We were very lucky, our group was small, with 6 paxs and we were also blessed to have Paolo as our guide! She was awesomely knowledgeable, patience & accommodating since we had a small group. The Bernia train ride was basically out of the world with Paolo guiding us which windows to be ready for the magnificent views! Flavio, the driver was nice/polite & he safely drove us when required! It is really a worth tour to take if you have a short time in Milan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book this Tour!! We had the best day. Worth every penny too. PAOLA our tour guide was Super!! She was very informative and personable. The group we were with was 19 people. Perfect size. Our Coach Bus was extremely comfortable and had huge windows to take in all scenery. My husband and I can’t stop talking about all that we got to see in one day. Beautiful!! Beautiful! It was everything and more that we were expecting.

This was truly an experience worth every moment. Although the tour lasted a full twelve hours, not a single minute felt wasted. The itinerary was well-structured and ran smoothly throughout. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and provided insightful, thoughtful commentary, while the driver was both professional and courteous—both left a lasting impression. The picturesque town by Lake Como was simply enchanting. Boarding the Bernina Express took the experience to another level, with breathtaking views all along the way—quaint Swiss villages, cascading mountain waterfalls, and the majestic glaciers of the Alps. It was a journey filled with unforgettable beauty.

This tour far exceeded our expectations! The tour guide Silvia and the driver were fantastic! It is a long day but well worth it! The Bernina train ride was incredible, and Silvia was super helpful in finding good seats for us and letting us know which side of the train to go on for the best highlights. We spent enough time in St. Moritz to buy some Swiss chocolate and view the nearby lake, and have a cocktail before our journey back to Milan We highly recommend!
