Bernina Express - The entire day was wonderful. The bus ride to St. Moritz was comfortable and the views were picturesque. The town of St. Moritz on the other hand was disappointing, but the food was good and relatively well priced. The train was also wonderful. The views were amazing. The ride home was comfortable. Great day all around.

Mesmerizing landscapes ! - This trip is something you cannot miss, travelled with my husband and daughter of 6 years, we were mesmerized by the landscapes. Our guide was so informative as well as punctual. The views while on the bus to St Moritz are so rich in greenery, lakes, elegant small town on the hills…then on the Bernina train the Alps mountains left us in awe. Memories for a lifetime, thank you !

Excellent experience - This day trip to St. Moritz & Panoramic Bernina Express is definitely a journey that you will cherish for your whole life and it is definitely worth the price to experience the Bernina Express and visit St. Moritz. Even during unpredictable weather conditions, it was an extremely enjoyable experience. The photos taken were absolutely amazing and this is a trip that you must take if you are planning to travel to Northern Italy. (Our guide and bus driver were also extremely helpful and made our trip even better, thanks Luca and Valentino :)

Badly organised - Tour starting time was changed without been informed, pick up time was originally 7.30 am but didn’t get picked up till 9.15 . Enjoyed the trip when we finally got going , st Moritz was stunning as was the Bernina express, however as it was return journey from st Moritz via Bernina only experienced half the scenic train ride as it was dark by 5pm and didn’t leave platform till 4.15pm which was a disappointment . Tour would have been more enjoyable if we had arrived by train to St Moritz and returned by bus rather than the way we did it or if tour had started at the original time given us more daylight to enjoy the scenery. Other than that an informative tour and would have have 5* if hadn’t been left standing for 2 hours thinking we had been stood up .
