HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - The AMATO guide was a love of person. The tour was in English and Italian but he also spoke in Spanish which we valued very much. As far as I can see, it's the only agency that makes the excursion on the real scenic train. It's long but worth it. 10 points!

Bernina Express - The views were amazing!! Early spring with lots of waterfalls. A well worthwhile trip. It is a little confusing not knowing the best way to book the trip. I would recommend that the tour description be updated and more descriptive of catching a bus in Como and riding the train from St Moritz to Turano. But it all worked out well. Our tour guide was nice and kept us all together. A tour guide from another group while helping to be describing our views, would often stand in the way of tourists trying to see or take photos.

Excellent trip, horrible guide. - The actual ride was incredible. The guide was not. We walk slowly and do not expect others to wait for us BUT, the guide repeatedly waited to give instructions about meeting places and times until she was off the bus/train. We were generally some of the last, but on 2 occasions she was already walking head and we could not catch up. Again, WE DO NOT EXPECT ANYONE TO WAIT OR US, we can walk along on our own, but we need crucial info about where we need to go next and time. This was especially a problem at San Moritz a she was already at the entrance to the escalator and I tried to call to her. Eventually, after finding our ways to the village, I “jogged” while yelling to 2 other passengers. When I recomended that the guide give the info before disembarking, she didn’t respond. Very unsatisfactory!!

Fantastic Day Trip from Como on the Bernina Express! - We had a truly wonderful experience on our day trip from Como to St. Moritz, which included a ride on the iconic Bernina Express. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized and seamless. Our guide, Amato, was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided fascinating insights that enriched the entire journey. Our driver, Antonio, navigated the narrow mountain roads and sharp turns with remarkable skill, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout. The day began with a smaller shuttle from Como, which connected us with the larger group that departed from Milan. The transition was smooth and efficient. Riding the Bernina Express through the stunning alpine scenery was an unforgettable highlight — an incredible way to experience the natural beauty of the Alps. I highly recommend this tour for anyone staying in Como or Milan who wants a taste of the Alps in a single, unforgettable day!

Beautiful scenery. - Experiencing the train and bus ride was exhilarating as we glided through the enchanting blanket of snow. The scenery transformed into a winter wonderland, making each moment feel magical!

We paid 450pound for three of us , I think we could have done it much cheaper organising it ourselves .But great if you - I did not research this enough and could have done it much cheaper organising it myself , I already had the car and could have drove there myself . It's a very long day especially coming from Menaggio as we had an hour to travel to get to the pick up point and then the mad dash to try to find a parking space . the train ride itself lasts 2.5 hours and is spectacular . The bus ride is significantly longer but also goes through some spectacular scenery . The host is quite amusing and we learned some interesting facts .

Long ride for a short trip - The bus ride to and from the train was way longer than we anticipated (I didn't see that the actual ride to get to and from would take over 5 hours) and the bus stunk. We were the only Americans on the trip, and we had a very hard time understanding our director. She was great as far as knowledge, but without being able to understand, it was difficult to enjoy. The views from the train were amazing, but we were on there such a short period of time compared to what it took to get there.

Scenery spectacular, tour company awful - I wish I could rate this experience in two different ways. The town of St Moritz and the scenery from the Bernina Express were both wonderful. The mountains were so majestic and the valleys gorgeous!!! However, I can not recommend this tour company. We and 2 other couples were met at the specified location by a non-English speaking bus driver (although the tour expressly says English tour) and it took a lot of translating with our phones and him making phone calls before we figured out we all belonged together. Then after an hour ride with him, we met up with a larger bus (that was pulling out and obviously going to leave our 3 couples) where there was an English speaking guide and many other English speaking tourists. After harsh words yelled between the drivers out the windows of the buses, we followed the larger bus to a gas station where they pulled over and we boarded that bus. It was NOT a good experience! We should have been told the situation by the tour company beforehand
