Join me on this cozy, private journey in a minibus tailored for both photographers and creatives as well as their companions.
Embark on this unforgettable private journey through Switzerland's most breathtaking landscapes. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure presents new opportunities at every turn to capture the unparalleled beauty of the Alps. As a local, I'm not only navigating you through these enchanting terrains but also share my best TIPS and TRICKS in photo editing. This trip promises not just memories, but masterpieces. My American friend, Celeste Guidice, a seasoned photographer with a keen eye for capturing the essence of our travels is accompanying me as my Co-Host.
Why join this Trip:
This journey is designed for those looking who seek to combine their love of PHOTOGRAPHY with the thrill of travel. Under my guidance, you will (not only) experience Switzerland's must-see places through the eyes of a local like an adventure but also learn how to immortalize them through your lens. From charming, exclusives stays with a unique flair to the comfort of private transfers, every detail of this trip is crafted to offer you an unparalleled impression of the Swiss Alps. No rush, no large buses – just a wonderful experience.
Unlike standard tours that shuttle from place to place on a strict schedule, we have our own private tour bus. This gives us the freedom and flexibility to tailor our journey to get the most out of each visited site. A smaller bus also means we can reach places others can't and stop anywhere we like on a whim. Our group will enjoy a comfortable and relaxed journey full of beautiful sights, wonderful photos, and time to enjoy and explore.
I am also looking forward to sharing more about the traditions, history, and customs of the places we visit and Switzerland during our journey. For even deeper insights and exclusive tips, visit my blog. In a new section, I focus exclusively on this trip. Here, I share personal experiences, background knowledge, and detailed travel reports that will better prepare you for this unforgettable adventure.
We'll have ample time to enjoy the magic of Switzerland, and my co-host Celeste and I are always available for discussions on photography, editing, and visual creations. There will also be plenty of opportunities to visit local attractions, shop, and explore.
Join us on this journey where every snapshot tells a story and every moment is a masterpiece waiting to be created.
