Our guide Julia was awesome. Great personality and knowledge of the Alps and surrounding area. The ride itself was spectacular. The light rain and clouds added to the experience.

We loved the Bernina train ride, the views were amazing the whole way up to the summit and did not disappoint. Julia was an amazing tour guide and took care of us and gave us lots of information about the area and towns. You ride the train to the summit and get off at a ski resort and take a van back down another way that has breath taking views. We stopped at a beautiful waterfall and really enjoyed the lake Como area

Our driver Alberto was the best driver we’ve ever had in a tour. Ot was a very safe and comfortable ride. Our tour guide Giulia @inviaggioverso was awesome. All the information she provided was very helpful and she was super fun and friendly.

Anne_J

Great experience. Incredible views and wonderful guide. Well worth the full day. From palm trees to snow capped mountains all in the same trip.

OMG!! If you have the chance please do this. This tour has some sneaky tips that make the experience all the better and a whole lot easier. Our guide Sylvia was a great hostess and her sense of humour made the trip even better. She makes sure everyone is comfortable and includes some bathroom stops which believe me are most welcome and necessary as it is a full day. The scenery and trip are everything you expect and more

Had a very personalised tour with Paola. The highlight of the tour is definitely the Bernina express where the train literally arrives in the alps. Would reccomend this :) The town of Varenna is also charming.

Luca was very kind and friendly. Trip was very well planned. The alps are incredible and our journey was seamless. The driver was also quite good.

Our guide Paola, was phenomenal. I'm visiting from Ocala, Florida in the U.S. and was blessed to have such a knowledgeable and very well educated guide like Paola. This tour will remain etched in my memory and heart ❤️ forever. What an amazing experience.

Super thankful that we took the Bernina Express Train Tour with Luca from Italy. Their excellent organization, extremely easy communication with Luca through WhatsApp and especially the incredibly professional and friendly guide Giulia plus the sunny warm weather all contributed to a most spectacular train tour. We were met by Flavia at Bar Centrale inside the Milano Centrale train station at 8 am sharp. Luca sent us a picture of Bar Centrale through WhatsApp, which was very helpful to locate the meeting point. Flavia helped us board the 8:20 am local train to Varenna and met our tour guide of the day Giulia at Lecco enroute. Giulia was super friendly and provided us with fantastic details of the surroundings and some history of the area. We were met by our driver at Varenna train station, had a short walk along the lakefront of Lake Como to our breakfast place near the Church of St. Giorgio. We then visited the cellar of the Ciapponi family in Morbegno and tasted different kinds of cheese there. Lunch was at the station square near the Tirano Train Station where the Bernina Express departed at 1:40 pm. The Bernina Express was amazingly spectacular. Sceneries kept changing as we elevated. After about 15 minutes from the start of the journey, we reached the famous Brusio spiral viaduct. Giulia pointed out numerous scenic points along the train ride for 1 hour 50 minutes before reaching the Bernina Diavolezza Station where our driver was waiting to take us to St. Moritz in Switzerland by car, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful Swiss Alps through the extremely winding Bernina Pass. One unfortunate event was that a family in our group missed the Bernina Express, so Giulia had to make numerous phone calls and exchange messages to help them get on a later train to meet us at St. Moritz. Again, Giulia displayed awesome capability, efficiency and professionalism with incredible competency to the travel profession. We took the 7:15 pm train from Colico and arrived at Milano Centrale at 8:40 pm. That marked the perfect end of an awesome train tour that we would highly recommend to other visitors.

Wonderful day! The Alps were amazing. I didn’t realize when I booked this trip that we crossed into Switzerland. It was a great surprise. Lake Como is beautiful. The train is comfortable and provides great views. Thanks Luca!
