Great trip. Would recommend. - Plenty of comfort stops for food, drinks etc.
temp in early April was quite mild.
The stop at lake como was rather frantic with passengers piling into the spaghetti restaurant- just go to the ones next door where you’ll be served quicker.

Como, Red Train, St Moritz. - Como is famous for its beauty, that fame is earned. All major European cities have Cathedrals, The “Red Train” is unique. If you do one thing in the Milan area, do this.

It was nice but very long! - We booked this day trip which started at 7:15, we were late so they waited a few minutes. It’s very long - the lake como part could really be missed yes the views are nice, but aside from half an hour time free time you don’t get much time to explore, the train trip was lovely! It’s really hard to find time to eat breakfast/ lunch and no eating was allowed on the bus. Do take water, and some snacks for stops, maybe even sandwiches as certain shops even in st Moritz are closed 1-3pm. Remember to buy your Swiss chocolate! Defo worth it.
All in all nice trip would have been nice to stop at the top for photo ops but never happened. It’s a bit 2.5 hours there and back by bus, so it’s a 13 /14 hour trip - so one to consider before booking.
You will have sound sleep once back at your hotel!

beautiful scenery but chaotic - The views were beautiful and it was a nice way to see the swiss alps and lake como. However the day felt disorganized and rushed. Many times we were told not to stop for pictures walking to/ from destinations with beautiful views. And we were not told when bathroom or food stops would be. For example we did not know how long the train ride would be or if it served food. So while the train ride did have a bathroom after we got off the train we found out we only had 15 minutes in a town to buy something from a cafe to use their bathroom when there were 2 tours there at the same time with over 60 people trying to use one bathroom stall. Only after getting back on the bus we were told we had a 3 hour drive back to Milan. The day felt very rushed and chaotic with most of it feeling preventable if the day and timing had been more laid out. We did 4 other tours while in Italy and this was our least favorite. I would only recommend this one if the goal is to see the alps and lake como.

deception and sliding from the station to the side m have you seen.... - A fan of Saint Moritz for many years , we loved this city with its charm and its different magical places like the 2 palaces and its chocolate maker. But this town has become a Bling Bling place, a place where the pleasure of flaming has disappeared , That luxury shops and prices notably at this famous chocolate maker Hanselamnn too high to taste and a service one of the worst we have experienced, a palace the badrupt where you can no longer access just to take two cups, . fortunately the Kulm allows to see and appreciate a beautiful place with a top service
but generally very disappointed by the Bling bling of the station
