This tour is very eventful for sightseeing enthusiasts. Very few tours feature a Lake Como cruise and a visit to the Swiss Alps together, allowing you to experience the best of two countries in one day (make sure to book the correct ticket type, as options vary). Our tour guide, Mr. Andrea, was excellent, friendly, and charismatic. He provided great historical, geographical, and practical facts during every part of the trip. Helpful Tips Finding the meeting point: We had trouble finding the pickup location, but when we called them, they responded quickly and guided us right to it. Do not stress if you need help. Bus seating: Sit on the right side of the coach for the best angles to view Lake Como and other landmarks.The cruise & breaks: The boat cruise was beautiful with no issues, and restroom breaks were well-timed throughout the day. The Swiss Alps & Red Train: The journey to St. Moritz as you climb in altitude is breathtaking, and the red train views are spectacular. The tour reserves a carriage, so you can freely roam and take pictures from both sides.Train snacks: Remember to bring snacks or food for the train ride. Minor Downsides Limited time in St. Moritz: We wished we had more free time in the city, as we only had about 20 minutes to look around and buy or eat something. Summary: This is an ideal one-day tour combining Milan and Switzerland, and I highly recommend it if you are visiting Milan for a short stay.
"Outstanding" may be overused, but it does apply to the Bernina Red Train. It is very different from other typical tourist day trips.
Very well organised. Clear instructions given about the bus, meeting locations and times. Carolina was really lovely.
Mr. Andrea was a fantastic guide. Professional, friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. Lake Como cruise was fabulous, the journey up the mountain to St. Moritz was breathtaking and the journey backdown on the Bernina Red Train was spectacular. You don’t want to miss this one!
Train ride is worth the long day of bus travel to get from Milan to St. Moritz and back. Great scenery!
The trip was very interesting and truly inspiring . To go from lake Como all the way up to the Alps in Switzerland and pass through all the season and weathers was amazing! Beautiful landscapes ,pictures in snow and feelds of fresh grass!The sudden change from green to white ... Waterfals and rivers,frozen lakes and small villages during that day made me think of how people live there in cold! The guide was profesional and very sweet to tell us all the story with such patience despite speaking both English and Spanish language fluently! We took some great pictures for my painting collection and I liked it very much.The only bad thiong was that you sit the whole day because it is a bus drive than train and bus again! but already tomorrow with a good sleap all was already ok .Any person can find a bad in all good so people cpould say whatever they want,but if you like landscapes and nature this will be a great wxperience .I can not think of anything bad .My brain still travels 2 days after looking at the end of the red train and enjoying the snow and fresh air! I will always remember this day
Katia is an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable. The Bernina Express was such an experience going through the Swiss Alps on the way to St. Moritz!
We had a great time on this tour. We booked the tour with Lake Como and the train. The views were amazing. Our tour guide Simona was very friendly.
Great tour, the views were amazing on the Bernina red train and Lake Como. Our guide Simons and driver were friendly.
We loved the red train through the alps and the stop at both lake Como and St Moritz. Our drivers were skilful through the mountain passes and our guide Cristina was friendly and knowledgeable . I would highly recommend.
