Bernina Red Train - The tour was great Luca our guide was friendly, informative and very helpful. The whole trip was well organised and definitely recommend the Bernina Red train rather than the panoramic for photographs as all the windows open and the views are spectacular.

The Perfect Bernina Express Experience—Thanks to Luca - From start to finish, the experience felt personal, well-organized, and thoughtfully paced. Luca isn’t just a guide—he’s a local expert, and the kind of person who makes you feel instantly comfortable. Everything—from pickup to train tickets to timing—was handled seamlessly. We never felt rushed, and Luca made sure we always had the best vantage points for photos and views.

The Perfect One Day Escape from Milan - This was one of our favorite excursions. We had a short time in Milan and wanted to see and do as much as possible in one day, and this tour was perfect. Luca Tours was amazing. We were a small group, which allowed for great interaction with Luca. Our first stop was Lake Como, where we enjoyed breakfast with beautiful views while Luca shared the history of the area. From there, we visited a vineyard in the Valtellina Valley for a tour, wine tasting, and some delicious cheeses and meats. Next, we entered Tirano in northern Italy, where we had time to stroll, enjoy lunch, and taste some local specialties before boarding the Bernina Express. The train then took us into Switzerland and through the Alps. Wow. This is something we will never forget. We traveled from the base to the top of the Alps all the way to St. Moritz, where we enjoyed shopping and grabbing a gelato before heading back. It was a full day, but Luca made it completely stress-free by handling every detail. We felt comfortable the entire time, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the region. The views were breathtaking. We will definitely return and plan another trip through Luca Tours. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Perfect Day Trip With A Great Guide. - This was a great outing for my wife and I that we got to tack on to our Olympics stay. The trip is beautiful starting with an hour or so along Lake Como which is fantastic in every season. Got to take a little walk in a Como town. Then off to the Red Train which is a spectacular way to see the glory of the Alps. Took a zillion photos. Then an hour in St. Moritz which is so glamorous. And then back efficiently to Milan. Luca is fabulous. He is very warm and generous and engages with every one well. He knows a yon and clearly loves this region where he was born and raised. He has thought through every detail and maximized it for our pleasure. He is A+

The instructions for finding the start of the tour start in the Milan train station were clear, the itinerary was comprehensive and the history and information given along the way was timely and interesting. The views in the alps and St. Moritz was just beautiful. I would recommend this trip for sure.

Fantastic day trip - Fantastic day trip and beautifully organized from start to finish. The stops in Lake Como, Tirano, and St. Moritz were stunning, and the Bernina Pass views were absolutely unforgettable. Everything ran smoothly and felt well paced despite covering so much in one day. Highly recommend if you want to see incredible scenery without the stress of planning it yourself.
