St. Moritz & Swiss Alps Day Trip with Bernina Red Train - An unforgettable experience! The journey on the Bernina Red Train was absolutely breathtaking — stunning views of the Swiss Alps, picturesque villages, and crystal-clear lakes made it feel like traveling through a postcard. The train itself was comfortable, and the panoramic windows offered perfect view throughout the ride. St. Moritz was beautiful, with its charming town center and sparkling lake. We had enough time to explore, shop a little, and enjoy a nice local lunch. Our tour guide Mia (hope I have her name right) was knowledgeable, friendly and provided us with a lot of historical information. As there was a huge traffic going back to Milan so she made arrangements with the driver for an additional toilet break. Very thoughtful and caring. Highly recommend this day trip for anyone wanting to experience the magic of the Swiss Alps without the hassle of planning every detail. Pricing is also cheaper than other websites. Worth every moment!

The Great Train Ride. - The trip was great. It was well planned, well executed. We saw so much. Elizabeth was our tour guide and she was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable about the sites and could answer any question we asked. She even went out of her way to make sure we knew what train to take when the bus dropped us off. She went Above and beyond. The bus driver was also fabulous. He maneuvered the many sharp, scary turns like a pro.

One of the best tours we ever went on. Bernina Red Train is awesome! - This tour (11 hrs) was one of the very best excursions we have ever taken in our lives. The views of the Swiss Alps from the Bernina Red train was unbelievable. So much beauty to take in and feel. The tour stared at 7:15am where we got on a nice tour bus and drove 90 minutes to a restaurant where we could get off and stretch our legs and get coffee and breakfast. Drove another 90 minutes to St Moritz Switzerland where we could walk around town (for 60 minutes) sightseeing and getting lunch. Once on the Bernina Red Train, we were able to travel for 2 hours 20 minutes seeing fantastic sights of the Swiss Alps and glaciers. (One note: there is no cafe/food car on the train, so be sure to bring any drinks or snacks you want onto the train with you). At the end of the ride, we got off the train and back onto the tour bus where we drove back over the Swiss border and into the small Italian town of Tirano. We were given about 30-40 minutes to walk around town and found out that the small church there was so cute. Worth the time to go into it and look around. Then back on the bus for a 2.5 hour ride back to Milan (where we arrived at 6:15pm). Mia, our tour guide was really great. She had so much information that she shared about the places we went to and was so much fun. Overall, this was one of our best experiences ever and worth even penny to go on it. Extremely Highly Recommended.

The best birthday and train ride ever! Stunning! - THE BEST DAY! Great host and driver don’t think about it just book it! A birthday I’ll never forget! Definitely pack food, but In St moritz Square there is a good seller hatch cafe thing, she sells amazing hot bratwurst Sausages on a crisp roll, The pistachio donut was amazing. With tea it was about £13 in that town that is cheap!

Excellent visit, in my opinion it is a must. - Visually it has been one of the experiences that has struck me the most. Snail the mountain, snowy forests, deeper and deeper ravines, visibility to the left and right, in short, a delight. St. Moritz is very nice, maybe more time should be spent.
