It is a long day - first stop is after the Como boat trip.Como boat trip is amazing. Guide we had was excellent and very informative. Scenery is breathtaking - it’s a long day but worth it - St Moritz is like a manicured garden - the town itself is nothing special. The journey on the Bernina express is incredible- especially in snow!

Good time but not enough time.

George_A, Jul 2026

Great scenery. Informative. Not enough time to use rest rooms and not enough time to shop/eat in Switzerland. Great to see the things but need more time.

Beautiful, wish there were fewer people

Dianne_B, Jul 2026

Beautiful scenery, nice amount of time in St Moritz. Guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. One unfortunate part was that our family was not seated together on the train. Our coach was packed and there was no effort to seat people in a way that we could be together. We were the last to board and we were in random places all over. Additionally because the coach was at capacity it was hard to get pictures. People at the windows didn’t make space for others. Fun trip overall though.

Brilliant tour no issues

James_R, Jun 2026

Ok just read some rather stupid reviews sorry not trying to offend. We missed our original trip but managed to get on today monday 29th june. Now first i would say people read the statements of what is included! This trip was awesome and interesting and absolutely stunning. Yes, the plan apparently said it does include a guided tour of St Moritz but hey its 13 hours already and we did not waste time. Our tour guide and drivers were brilliant and helpful. It was not a trip to visit and tour towns it was a guided tour of Lake Como and the train trip and seeing the Como in its beauty and the Alps. The money was not an issue 13 special hours is about 10 Euro and hour with a tour guide and drivers! Anyway, this troup was special and did a great job I would highly recommend. Oh and next time guys make sure its not raining ....... only kidding maybe people think you can change the weather to.

Super trip with a super guide

Mohit_S, Jun 2026

This is a long day trip but you cant go wrong with Como and Switzerland. It’s totally worth the time. Temperatures were low in St Moritz so dress warmly. Our guide Carolina MG was phenomenal and managed all the activities and group phenomenally. I would highly recommend this tour and above all Carolina. Would def say hi to her when i am in Milano area next.

Lake Como and Bernina Express in one go....both the journeys were truly incredible..especially if you are short of time

DilipKumar_K, Jun 2026

Cruising on Lake Como and travelling by the Bernina express are both dreams....and this trip brings them together beautifully. A day well spent- marvelling at the beautiful sights each place has to offer. Would recommend bringing a pullover for St. Moritz as it gets slightly chilly.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for such a beautiful description of your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that the combination of Lake Como and the Bernina Express made your day so special. It truly is a unique journey, and we’re delighted that you were able to enjoy the stunning scenery and create lasting memories along the way. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in the future! Best, Serena

Unforgettable memories

Olena_K, May 2026

Great team :travel guide and drivers. Very informative and interesting trip. It was very nice boat trip on lake Como , train trip trough the Swiss and walking trip in St. Moritz.

Lake and mountain adventure

Tony_P, May 2026

Everything was so organized and our guide Marco was very experienced and very kind. We loved everything about it. I would recommend this to anybody.

Great experience...

luisa_t, May 2026

Great experience travelling with the group of 23 people, this trip is highly recommended! Our driver is very accurate with the tour guide Robert. He is well informed of the surroundings.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that you had a great experience with the group and that you enjoyed both our driver and Robert’s guidance throughout the tour. To be honest, while reading your review, we were trying to figure out where we lost the other 2 stars 😄 If there’s anything we could have done better, we’d truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving. We hope to welcome you again on another trip soon!

It was a great...

Cheri_D, Apr 2026

It was a great experience. Totally enjoyable. The various modes of transportation were all comfortable. The scenery was spectacular. All in all a great day.

It was nice but very long!

Tamena_B, Apr 2026

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!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear that, overall, you enjoyed the experience. Concerning the aspects about the lenght of the itinerary, given the nature of this full-day tour, the schedule may seem quite tight. We mainly want to allow you to see and experience as many highlights as possible across these spectacular locations, and to fill the day with memorable moments. We understand that this can sometimes impact the overall experience. We will definitely take your observations into consideration. We hope to welcome you again on another experience in the future! Serena

beautiful scenery but chaotic

Megan_O, Apr 2026

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.

Great tour!

CHRISTINE_L, Apr 2026

We had a great experience! We had plenty of time at each stop and the guide even gave us recommendations of where to go in St. Mortiz and in Como. Highly recommended this tour!

Great trip. Would recommend.

catherine_w, Apr 2026

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.

A experience to remember

Akbar_V, Apr 2026

Absolutely a delight full packed day-all at a relaxed pace but a day to remember the experience Well doneto all the organisers and our tour guide whi did a excellent job Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge for the trip

Lake Como/ st Moritz

James_G, Feb 2026

Spectacular scenery, guide Clara provided just the right amount info! Bus driver great too……………………..

Excellent tour

patricia_s, Jan 2026

Very good experience and...

Karen_Y, Jan 2026

Very good experience and the train ride was very fun and scenic was spectacular. It was snowing when we were on the train too which made the experience even greater. The bus ride return back was very long (2.5 hours non stop) and the bus was fully packed with people. It would be nice if the guide can arrange seats for families or couples on the bus ride and train ride as I have seen some couples have to sit separately on the long bus ride and train ride. Luckily we arrived earlier so we could sit together in the coach, otherwise we all had to sit separately.

Packed day but so worth it

audrey_m, Dec 2025

This is a long day but wow, the time at Lake Como and St Moritz were both fantastic. The train journey is spectacular! Be aware if travelling on a Sunday a lot of shops in St Moritz were closed but we managed some chocolate and souvenirs along with a quick drink stop, plus side the traffic out and into Milan was swifter than we expected . Our guide was really knowledgeable and kept us on time. All in all an excellent trip, could not have done this independently. Slight down side no toilet on the bus and no refreshment trolly on the train but we had prepared for both of these situations!

Dress with layers

Brenda_H, Nov 2025

Katia was our guide. She was great. Was able to answer questions or help if we needed something. The tour was lovely. Lots of beautiful scenery. My suggestion is to wear layers as the train ride can be cold. Many people will have the windows open for the entire journey. Lake Como has beautiful scenery. After Lake Como we boarded the bus for the journey to St. Moritz through high mountain roads with many hairpin turns and snowy mountains and glaciers. I would recommend this tour.

Guide of the tour Mrs....

Esra_A, Nov 2025

Guide of the tour Mrs. Magela was not frlendly and her English was not clear and fluent, she speaks with an Italian accent so we have difficulties about understanding. I think the leisure time for Como was so short, we had no time for taking pictures and consequently nowhere recommended for buying souvenirs accept Swiss chocolate shop in saint Moritz. We hope to buy magnets for our collection but we couldn’t.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that clear communication and much time to enjoy each destination are key to a memorable tour. We’re sorry that the language and timing issues affected your experience. However this is a full and comprehensive journey, offering a variety of incredible experiences across both lakes and mountains, which our guests find truly rewarding. While it isn’t possible to stop for long periods at every location on a tour of this scale, we thank you for your feedback that will help us optimising this experience.

The scenery was beautiful...

ruthmaria, Nov 2025

The scenery was beautiful and the tour itself had great potential, but the guide, Maurizzio, ruined the experience. We arrived early so my 77-year-old mother, who gets motion sickness, could sit in the front row. The second driver, who was seated in the front row behind the main driver, agreed. However, Maurizzio, the tour guide, shouted "no" from outside the bus. When I tried speaking with him, he dismissed me and treated me as if I were ignorant and had never traveled, insisting the front row could not be used for "safety" reasons. I have traveled the world and never encountered this. He then took the right-side front row for himself to stretch out, even dozing off at times, while my mother was forced to sit in the second row and feel uncomfortable for no valid reason. The destinations were wonderful, but the guide's rude behavior, lack of empathy, and unprofessionalism overshadowed the day.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed the scenery and the destinations, but we’re truly sorry for the lack of empathy and proper attention toward your understandable request. This is certainly not the level of professionalism, care, or courtesy that we expect from our team and we ensure that it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you let us know, as feedback like yours, helps us improve. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the warm and attentive experience that every guest deserves.

Unaccommodating and Rude – Do Not Book This Tour!!!

Ashley_S, Oct 2025

Do not book with this vendor. They are rude and unaccommodating. Our taxi was stuck in traffic for 20 minutes, and we arrived just six minutes late. Despite explaining the extenuating circumstances, they refused to wait or offer any refund. We understand there are schedules to keep, but their rude behavior, refusal to let us join the tour on our own in Lake Como, and unwillingness to reschedule us for another day show a complete lack of customer service. This vendor is inflexible and greedy. Save yourself the frustration — choose a different Bernina Train and Lake Como tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and understand how stressful traffic delays can be. Unfortunately, as the group had to depart on schedule and you arrived over 20 minutes late from the meeting point time, we couldn’t delay the departure without affecting the rest of the participants and the fixed boat and train timings. Our team even offered you the option to reach us by taxi and join the group later, but this wasn’t taken. Please know that we always do our best to assist our guests while ensuring the quality and timing of the experience for everyone. We sincerely regret the situation and hope to welcome you on another occasion under better circumstances. Kind regards, Serena

Best tour guide

Judy_W, Oct 2025

Tour is packed with activities and still allows for time on your own. Lake Como and San Moritz are both very beautiful places.

Trip of a lifetime…memories forever!

Leanne_B, Oct 2025

Such a relaxing & breathtaking view of the Alps! Can’t recommend this trip enough. The bus drive through the Lake Como & the Bernina pass area were gorgeous but sometimes seemingly dangerous however we had the BEST driver & never felt scared. We loved everything about this trip!

Don’t hesitate to book this tour, it was such a great way to spend the day and see what other tours take 2 days to see!

Logan_H, Oct 2025

Great experience! It’s a long day but packs in what other itineraries would do in two days in just one! Comfortable bus with good drivers, perfectly on time departure. Andrea was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, and especially accommodating to my Nana who walks slowly with a cane. The cruise was on a comfortable boat with inside and outside seating, fantastic views of all the sights along the lakeshore. Nice amount of free time in St Moritz for lunch and shopping before the Bernina train for which the group has a whole car reserved. The bus takes a different route on the way back so you see different sights all day which was very nice although a lot of people (including myself, briefly) fall asleep on the ride back to Milan, and Andrea thoughtfully limited the commentary towards the end. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful day, full of bucket list sites!

eeliechick, Jul 2025

Great tour, I hesitated and nearly didn’t book this tour based on the reviews however it was fantastic! It’s a long day, there’s no doubt about that and the drive at the end of the day back is a killer but the overall experience was fabulous. Ticking off a ton of sights, starting with a scenic drive up the west side of lake Como, cruise around the famous villas, drive through the wine region, jump on the stunning train which has open windows for perfect photo taking. Followed by free time in St Moritz and a drive along the east side of the lake back to Milan. Tour guide was informative and friendly and bus modern with air conditioning. Overall a wonderful day, no complaints. Would recommend it!

Beautiful but rushed

Carly_S, Apr 2025

The scenery was absolutely amazing and is a must, the train was just lovely. The timing of the tour felt quite rushed. The bus was about 20 minutes late at the start of the day which put off everything else, and we had no time to stop at the first place with only time to rush into a cafe to go to the toilet being told to be back a specific time but not actually leaving untill 15 minutes later where we didn’t need to rush. The day was absolutely beautiful but I think some work needs to be done with the timing of places.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS OPERATOR

lauren_w, Sep 2023

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS OPERATOR. The tour is offered as a “luxury air conditioned bus” and “Relax in climate-controlled comfort as you travel by luxury coach” - THERE WAS NO AIR CONDITIONING. It was far too hot, for three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, everyone was extremely uncomfortable and feeling sick, the bus smelt of body odour and everyone was having the fan themselves with whatever the could. Company is lying that the air conditioning broke on the way back but it was never on!!! Several people got up to request it. Guide and driver were uninterested, rude and self-important (throughout the day not just about the air con). Neither seemed to actually enjoy what they were doing or wanted to interact with the customers. The guide even arrived late to the meet up point after lunch. Most uncomfortable day of any holiday ever, they have completely ruined this experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Customer, we are sorry that you had a bad experience with the tour. We apologise for this technical inconvenience. Our aim is to keep our passengers comfortable, but unfortunately accidents can happen; we have taken note of your complaint so that we can be sure that it does not happen again. Kind regards, Autostradale Viaggi

Stunning!

HENRY_G, Feb 2023

Excellent experience on the Bernina Train.... Magical! Breathtaking views, refreshing chill weather and delicious food on Houser. Definitely will go again

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear customer, we are glad to read that this trip fulfilled your expectations. Hopin to host you back soon as well. Best Regards, Autostradale Viaggi

A must do!!

Kai_C, Jan 2023

The Lake Como cruise and Bernina train ride was such a joy and major highlight. St Moritz was also beautiful town. A must do when in Milan. Also very important to respect the tour guide’s times at each destination.
