I love how you are always including little information about the places here and there. This shows sincere interest. Most tourists come to Switzerland to take pictures without taking it all in and having an actual look around and interest and curiosity in the culture. This is much appreciated. ✨🙏🏼

Our top favourite moments in this video: - Hunter's long long hug when Steve came back 😭❤️ - Steve and Hunter rolling down the mountain (Hunter literally has the best dad) - Watching Steve on the mountain cart/trycicle Also, at some point, it looked like the background was fake because it was just soooo beautiful it looked unreal!

Ok, Hunter is the luckiest child in the world. I’m 64 and jealous. Been to Lucerne 20 summers in a row on our elite high school music ensemble trip. Always looked forward to getting there. We often stayed nearby in Engleberg. Surrounded by alps and the most beautiful church. I cannot describe the emotions of conducting an outstanding group of musicians in an outdoor setting and turning around to acknowledge the applause with the mountains and waterfalls in the background. I’m still available for adoption, low maintenance, excellent with children, music teacher. Just saying. 😁

As a father of a 5 year old, the scene when Hunter hugged Stephen for very long and gave a kiss felt so heartwarming, evoking feelings in me on how much I love my son. Thank you for this! Simply wonderful!! ♥️♥️

We stayed at that exact same AirBnB in Lucerne and absolutely loved it. The owners live next door and are both retired architects. They have done a beautiful job restoring the cottage and it remains one of our favourite Airbnb places we have stayed in around the world. I was thrilled to see Jess standing in front of it and recognised it immediately. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Is the friendly pooch still there to welcome everyone?

I've absolutely loved this series. I passed through Switzerland many years ago, and walked along that centuries old wooden bridge. It was so nice to see it again and relive my memories of that stunningly beautiful country. I am determined after watching this series to return, sooner rather than later, I hope. Brilliant filming as always. My heart was in my mouth when Jess was on that swing thing, hurtling fast towards Hunter wandering into the path of it. You cut the film there. I hope it didn't hit her.

hi there, the "river" cruise is actually a lake cruise on lake lucerne or in german vierwaldstättersee, it has lake arms. ;-) the round building is a hotel and contains a self service restaurant which is open during the day. the other building on the other side the long one kulm is also a hotel with the more expensive rooms and a la cart restaurant, which serves the dinner when you stay over night. and yes the sunsets and sunrises are amazing. I was working as a chef two summers up there and back in 2011, we as employes had to stay overnight once or twice a week up there to cook dinner and prepare breakfast. and on the way to making breadfast I was able to catch sunrise, that was amazing. lots of love, wish you all the best

I was watching you earlier when this adorable baby wasn't there. I see that a new tourist has arrived. Switzerland has wonderful mountain landscapes. You showed nicely and informatively how to travel with a small child, but it is possible. In another vlog, someone informed that if someone has a hard time staying at high altitudes, tourists drink a lot of Coca-Cola - supposedly it helps the body adapt to these altitudes.😄
