Honestly I need your expert advice.
I'm a luxury traveller who expect high standards in everything. I'm planning a very special trip this summer (August 10th - Sept 1st) with my Parents and adult 2 sisters to Europe and I definetly looking for your advice.
Few things about us that I think will be helpful to you to know:
- We are looking for something luxury and top notch.
- We will not drive, so cities with easy access public transportations and taxi).
First: Switzerland (very flexible)
we are looking for stay in 2 cities ( one major and the other is a resorts town) :
a- One major vibrant tourist destination city with nice scenery over the lake either around Lake Geneva (Montreux, Geneva or Lausanne) or lake Zurich (Zurich and Luzern)? which one do you suggest ( vibrant and non boring) from your experience.?
b- A couple of Days in a Swiss Breathtaking Luxury Resorts Town? I was browsing the internet and there are so many towns that I impossible to choose from by myself without an advice! ( Interlaken, Zermatt, gstaad, St. Moritz , Adermatt ...etc) which one is the top notch in terms of scenery and luxury?
Second: Italy - preferably by train
a- Milan is a must for shopping (for a week) and a night in Venice as well.
b- 2-3 nights in either ( lake como , Lugano, Maggiore , Garda) which one of the lakes you prefer?
P.S: Budget is not an issue, I'm looking for the best of the best places to make the trip truly unique.
Thank you so much for your time in advance, I really truly appreciate it.
Sincere.
