What an unforgettable tour with guide Luca, driver Mario and coordinators Nico and Paola. Everyone was attentive to our group from California from start to end - and the winter wonderland sights were so magical to behold! The Swiss train system must be the best system in the world - and in boarding the first train in Milan, our group was so easy to find. Sign up for this amazing day…
Memorable and excellent journey

Our day trip with Luca was excellent! We were assisted by his colleague, Luisa and Salma at the beginning of the trip and continued served by Luca and Alex for the remaining of our day trip. No doubt Luca delivered extramiles for our family to enjoy every single moment we had during the trip. Thank you so much Luca, definitely will recommend your service to our circle of friends and colleagues. Keep up the great service and smilling as always. ChrisFam

it is a long trip mostly spent on a cramped bus. Beautiful views during the journey. Very little time spent in St. Moritz. The return is not by train but bus and is subject to traffick delays. Our guide Julia was knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver was skilled and patient.
