Bernina Express Tour - The trip was not clear. We actually had to take a long bus ride up to St. Moris, and after a short sta of about 1.5 hours had to race down to the trail for its departure
The trail had windows for the view, but half the passengers had to sit on isle seats, so thier views were very restricted. Too crowded and many upset by test restrictions and other passanger rudeness.. not worth the money especially if you did not get a good window seat.

Do not book - This trip is not the red bernina train, you get a train that stops at all the stops & locals get on, they give out to you for opening windows to take photos, do not book it

Cilada do not fall in this - Horrible. They lied about the whole script. They don't go to St. Moritz or use the vermina express. They leave the people in tyrant alone with no guide and no instruction. A lie. Has several bad reviews believe it does not perform

Bad directions and bad communication - I planned my entire trip to Milan around this tour. My hotel is apparently right next to the correct meeting point for this bus but I walked past that because it was not there yet. The directions to the bus stop/meeting point are not extremely clear. So I walked to the side of the station where there were many tour buses. The guide I spoke with there told me to go to the opposite side of the square. Which I did. I stopped to ask the military men in front of the station where the meeting point was and they didn’t know from the directions give to me either. They were clueless. So I finished walking to the other side of the square and found buses there but they were the buses to the airport. I walked around the station again finally found a police officer that knew where to point me but it was then 07:55 and the tour left without trying to get in touch with me. No call no text no communication. I did message the tour operator through this app asking for more specific directions or a number to call so I could find the bus and there still has been no response hours later. I found a number to call and the man I spoke with said oh sorry they left already but the office doesn’t open until after 08:30 you will have to call back then to speak with someone else. I called after 08:30 and spoke with a lady that said they could book me days later, which I will already have left Milan at that point. Then said we can’t refund you. You just need to message through the Viator app. I’ve been on many tours through this app and I’ve never once been late or missed a tour until this one and I tried my hardest to get in touch with anyone that could help before I got left. It’s a hefty ticket I bought myself for Christmas and the only reason I came to Milan and I didn’t get to enjoy. So if you decide to book this Mae sure you know exactly where this pickup location is WAY in advance because you won’t be able to get any help (and it is not where the other buses are).

A waste of a vacation day - The entire tour was A WASTED DAY!
First, the bus ride was packed shoulder to shoulder and you can smell other’s s breath.
We could have rented a car for the price and made the trip much more comfortable and on our own time table and shorter travel time.
Second, the restaurant in St. Moritz that was recommended did not meet our expectations.
Third, once we arrive to the station and got on the train, the car was full. My wife and I were not able to sit next to each other because it was first come first serve but this was not told ahead of time. The train car was reserved for our tour group however there were many other cars with ample empty seats which did not require seat reservation. We were stuck in our car again, shoulder to shoulder.
Fourth, neither my wife nor I could see much from the train. Almost all the noteworthy sights were on the right side and we both were seated in the isle. With the people seated at the window standing up to take photos, our vote was completely obstructed. It was a 2.5 hour train ride for nothing basically.
At the end of the day we sought a seat together and a little more comfort than the back row of the bus only to be told to go back to the seat we started with.
We all paid the same for this trip, I don’t recall being asked to reserve the cheap seats.
NEVER AGAIN!

Disappointing - Our Guide had laryngitis, and had to hoarsely whisper, so we could not hear, or understand anything he said, the entire trip. He allowed people on the viewing side of the train to stand up, blocking the window, for the whole trip. We could not see, or take any pictures at all. He also walked very very fast, almost running, at the stops.
We are so very disappointed!
