5.00This was great. The stores in Saint Moritz are wonderful to shop. Pricey, but if you are in the market and know your fashion, ypu are in the right place. The views are amazing. Once in a lifetime or maybe twice are a must do.

5.00Good train trip on “Red Train”. One of the best train trips in the world. Good introduction to Swiss Alps. Guide GiGi, kept it interesting. I was hesitant at first, but the bus ride there was worth the time.

4.00The Bernina express experience was absolutely breathtaking and is a one in a lifetime experience. My guide waited for me and called me to make sure I would make the bus at 7:30 AM. Throughout the bus ride my guide shared so much historical knowledge of Italy and Switzerland. We were able to stop at a mall and grab food. The driver safely got us up the mountain which was very steep so if you’re afraid of heights maybe this isn’t for you. When we got to Switzerland it was beyond words. The views of the trees, mountains and the lakes were nothing I’ve ever seen before and the pictures I took won’t do it justice. We walked around St. Moritz and saw the shopping centers and got to walk along the water. The only thing that wasn’t as enjoyable was that after we experienced all of that we got on the Bernina express train and for another two or more hours we saw the same views on the way back. So the day was twice as long as I feel it needed to be since we saw everything on the bus ride first but it was still an experience I loved. Definitely prepare yourself with a charged phone and portable charger as extra backup because the bus nor train had reliable outlets. Make sure to bring a light coat because Switzerland is chilly and pack a full lunch with drinks and snacks because the day is about 12 hours long and food in Switzerland is very pricey. Definitely take this trip you won’t regret it!
Well worth the trip
