Swiss Alps Bernina Express Rail Tour from Milan

The train journey and the bus journey was beautiful beyond words. My mom had been wanting to see Switzerland for ten years. I'm glad I got to show it to her and my kids in a day.

The coach ride and the trip up the Swiss Alps was fantastic! The tour guide was very helpful and narrate to the group informative stories about the sites visited. The drive up to St Moritz was an unforgetable experience. We were driving on the edge of a narrow road with beautiful mountains sight but the driver was so skillful. The Benina Train ride itself was an experience we could always cherish. It was worth paying for this tour and highly recommended.

Wonderful way to see parts of Switzerland by train in a day! Our guide was knowledgeable and caring.

It was the most amazing & surreal experience. The views are magical. A trip we will never forget. The people were very nice. Long day but worth it.

I'm here for the real deal- finding the check in was super easy. Your guide was adorable and informative. I suggest eating before the trip or bringing snacks as the "bar stop" is sketchy as hell. But the bathrooms are free so yay! Sadly you only get 1 hour to walk the town in Switzerland. It says 2 hours for walking but thats a lie. I'd say that is the biggest negative. we literally had time for 2 stores and to eat lunch. Super sad we didn't get to shop til we drop but whatever, I got my chocolate! The train ride was pretty cool. Make sure you bring extra water as there isn't any on the 2.5 hour train or at the stop when you get on the bus. Overall nice tour just wish you had more time to explore Swiss.

The train ride was lovely. Full of beautiful views. Our tour guide provided lots of information. We had ample free time to wander the streets of St. Moritz.

Well organised staff were friendly and helpful kept us well informed Beautiful scenery and enjoyed our stop at St Morritz

I usually never leave reviews, but I had to warn others after today's tour. Although the reviews are correct in how breathtaking the beautiful landscape is on the Bernina Express... The travel from Milan to St. Moritz and then from Tirano to Milan was HORRENDOUS. You meet at 7:15 am to then arrive in St. Moritz at 12:15 pm. It took 5 HOURS to get to St. Moritz, when it should only be a 2.5 hour drive from Milan. This was because they picked up MORE people than advertised on Viator. Our guide was not very informative and favored her Italian and Spanish customers. If you are American or English speaking, you will be treated as a second class citizen on this tour. We were only in St. Moritz from 12:15 pm to 1:30 pm. Then we took the Bernina Express from 2 pm to 4:30 pm. WE DID NOT GET TO EXPLORE TIRANO AS ADVERTISED! We went straight to the bus which then went from 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm!!! ANOTHER 5 HOURS HOME. Ridiculous. The amount of rest stops we took was unnecessary. I could see how this would be a nice activity if you are elderly because you do not have to walk a lot (A lot of people on this tour was over the age of 50), but if you are young and able, find another tour because this was a horrible experience. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! Save yourself the time and money.

These is a lot here. First of all, the train ride is beautiful and worth seeing. Having said that, our experience on this tour was not pleasurable. We left on time from Milan with no issues and took the first part of our ride up to St Moritz (not Tirano on this particular day, we started on the other side). After a rest stop, we got stuck behind an accident on the road that cost us an hour of travel time, not the tour operators fault. To make up time, the driver drove in an unsafe manner; tailgating, honking at cars in front of us, and swerving through narrow towns at high speeds that caused him to have to slam the brakes when there was something around a tight corner, launching the bus occupants into the chair backs in front of them...multiple times. When we got to St Mortiz, we only had 90 minutes to get lunch and 'explore' (again, not the tour company's fault). It would have been nice to get an idea of where we could get a fast lunch, but we got no such guidance from the tour guide. On top of that, all the shopping stores were closed...we didn't get a heads up on that either. Our time was spent looking through the windows of closed shops and just happening across a small food store that sold sandwiches. The ride down the mountain in the train was very nice, although the mic system the guide used was useless. The guide didn't offer much in the way of history or a 'heads up' when a good photo op was about to present itself, and when he did try to say something, it was completely garbled. The tour says we would have time in Tirano 'to explore.' We didn't. We got off the train, went to the bus, and stopped at a church for 20 minutes. Thank goodness there was a small coffee shop next to the church and a number of us skipped the church and opted for coffee. On the very long trip from Tirano to Milan, we make a rest stop and the driver went to leave with a number of guests still in the facilities. The guide and the driver seemed to argue a bit over that. We took a number of tours while in Milan and this was not the only full day tour. It was, by far, our worst experience during our trip.

Very nice trip if you do not want to do by yourself, with great information about locations / spots from Marcelo, our tour guide.
