“My mom and I went together on our last day in Switzerland. The company was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We are not in the best physical shape and required a slower pace, and Geoff was incredibly patient and encouraging. Alex and Stefano were also very helpful. The activity is VERY physically demanding, so you must be able to climb, swim, and walk uphill. Overall, we are so thankful for this experience!”

Private Lugano and Morcote tour with Lake views, 16th-century frescos, optional Parco Scherrer, plus pickup, about 4 hours.
“Giorgio Ghidotti gave us a wonderful guided tour of Lugano, Morcote, and Parco Scherrer. He was very knowledgable of the area, explained the many things we saw in Lugano, and afterwards took us for a comfortable ride down to the extremely picturesque town of Morcote. This town was named one of the most beautiful in Switzerland in 2016. And the highlight of Morcote was visiting Parco Scherrer. Textile merchant and art amateur Hermann Arthur Scherrer purchased the house and a hectare of land on a hill in Morcote. Following years of work, the hillside and terraces were slowly covered in cypresses, camellias, camphor tress, eucalyptuses, cedars, palm trees and bamboo…”
