Wonderful landscapes, well-organised trip - What a day..! The train trip on Bernina Express was breathtaking, the kids also liked it so much! We had some time to discover St. Mauritz and Tirano. Lake Como is a pearl, it was the last stop during the day. Our guide was an angel, she was so nice, helpful and flexible. Our driver was great too.

Amazing trip to Lake Como, St Moritz and Tirano - A well-organised trip that takes you to two countries in one day. The trip started with a spectacular sightseeing along Lake Como to arrive at St Moritz. From St. Moritz, we took the Bernina train, where we saw breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps. Words cannot describe the beauty. We were lucky as the Alps were still covered in snow. We arrived at Tirano, where we were given free time to look around and have lunch. Lastly, we made our way to Lake Como, the most amazing harbour I have ever seen. Didi was the best tour guide we could have asked for. She was knowledgeable about the areas we visited and very understanding.

Highly recommended itinerary and agency - Great itinerary provided by the tour agency. The guide was amazing and had insightful knowledge of the places we went. She was clear with instructions and supported those we needed her with additional help. The driver was also friendly and helpful. The van that we were in was clean and very comfortable. Will definitely recommend this to everyone. Cheers for the memorable experience!

Stunning scenery for St. Moritz & Como - Firstly it’s a long 12hrs+ day, and you do know this when you book the trip.
Secondly getting the bus outside centrale Milan they need to mark up the buses and the tour guides need to be at the corresponding bus for their passengers to make sure they are getting on the correct bus as it was a bit of a bum fight to as there are 4 or 5 buses waiting and 200+ people trying to get on the right bus.
Thirdly it is a long day trip and on the way back from St. Moritz it’s over 3hrs back to Milan and no stops so it would be good if the buses have a toilet.
The trip itself was well worth doing to see Como lake first and then on to stunning Switzerland to see st. Moritz.
I guess if you have fantastic weather and not rain Como lake would have been stunning also but it was a rainy day so you cannot see much due to haze and fog on the water. However our tour Guide Lina gave a great guide of Como lake and all the famous houses and places of the famous owners who live here or what films were filmed here over the time. We spent about an hour in Como lake including the boat tour then on to the bus for the next stop St. Moritz.
When we get in to Switzerland 🇨🇭 the scenic routes are stunning and you start to make your way up the mountains on long winding roads you are now in a white blanket of snow. Once you get off the bus we are take to the village of st. Moritz where you have about 2hours free time and then meet back to then get on the train to make your way back. The train is nice and again the scenery is stunning. Train trip is about 45mins.
It’s then Back on the bus for the 3hrs trip back to Milano.

unfinished experience - The name of the reservation is “Lake Como, Swiss Alps and Bernina Train. From Milan” but we didn’t go to Lake Como.
When I bought the package I sent this message “: Hello good morning, how are you? I have this reservation for tomorrow but the description says Lecco train.
I would like to confirm if this ticket will give me access to the Bernina Express and we will also pass by Lake Como, as these are the main points for me.”
The answer I received: Yes, the ticket included access to Bernina Express, and there is a
stopo in Lake Como.
The description says that there may not be time in St Moritz, but not meeting the schedule is very complicated.
I bought this package because I really wanted to go to these two points and I only went to one.
And regarding Bernina, even though I asked, we used the regular train and not the Bernina Express.
Apart from these points, the guide and the driver were very attentive and the landscapes are incredible
