Great option if raining in Como - It was a huge long day !! But well worth the trip ! The train ride was magnificent! We had no intention to do this trip but it was raining in Como our main destination so we decided to give this ago . Well worth the effort !! A long bus ride but very comfortable with enough stops for photos before the train ride 🥂. Beware of food prices in St Moritz $$$$

Great Sightseeing Experience - This is a very worthwhile sightseeing trip and a great way to spend a casual day. Do not expect to gain any great history or insight from the guide. It is truly a visual experience.

Bernini Express experience for my 50th birthday celebration !! - The whole experience was fabulous.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun.
The trip was good value for money.
The only improvement- the seats should be pre allocated to us on the train journey. Some groups of people were split up.

Breautif - We had a great bus driver, there was an accident on the road and she only got us back 1 hour later than planned, could have been much worse and she was a great driver too!

Wonderful experience - What am amazing trip from start to finish. Start of the day had been delayed from 7.30 to 9.30 but this was a much nicer start, just meant a later return. Pick up point was easy to find. Great 2 stops in the way to the train braking up the journey. The train itself was a wonderful 2.30 hours, would highly recommend, thank you

Expensive bus/train ride - The drive through the mountains and train ride were spectacular, although large portion was covered by clouds and fog. The guide spent most of his time chit-chating with two Italian tourists on the front seat, along with the driver. Basically the 4 of them had a private tour, while the rest of the passengers just happened to be along for the ride. If you can do your own booking on a regional train between Como, Tirano, and St. Moritz you'll save yourself ~100 euro/pp.
