SWITZERLAND!!

A few years back we were planning our first trip to Europe with some of our kids and unlike most people who go to Paris, London or Rome as a first trip, I wanted their first views in Europe to be in a few of my favorite places in the world in Switzerland.

When I was in my 20s, I first went to Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Geneva and Lucerne (among others) and I had always wanted to go back when I had family to take with me.

So, that's what we did, and I managed to get there in March while the ski season is still in full swing, ????? but where the cities are blooming with Spring flowers and warmer weather.??????It was everything I had hoped it would be!

We stayed at a wonderful cottage ??in Lauterbrunnen, ??between the cliffs where Murren sits and Wengen and had the best time seeing these amazing places and having a great time skiing too!????

This was core memory stuff and I've been back many times since, but there is nothing like seeing something for the first time, or taking someone to a place you love and letting them see it and fall in love like you did.????

Since this trip, I have been back several times and it is better and different every time it seems.    I've been to Switzerland in the Summer and spent time in the amazing larger cities of Geneva and Zurich, had dinner at an amazing lakeside restaurant in Lousanne and spent nearly a week skiing under the Matterhorn in Zermatt.    I know the train system inside and out and can put together an amazing custom tour or find the right tour for you.    

This is why I love travel so much and why we work so hard to make sure every trip and every vacation has the potential to create these kinds of core memories.??Travel makes the world smaller and bigger at the same time!! ????

Let's GO!! See the world, make some memories!????

Ski Trip Specialist!
Reviewed By Johnny B - Farmington, UT | Traveled to Chile ~ South America
The best travel agent I have ever dealt with! Mike with Designer Travel Agency helped me book a ski trip with my buddies. All arrangements were made in advance, and everything went so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for more. The knowledge he has about traveling and making it easy was so important to me. I will definitely be using Mike again. And not just for ski trips, he has a wealth of knowledge about traveling anywhere around the globe.

Great Cruise - Mike will help pick the perfect one
Reviewed By P Henderson - Draper, Utah | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Mike set us up with a cruise on the Royal Caribbean Ship, Utopia of the Seas! The Utopia was awesome and we did all the things. Zip Line, Rock Wall, Ice Cream, water slides, water show, main show, ice skating show, escape room, kids place, gunnysack slide - all of it!
Coco Cay was amazing, Nassau was fun. Mike set our family up with connecting balconies and helped us find the perfect cruise for our family on our kid's school break. I can't recommend Mike enough!
Michael Bringhurst responded
"Paul! Thank you so much for the kind review and for letting me plan your cruise. I'm so glad your family enjoyed the Utopia of the Seas, what an amazing ship. I'm looking forward to the next vacation your fun family has planned. Thank you, thank you!"

It pays to go with experience! Europe, Japan etc!
Mike has helped me with trip planning on many occasions. I don’t know anyone who loves travel and has had more experience traveling than him. We’ve been places on trips that we would never have found or known about without the details he so often shares with us.
