Absolutely perfect day trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

We met Paola in the Central Station, directions to find her were very clear. She was very welcoming and friendly. Throughout the whole trip she was very knowledgeable and really made the experience for us. The trip was amazing, very punctual, very informative and we had plenty of time for photos and scheduled toilet stops were perfect too! The stop at Lake Como was brilliant, such a beautiful place, but it needs to be visited for longer to appreciate it all. The Bernina train itself was absolutely fantastic, Paola told us when every view of interest was coming and which way to look for it, and she took some lovely photos of us too. We were very lucky with the weather, not a cloud in the sky and snow up at the top too made it perfect. We could not fault the trip at all, definitely recommend to anyone.

Long day but beautiful...

Long day but beautiful trip tour guide was wonderful. Loved how it was a small group. Highly recommend

Everything was well...

Published on Jan, 2025

Everything was well planned start to finish Luca was very friendly and knowledgeable and was overall a very good trips Some great pictures up in the alps

Amazing tour & Bernina Express

Published on Jan, 2025

A perfect day - not to be missed! Luca was an amazing guide and truely and kind and knowledgable host. He took good care of all in our small group and made sure everyone was having an amazing experience. Every detail was taken care of down to even stopping for a snack enroute back at the end of the day! We enjoyed every part of the day with Luca and the driver was excellent as well. The Italian and Swiss alps did not disappoint and the stop along Lake Como was the perfect amount of time for photos and to get a sense of the town. Luca knew what train cars were the best for the ride to St Moritz and also knew the best places for us to grab hot coco or pastries as well as so much history and knowledge. We were sad we didn’t have time in Milan to join another tour with Luca - he is the best guide we ever could have asked for and made our trip to Italy everything we hoped it would be! Thank you Luca!

Nice small group from Milan to Bernina train tour.

Published on Dec, 2024
