Unmissable!! - Dream landscapes, does not give you the view to appreciate everything! Every minute something new!! In September there wasn't much snow except on the summits, but great anyway! Super recommended.

St Moritz and Bernina Red Train - The visit to St Moritz and the trip on the Bernina Red Train was very scenic and enjoyable. The guide was a weakness however. He was nearly impossible to hear and did not wait for the group before talking

Great Bernina experience but.. - Our tour guide, Monica and driver, Giovanni were amazing! Comfortable driving and Monica gave us a lot of cool facts as we drove around. We had no problems finding the meeting spot as there were two large buses you couldn't miss!
I would caution - you spend majority of your time in a bus to St. Moritz and back to Milan after the train. You only really spend 2ish hours on it but the views are beautiful!! The 30 min break isn't long enough to grab a snack and use the restroom and for St Moritz, Monica gave us a little tour with an hour or so to go around.
Some uncontrollable factors are traffic - we spent an extra hour on the road due to an accident.
Some feedback - to be clear on seating arrangements. There was miscommunication to grab all your things and was told it was ok to sit anywhere until other people threw a fit. Outside of that.. highly recommend if you want a stress free way to ride the Bernina!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY - At best this is a long day for very little adventure. It is really a 5 hour bus ride for a short train ride. The guide Marco was helpful but there is not much he can do to assist with a full bus taking you 21/2 hours each way to and from the event. Frankly not worth the money for the time spent on the bus.

Train great guide unsure - Guide started us late by 40 minutes after we were told to come early by 15 the night before. This left us less than 1 hour in St Maritz. Not enough time for lunch and walk. Train was great

The train ride is beautiful, but do not use this provider to get there. 50 people on the bus, incompetent guide. - The train ride itself was fabulous, beautiful, amazing, must-do, unforgettable.
Go do the train ride, but avoid the unpleasant bus ride and Daniella the incompetent tour guide at all costs.
The LOW RATING is for the defensive, unhelpful, uninformative guide and the misery involved in packing 50 people in a bus. Driving 3 hours to St. Moritz. 2.5 hours back after the train to Milano. By the time the bus was unloaded, Daniella the incompetent tour guide had disappeared in St. Moritz. No designated meeting point. No explanation about how to reach the 5 story escalators to reach the town. No electronic communication system for 50 people. No apologies later for abandoning the last half of the bus. We all bonded over our abandonment, lack of time to both pee and eat.
Bathroom breaks were at places with few toilets, long lines.
No time to view a nearby historic church. No time to see UNESCO St. Moritz.
I travel the world, frequently praising Viator TripAdvisor. This provider needs to be removed from the Viator offerings. The worst experience that I've had visiting over 100 countries.
