Beautiful scenery.

Sara_H, May 2023

Quite a long coach trip from Milan although worth it for the terrific scenery. Switzerland is beautiful.

Beautiful

Sharon_S, May 2023

Amazing trip through the Alps!! We had snow in May - the entire experience was beautiful! The train ride was everything I had hoped for.

Well worth ti.e and money

Karen_H, May 2023

Omg where do I start? Was brilliant from start to finish, our guide was amazing and knowledgeable. The sights was breathtaking. Everything was as planned all through from the hotel pick up To the drop off. About a 2 hours stay in St Mortitz which was plenty of time and the train was spectacular. Long travel time was exhausted, but well worth the rime and money

our day in switzerland

Nancy_W, Apr 2023

We enjoyed the narration of the guide on the scenic drive up to St Moritz. We were surprised to find so much closed upon our arrival…just not understanding that we were here in the wrong season. So there was like no choice for a lunch restaurant. The Bernina train was fabulous!!! We so enjoyed the scenery and must have over 300 photos. The stop for 20 minutes in Tirano was a complete waste of time. Perhaps if we had gotten on the bus sooner we could have avoided the accident that shut down traffic for an extra 2.5 hours. Certainly no one’s fault but boy were we exhausted. Our guide also promised to show a few of us the taxi stand and she didnt … for me i was rather frightened about finding a cab…

well worth the fare

Dalton_N, Apr 2023

what a wonderous sight those mountains and lakes were. As petroleum geologist and engineer I loved what I saw and proud of the engineering knowledge so long ago

Having fun.

Melissa_P, Apr 2023

The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The bus was comfortable but the ride very long on the bus. The train ride was fun.

Amazing experience!

Save Yourself From A Painful Experience

JamesJ_R, Feb 2023

The pickup at our hotel was perfect but it was a very long day that could be done in half the time for half the price. Also, they rushed everyone to the coach in St Mortiz so much that people were out of breath!

The countryside and its...

Rodolfo_D, Sept 2022

The countryside and its beauty. Good guides and a fabulous driver. Coach could have more leg room. Switzerland is beautiful.

Best feature was the Train, but the bus ride and organizaation was not good

Rita_S, June 2022

The Train Ride was wonderful. However, we did not have time to do much and felt rushed in St Moritz. In addition, it was Sunday so almost everything was closed. I was looking forward to buying the advertised chocolate and we did not get to purchase that. I booked the tour that had hotel pick up and that did not start very well. They told me 6am pick up and then by 630am no one had picked us up. I called and they said they had sent me a message that driver was sick and couldn't pick us up. We had no such message from the Tour Operator. In addition, they told me to take a Taxi, yet the Taxi workers were all on strike since 2 days before and they didn't even know that. We had to find an uber at last minute and almost lost the tour. Never received any apology nor any follow up on the fact we didn't get picked up from the hotel as agreed, and that we paid extra for that tour. Never even got reimbursed. Worse of all, we did not book the one that had multiple stops, however somehow that's what happened. We had 2 additional stops from the pick up point which is why in my opinion we were rushed in St Moritz and were not able to see everything promised on the 'What to Expect'. These 2 additional stops for pick up and for drop off took time away from our tour. It was definitely not expected. It also made a long day even longer. So the whole experience was terrible, and it took away from the amazing train ride.

Boarding the Bernina...

Gerard_m, June 2022

Boarding the Bernina Express @ Tirano and the trip to St Moritz.Our guide was excellent for giving you just what you need to know without rambling on.Friendly and approachable.The train itself is an engineering marvel.The trip is worth every cent.

Beautiful holiday experience to reminisce

BERNARD_C, May 2022

stunning views of the swiss alps, pristine lakes including frozen lakes, the vast swiss settlements all in a 2.5 hour red train ride from St. Moritz to Tirano. Thank Tour director Marco and driver Donatello for the tour coordination and safe bus journey.

A beautiful excursion!!!

Aileen_P, Dec 2019

Everything about this trip was lovely. Very well organized I enjoyed the tour director. The history and information she provided was excellent. The scenery was beyond any expectation I had. I highly recommend it!

Bad experience

Richard_B, Oct 2019

The hotel shuttle driver picked us up at 6am, he dropped us off at 6:15 and said the next bus comes at 7:30. The tour guide was unprepared, wasted time getting headsets working so took away from tour time. Bus driver did not know how to turn on USB ports and we did not have wifi as advertised.

Outstanding trip

COLLIN_W, Sept 2019

Totally worth every penny to take this trip and ride. The scenery alone was breathtaking and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Swiss Alps...just breathtaking

domingo521, Aug 2019

The Swiss Alps are very impressive. Taking the Bernina train through the alps was a highlight. The tour itself I didn’t find to be all that attractive. I found the sights to be more enjoyable.

Good experience

Vanessa_V, Aug 2019

It was a tiring but super worth it tour. I just wished there was an overnight option for this tour. But overall, it was worth the time and money spent. Will so it again in winter!

Family Vacation

Great Trip - worth it

Ken_R, June 2019

Was a brilliant trip, great driver & tour leaders they kept everyone informed. My only question is why do you have to take your passport as no one looked at them Loved the tour and will recommend it to our friends
