I have just returned from an amazing trip to Switzerland traveling with Signature’s Destination Specialist, Queen of Clubs, a luxury lifestyle service provider that works strictly with Travel Trade only. They strive for excellence in both quality of product and quality of service for each bespoke itinerary curated. On this 5-night Signature Educational Journey, I experienced Switzerland on a different scale of comfort and luxury.

I flew from Detroit to Zurich and I upgraded my airfare to Delta One and it was the best money I have spent on airfare. (I am hooked and I won’t go back to main cabin.) I added on one night in Lucerne so when I arrived into Zurich I had a 1.5 hour train ride to Lucerne. Delta One definitely made this much easier not being exhausted. Trains are down to the minute so if you have a train at 11:38am don’t get on a train at 11:34am. Once the train leaves then a car attendant will come around and verify tickets and passports. I was met at the train station by a member of the Mandarin Oriental Palace Luzern for the transportation to the hotel.  The hotel was amazing and the staff thinks of what you need before you know you need it.

• My itinerary began in Zurich with stunning views of the lake and a town rich in European history reflected in its architecture and subtle works of art. The growth in innovation and excellence in this metropolitan city is unmatched and only compliments this city's rich history.

• I then explored one of the most impressive upland valleys in Switzerland in the Andermatt, a ski-haven during winter, a nature photographer's dream in the summer. We did a walking tour of the village – only 1200 people live there – truly authentic Switzerland. We were then off to Pontresina which is close to St Moritz. This village has breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps and the Grand Hotel Kronenhof has 175 years of history

• Lake Lugano, located on the southernmost tip of the Italian Alps borders Switzerland. This retreat to a relaxing spa day with scenic views of the tranquil mountains was amazing.

• Then, I hopped onto the Bernina Express to St. Moritz, Switzerland, the birthplace of Apline winter. Exploring this fabulous city and the world-class services it offers from high-end restaurants to luxury-brand shopping was too much fun!

Queen of Clubs can create any experience of what your clients might be looking for. We did a carriage ride with a private lunch next to a lake. We also did caviar tasting in a small store that sells caviar to people around the world that tasted the caviar there first. We also did boat tours on Lake Lucerne and also Lake Lugano. One of the highlights was the Bernia Express from Pontresina to Tirano Italy. It’s a 2 hours trip that passes by 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, and is truly a breathtaking journey.
