Bernini Train Experience - Very important to read meeting instructions sent by operator. I looked at the meeting place on trip advisor and would have totally missed the trip if my wife had not gotten me to call the operator when we couldn’t find anyone at the place we were waiting. Getting on a train in Milan and riding to Lecco was a huge time saver. Luca, the guide, picked us up in a van at that point and did a great job of breaking up the long drive to the Bernini train. The train is fantastic with incredible views. The ride back to Lecco in the van after we got off the train was quite scenic as well. Luca did an amazing job of managing the long drive to get to the train and back.

Awesome Experience and Tour Guide - While a long tour (nearly 13 hours), it was a most memorable day. Of course the train ride over the Bernina pass was spectacular but the stops along the way were also quite wonderful. But what made the day really special was the incredible tour guide we had — Ilaria. She was so knowledgeable as well as witty so we were all engaged throughout the day. She is a true gem!

Wonderful day in Swiss alps - Had a wonderful day in the Swiss alps and Bernina train. The guide Silvia and the driver Ivan were very friendly - it felt like we were traveling with friends. The time in St Moritz is adequate for a short walk in town and lake, but the highlight of this trip is the drive to Tirano and the train ride. We also stopped in Varena on Lake Lario (Como). Silvia took us for some cheese tasting on the way to Tirano and was full of interesting information about the various parts of Italy and Switzerland we covered. Highly recommend this day trip from Milan! Thank you Silvia and Ivan!

Amazing trip from Milan to Switzerland - Great trip and very happy we selected a small group tour. Our guide was also a local plus she was very energetic and knowledgeable. We appreciated every stop and the train ride was unforgettable! Also, Milan was experiencing a major heat wave it felt really nice to get out of the city and into some cooler weather

Wonderful tour - Paola did such a wonderful job. We really enjoyed our time with her and thought she and our driver were both wonderful. Paola shared so much interesting information, knew exactly what to have us look for, introduced us to local eats, and went out of her way to ensure we had a terrific day. Would certainly recommend and was delighted with our time with Paola.

Wonderful day on the Bernina train - Small group with Sylvia as guide, which meant that she spent some time with all of us at some time. she is a delightful personality and shepherded us though the day with a happy demeanor all the way. The driver deserves a special mention because he realised that a traffic build up was serious, found out that it was a landslip and quickly rerouted to an alternative. All that, and the scenery is fabulous. Definitely a highlight day
