I am Matthew your guide, a lay person with a deep passion for Christianity and its living traditions. Over the years, I have travelled extensively across the world to visit sacred places, to pray, and to grow spiritually — from Lourdes to Velankanni, from Fátima to Lalibela, from Annaya to Aparecida.  

I also maintain a strong spiritual connection with Mount Athos and Patmos.

A Different Kind of Tour

My tours are designed differently from standard sightseeing experiences. I work primarily with small, private groups to foster a genuine spiritual connection and a more personal journey.

Together we will:

• Learn about Switzerland’s religious history and ecclesiastical structure

• Visit churches and monasteries of historical and spiritual importance

• Discover artistic masterpieces within sacred spaces

• Attend, when possible, a religious service in the local language

• Have time for personal prayer, veneration of relics, and lighting a candle

A Medieval Monastic Immersion

Some tours include my wearing medieval monastic-style clothing, creating a deeper immersion into the atmosphere of the time. We explore:

• The Church of the medieval period

• Monastic orders and their spirituality

• Traditions and devotional practices

Although I am neither a priest nor a monk, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience. I approach every question with openness, respect, and flexibility — offering thoughtful answers within the scope of my role as a lay guide.
