Awesome experience. Lake Como boat ride was good. The Tim spent is St Moritz was great and the train ride down from St Moritz to Tirano on the Bernina Red train was breathtaking!
Tour guide didn’t follow the itinerary he didn’t covered full itinerary as we paid full amount for the tour!!! I won’t suggest Viatour
DO NOT BOOK WITH THESES GUYS On the way to the pick up point there was a car crash so we was 10 minutes late ,they didn't wait 10 minutes yes that's right 10 mins on a 12hr trip costing £488 ,no refund no chance to change the date ,absolutely gutted to lose that kind of money !!
We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. The meeting time and meeting point were clearly communicated in advance, with guests asked to arrive 15 minutes before departure. Unfortunately, you arrived approximately 25 minutes after the meeting time. This is a shared tour with a fixed schedule that includes both the cruise and the train, so punctuality is essential out of respect for all participants. We even delayed our departure by a few minutes, but we could not wait any longer without affecting the rest of the group. We also offered you the opportunity to join the tour the following day, but this option was declined. We sincerely regret that you missed the tour and wish you the very best for your future travels.
Great scenery. Informative. Not enough time to use rest rooms and not enough time to shop/eat in Switzerland. Great to see the things but need more time.
Beautiful scenery, nice amount of time in St Moritz. Guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. One unfortunate part was that our family was not seated together on the train. Our coach was packed and there was no effort to seat people in a way that we could be together. We were the last to board and we were in random places all over. Additionally because the coach was at capacity it was hard to get pictures. People at the windows didn’t make space for others. Fun trip overall though.
Ok just read some rather stupid reviews sorry not trying to offend. We missed our original trip but managed to get on today monday 29th june. Now first i would say people read the statements of what is included! This trip was awesome and interesting and absolutely stunning. Yes, the plan apparently said it does include a guided tour of St Moritz but hey its 13 hours already and we did not waste time. Our tour guide and drivers were brilliant and helpful. It was not a trip to visit and tour towns it was a guided tour of Lake Como and the train trip and seeing the Como in its beauty and the Alps. The money was not an issue 13 special hours is about 10 Euro and hour with a tour guide and drivers! Anyway, this troup was special and did a great job I would highly recommend. Oh and next time guys make sure its not raining ....... only kidding maybe people think you can change the weather to.
This is a long day trip but you cant go wrong with Como and Switzerland. It’s totally worth the time. Temperatures were low in St Moritz so dress warmly. Our guide Carolina MG was phenomenal and managed all the activities and group phenomenally. I would highly recommend this tour and above all Carolina. Would def say hi to her when i am in Milano area next.
Cruising on Lake Como and travelling by the Bernina express are both dreams....and this trip brings them together beautifully. A day well spent- marvelling at the beautiful sights each place has to offer. Would recommend bringing a pullover for St. Moritz as it gets slightly chilly.
Thank you for such a beautiful description of your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that the combination of Lake Como and the Bernina Express made your day so special. It truly is a unique journey, and we’re delighted that you were able to enjoy the stunning scenery and create lasting memories along the way. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in the future! Best, Serena
