Very disappointed that the Lake Como section was cancelled by the operator at short notice, leaving no option in my itinerary to find an alternative option. The Bernina Train and the Alps were great, but Lake Como was an important part of my trip so missed out on the opportunity to visit.
Stunning panoramic view of majestic mountains of Switzerland alps. Enjoyed myself in the winter paradise passing by the beautiful lake Como departing from Italy 🇮🇹
Returned back to our hotel following a full day on the coach train to St Maritz. The scenery was stunning, however it seems the group size is too big for the staff to manage. There was mass confusion initially with staff unsure which coach to put us on. Then the train was rammes full. Everyone fighting for the best seats. We were crammed in to a a four seating area with two on one side and two in the other, face to face. It was too close for comfort and I didnt want to move to take photos due to the lack of space. This company wants to maximise profits and disregard customer satisfaction as a result. £120 is not worth this experience.
Great experience.Our tour guide apma and our driver enzo did a great job. The Bernina express was great, I want to come back in the summer
Wonderful experience. The Alps are stunning and St. Moritz was incredible. Our tour guide was great and informative. Sit on the sunny side of the train for the best views.
Alejandro was informative, attentive to the needs of tour members & funny! Fabrizio, bus driver, did an amazing job of maneuvering the bus around very twisty roads!
Shorten time to get to train as that is best part. Long day!! Let people know if have motion sickness to prepare.
Our guide Mia was very knowledgeable about the Lake Como and Bernina train areas. Enjoyed learning about the beautiful area, it's history, and good tips for enjoying meals in the areas. Loved the trip and high recommend it. Also wonderful bus driver in this mountainous area.
I had a tour booked for the Bernina Express. Our plane was delayed by 42 hours so we couldn't make it and asked to move the days. They did but it was on some other train and not our VIP. Okay - I can accept that. BUT - the tour guide barely explained anything throughout our trip AND then once on the train kept telling people to stand and take photos. The issue with that was people were blocking the view of those of us on the other side. He never once said - "get your pics and sit back down so others can see" - the result was that IF you happened to sit on the left side of the train, you missed almost every major site. I was literally in tears b/c this was what I looked forward to most on our trip. In addition - the tour guide was trying to take a photo of a couple and stepped into our seat area blocking my view and photo attempt of one of only two sites on our side of the train. I was flabbergasted. He stood between me and my boyfriend and blocked us from seeing. It was a terrible experience. I did enjoy the few stops we made - St. Moritz was so neat. But the train experience was awful.
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t fully met. However, we would like to clarify that your original booking was for the standard train, not the VIP class. The train you were rebooked on was of the same category. There was no downgrade — we simply accommodated your request to move the tour after a 42-hour flight delay, doing our best to assist under difficult circumstances. As for the train experience, it is common practice on this trains that passengers stand and move around to take photos. Like the others, you had the same opportunity to shift sides to enjoy the view or take pictures. We also want to say that our guide on your tour is one of the most professional and appreciated in our team. While we’re sorry you didn’t feel the commentary was engaging, we regularly receive excellent feedback about his work.
Amazing day! Excellent drivers, excellent tour guides and wonderful sites visited. Ten out of Ten! Train through the Alps was absolutely beautiful! Claire on the Lake Como part was so knowledgeable, friendly and adorable.
