Must do activity - It must include a one-day activity in the itinerary, where you will see a lot of panoramic views, pristine natural resources, and have a wonderful experience. Shout out for our tour guide Sara, she’s an amazing guide and explains everything in detail.

Fantastic day-trip - highly suggest! - Would suggest if you have a chance to take this trip/tour it is well worth your time - the places you visit are awesome and most of the views are breath-taking - our tour guide Marrisomo attached photo - had the most awesome raspy voice and was meant for the role. Highly suggest - would do it again with friends.

Bernina and the rude influencers. - It’s a long day but so worth it. Such a beautiful part of the world. Our guide Anna was fabulous and told us to get our cameras ready for the next outstanding view from the train or the bus.
Anna had to deal with 2 very spoilt young women who were very rude and thought everything was about them and no one else. They would be known as The Influencers taking photos from every angle possible and then posting as they went along. They missed so much real beauty of Mother Nature as their heads were down looking at their phones. It was quite a laugh. Our bus was delayed on the way home due to a highway accident but Anna and the driver were wise and pulled in for a rest stop when they could.

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.

Swiss Alps tour Sept 2025. Tour needs to be more clear on how the tour actually is. - For the bad ..
That there is walking involved. If you have mobility issues or can't walk for a distance this isn't for you.
Tour people need to have proper pickup points. We had to wait in a sketchy part of Milan at 6am. They should've had one local point to meet for all passengers like at Milano Visitor Center where Zani business is at. Don't have to meet at 6am as we didn't leave for the actual tour until after 8am. Waste of time.
There were people complaining once on the train because we have ability to open the window to take pics/ video but there were some saying it was too cold (was 65f outside). We offered our seats and they didn't want to switch.
The breakfast should be longer than just 30min. Felt rushed to get something to eat because there's a line to purchase it. Breakfast should be minimum of 45min and also 2 more mini breaks about 15-30min each. When we got to St Moritz guide said 90 min free time but it was actually like 40-45min. People on tour were frustrated about that. Didn't really have that much time to see or do anything maybe a store then walk back to train.
For the good
Once on the train the views were just amazing, I'd say this area is for the wealthy in St Moritz. The Swiss Alps is just WOW beautiful. Make sure you have enough memory on your phone or enough storage on your memory card. When in St Moritz use your credit card because they'll give you change in their currenxy and it's not Euros. This area is in Switzerland.

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!
