Amazing experience - Amazing experience and amazing guides Paolo e Chaira! I strongly reccomend this tour. They take you to Lago di Como, walk around Lecco city. Then we took the Bernina Train to St. Moritz. The views are incredibles. We stay 1 and a half hour in St Moritz, and then we return in bus to Milano.

Beautiful - Kiara, our guide, and Paul, our driver, were both professional and kind throughout the journey. The experience was not only informative but also breathtaking, with stunning views both from the train and along the drive. It was truly worth every penny!

Incredible experience - Wow what a fantastic day! We started off with an hour drive to Lacco/ Lake Como which is a beautiful little town and were given an hour to explore. Then off to Tirano where they have a gorgeous church with an interesting History. This is another beautiful town. We were given an hour to have lunch and explore. Then it was time to catch the train….Train left at 1:00 PM sharp. Immediately we are taken into beautiful landscapes and then through the Alps.
I can’t describe how beautiful the ride is. We had a crystal clear day with blue skies. I’ve seen some negative reviews but I believe these must have occurred during rainy or foggy conditions. This ride is nothing short of spectacular! Everybody in our group loved it and were blown away. We ended up at St Moritz which is the most beautiful stop of all. Once again we were given an hour to shop and explore. This trip was one of the best excursions of my life. We absolutely loved it. Our tour guide Claudia was Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.. She provided great info throughout the day but also gave time to let it all sink in. Our driver Paolo deserves a lot of credit too. A true Pro. The three hour drive back to Milan is technical and challenging. We always felt safe. I highly recommend this tour. Yes it is a long day, but one that I will always remember fondly.
