. The group was great , can only recommend this 3-half-day ski camp with AndreaWritten 10 December 2023
- Mlhew620 contributionsMemorable day! This private excursion is a must.Pete was absolutely amazing! He was so attentive to us. He made sure we didn't miss a thing. His knowledge of the ares is unparalleled. His pre-excurion communication texts helped eliminate the usual pre-excursion jitters. He did everything in his power to ensure we experienced the mountains in every way possible. Our lunch was exquisite. I highly recommend this private excursion. It is worth every penny. Be sure to ask for Pete!Written 9 September 2023

My family very much enjoyed our afternoon with Andrea. He escorted us to several dairy farms on the outskirts of Lucerne where we met many friendly cows, cats, and rabbits. Along the way he pointed out mountains, lakes, and city landmarks, and told us about the history of Lucerne and Switzerland. At the farms he talked about the different kinds of cheeses they make, and some of the cow varieties we saw. At one of the farms he showed us the farm’s little shop, from which he procured fresh milk, apple juice, fruits, and, of course, a variety of cheeses based on our tastes. We hiked a little further to a beautiful viewpoint where we ate cheese and drank juice. Very delicious! After that was the walk back into Lucerne and a bus ride back to the city centre.
We were very happy with this walking tour. Andrea was very friendly and a great conversationalist. Our 13 year old son had a lot of fun and learned quite a bit too.

I'm glad to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful experience with Andrea during your walking tour! It sounds like you had an enriching and delightful day exploring the dairy farms and the outskirts of Lucerne. Andrea's knowledge about the local history, landmarks, and the cheese-making process seems to have made the tour not only enjoyable but also educational.
The interaction with the friendly animals, the scenic beauty of the mountains and lakes, and the opportunity to taste fresh milk, apple juice, fruits, and a variety of cheeses must have been a unique and memorable experience. The hike to the beautiful viewpoint, where you enjoyed cheese and juice, sounds like a perfect way to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
Andrea's friendly demeanor and engaging conversations clearly made the tour even more enjoyable. It's wonderful to hear that even your 13-year-old son had a great time and learned something new during the tour. It sounds like Andrea's guidance and the overall experience left a positive impact on your family's visit to Lucerne.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and review of the walking tour with Andrea. It's reviews like yours that help others make informed decisions about their travel experiences. If you have any more adventures or experiences like this, feel free to share them!

Our guide Livia was kind, welcoming, & flexible with both the weather (rain) situation and accommodating to our accessibility needs. She was knowledgeable and great to chat with as well. Views were beautiful. Found through Air B&B experiences- we got to see an area near Luzern that we wouldn’t have thought to see without a professional guide!

We cannot express our gratitude enough for Amalia’s great tour. She showed us a side of Switzerland we wouldnt have been able to see on our own. She knew so much about Lucerne and was able to answer all of our questions. The views were immaculate and Amalia kindly took our photos in front of the beautiful scenic views. The cheese was amazing and we got to see so many cows!! My friends and I loved this unique experience and it was worth every penny!

Worth the money to spend time with a private local guide and see the beautiful countryside overlooking Lucerne. We enjoyed meeting the farm cows and visiting the farm shop. We also got some pro tips from our guide to better enjoy our stay in Lucerne. It's nice to see the area through the eyes of a Swiss local. Highly recommend.

Our tour with Sabrina was the best tour experience, we’ve ever had! She was passionate, knowledgeable & experienced! The views from the top of the hill, were incredible & the walk, beautiful! She took us to 2 farms, where we were able (through her translating) to communicate with the farmers & were even provided with a tour of their entire operation ❤️My goal on our trip to Switzerland was to see the countries very special cows & possibly get a cowbell! Sabrina was able to share my thoughts with the farmer & before I knew they allowed us to purchase one of their bells! Sabrina is an incredible tour guide that I’d highly recommend to anyone! She will always hold a special place in our hearts! ❤️

Glenn was a fabulous tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about Lucerne. We walked a couple miles, touring 3 farms. It was exciting to see the baby calves and try the local cheese and meats from the farms. Thank You Glenn for the fun day!
