Testimonials
Five Stars!
My husband and I traveled to Switzerland from the USA on the first stop for our honeymoon. Not knowing much about the country and/or region , we were looking for a more personalized “Swiss” experience . After reading some excellent reviews , we came across Andrea Caspani from My Mountains. From the very start, Andrea was extremely attentive , prompt in his response , personable and helpful. We booked the Peak to Peak Hike which offered desirable and unforgettable views. Andrea also brought us for cappuccino and a nice lunch along our hike. He suggested on an alternate day we do the hike and fly tour which was a once in a lifetime experience! Paragliding through the mountains was amazing ! I would highly recommend My-Mountains and specifically Andrea for any tours and/or excursions within the region. You too will be in for a once in a lifetime experience. Andrea felt like a longtime friend of ours. Andrea also assisted us with mapping out his recommendations for restaurants in Luzern and assisted us in buying our train tickets back to the airport the next day so that our journey was hassle-free! I wouldn’t book work anyone else ! Highly recommend !
