5.00Beautiful Tour and a wonderful day highly recommend. Absolutely Outstanding Tour Guide – Monica is a Star! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the pleasure of having Monica as our tour guide for the Bernina Express trip from Milan today, and she was simply exceptional. From the moment we met her, Monica’s warm smile and genuine enthusiasm lit up the entire day. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the route, the history, and all the stunning sights we passed, sharing fascinating details that made the experience so much richer. What really stood out, though, was her kindness and attentive nature. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, answered every question with patience, and went out of her way to make the trip special for each person in the group. Thanks to Monica, our Bernina Express journey became one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. She truly turned a beautiful train ride into an unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend Monica highly enough. She is, without question, the best guide we have ever had on any tour. To her employer: please never let this gem go – she is a true asset to your company and a wonderful ambassador for Milan and the Bernina Express. If you’re lucky enough to have Monica as your guide, you’re in for a treat. Thank you, Monica – you made our day magical

5.00I enjoyed this trip! Meeting point was easy to find. Our guide, Salvador, was informative and attentive. Panoramic view of Alps was just unforgettable and breathtaking! We had no time for lunch during this tour but we were able to get a food from a supermarket in St. Moritz and enjoyed on a train. It felt warm in a train even our windows were open since the heat was on. Thank you very much!
