We had the best time on this trip. We often do tours and this has been by far the best one we have ever done - would 100% recommend booking this tour. The views are BREATHTAKING. We had a great time! Both the driver and tour guide were outstanding, not one complaint from us!

The train ride was something my sister had told me about while she was studying abroad in Europe. I am a person. That loves to experience new things and being from Colorado i have always wanted to visit the Swiss alps to see how they compare to our beautiful Rocky Mountains, as our Southern mountains are always considered to be the Swiss alps of America. The trip did not disappoint. It was along day but well worth it and absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Our tour guide, Silvia who is from Leppo, Italy, the first stop to get into a tour bus on the journey to the train. She was fantastic and felt like a friend at the end of the trip. If you have any reservations of doing the trip, do it! My wife did not want to join me but ended up having a wonderful time throughout the day! Highly recommend!

The small group kept the tour very personal, and informative. Daniele had very good English and knowledge of the Bernina train and tour area.

This trip was amazing. We was originally booked for a later date but the weather forecast was awful so Luca went above and beyond to get us on an earlier trip as we were only there a few days. We’re so glad he did. It was so well organised, the guide was lovely and so passionate about what she did. She was so knowledgeable and made sure the whole group had a great time. The trip itself was amazing, the scenery you see is stunning. I think we saw every season throughout the trip. I’m glad we packed hat and gloves as it was pretty cold once we got to St Moritz. Just fantastic. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is in Milan you will not be disappointed. Thank you to Luca and his fantastic team.!

I highly recommend Luca and our guide, Alice! Even though the Bernina Express was closed due to a rock slide on the tracks, we had an amazing day and didn’t miss a thing! We drove through the pass and were able to stop in Lake Como and St. Moritz as well as a few other picturesque towns along the way, visiting a winery, a great little restaurant, and a waterfall . I’m so glad we chose to continue with the trip!

Staci R

We had a great time with Alice! Wish we could have spent more time around lake como instead of the alps part of the trip. It is a long day but worth it!

Tanja_P
