Breathtaking Private Hike with a Local Swiss Expert (1 day trip)

There's traveling in Switzerland, and then there's traveling in Switzerland with Marc! I was lucky enough to book a day-hike with Marc and the MySwissPanaroma team and it was an unforgettable experience. Marc was very communicative prior to the trip and I was able to work with him to find the perfect hike. I had just recovered from an illness so I didn't want anything *too* stressful, and he was able to find a hike that provided stunning and scenic views, while still being just the right amount of adventure. The day of the hike, Marc arrived early and we were able to get a head-start on the day, using the extra time to stop for a pastry and coffee that we we able to enjoy by a lake that just happened to be on our way. As we drove towards our hiking destination, Marc was a wealth of information about Switzerland. From local history to other things we should do with our time in Switzerland after the hike, the conversation made the car ride go quickly. Once we arrived, Marc was well prepared with bottled waters and we started out on our hike! We were immediately met with scenic views and exactly the kind of hike through the mountains of Switzerland that you’d imagine. Alpine heights, bucolic settings, and absolute peace – all while taking stops for water, photos, or the occasional snack. Marc traveled at our pace and gave us more information about the surrounding area, Switzerland in general, and nearly anything else that came into my head while hiking. We finished the hike just as it was starting to get warm, and Marc prepared a fresh lunch for us right on the side of an alpine stream that marked our finish line. Fresh bread, meats, fruits, and of course raclette cheese tasted amazing, probably because we were hungry, but it also might have been because we were sitting and taking in what can only be described as a postcard view. Marc took care of prepping lunch and cleaning up – he made the experience effortless from start to finish. All told, I genuinely don’t know how you could have a better experience in Switzerland than with Marc and the team. Everything was planned perfectly, execution was flawless, and the experience was exactly what we had hoped for. I cannot wait to return to Switzerland again and I will most certainly be reaching back out to book another unforgettable experience with the MySwissPanaroma team. Thanks again Marc!

I've worked in experiential travel for 15 years and have traveled to over 45 countries-- Marc and Myswisspanorama are among the very best anywhere in the world.  They are absolutely top tier in every aspect of your experience with them. From first contact to post-travel, Marc is communicative, friendly, insightful, and truly cares about your time in Switzerland. These guys do not offer off-the-shelf tours that you most commonly find, especially when booking independently without a travel advisor well-versed in the destination. Marc listens to what type of experience you are after and tailors every detail in order to make your time with them perfect. I compared several companies and ended up going with Marc even though they were slightly more expensive, and it ended up being worth every penny.  Marc took us to some of the most beautiful, quiet, pristine, lovely towns you could imagine, gave us wonderful insight on the culture and history of Switzerland, took us on a stunning hike with not another visitor in sight, set up a great little picnic, and was just a pleasure to be around.  All that to say that I would highly highly recommend that you trust them with your valuable time; you will be happy that you did. 

Our private hike with myswisspanorama was amazing! Marc was our guide and he was the perfect host. After picking us up at our hotel, he took us on a magical tour. On the way to our hike, Marc showed us small Swiss villages, told the story of William Tell, and took us to the most beautiful cemetery we have ever seen. The hike to the waterfall was off the beaten path, and we would have never found it by ourselves. The waterfall and the surrounding hillside felt as if we were in "The Sound of Music" - it was truly that beautiful. Along the hike, Marc showed us white garlic growing wild in the fields, and explained local farming customs thereby demonstrating his environmental expertise. Marc provided a picnic lunch was that delicious and reinforced Marc's philosophy of custom tours. My son-in-law is allergic to gluten, and Marc went out of his way to bring gluten-free bread to the picnic so that my son-in-law could enjoy his meal. The highlight of the picnic was a Swiss grilled cheese and fresh fruit and drinks. Marc found a picnic spot in a small village, next to a river walk, with wonderful views everywhere. After lunch, Marc took us to another waterfall where he surprised us with homemade brownies (delicious, by the way). We walked behind the waterfall where Marc took our family picture - which due to the lighting - came out as a silhouette! A seriously gorgeous photo. Not to be outdone, Marc took us to a chocolate outlet where we sampled mouthwatering chocolate before we headed home. We rated Marc as 5 of 5, but would have given him a higher rating if possible. Marc's attention to detail, flexibility, love of nature, and outgoing personality contributed to a wonderful day. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour because it will be the highlight of your visit.
