Wonderful day, full of bucket list sites! - 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 - 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.

Great day - I wanted to see Lake Como and ride the Bernina Express, and with my limited time, this allowed me to do both. The cruise in Lake Como was great. I didn't do the St Moritz walking tour with the group. I just grabbed a sandwich and strolled around on my own. The Bernina Express really is a brilliant train journey. I'm not sure having opening windows is better than the other carriages with the big windows as they dont open the whole way, so you sort of have to stand up to take photos.

Somehow disappointed - My tour was run for Autostradale Viaggi, June 8th, and two issues happened.
The tour in Lago Como was only 35 minutes, not 1 hour. The listing says 1-hour Lake Como cruise by private boat.
I asked the guide when we finished the boat ride, and she said that the tour was always 30 or 35' only.
So if she is right, you should correct the listing I would've booked anyway, but I don't like when they don't state the truth. It was a sunny and beautiful day to enjoy 25 more minutes. I would like an answer from the Company about this!
I was on time early in the morning, making the line to get into the bus, when I showed my ticket to the Tour guide, she said that I was not in her bus, she told me to wait for my bus there. I asked her a second time because time was passing, I showed again my ticket, the time matched, the Company name and she said I was not in her bus. I started running around the block asking another guides, everybody trying to help, it was already the departure time, i got nervous, when I got a call from the company's office that my bus was about to leave, I could've missed my tour because the Tour guide didn't care about checking well, when I went back to the bus she called my name and yelled at my saying that I was supposed to look for my name in her list. She didn't say that when I asked twice and I was not supposed to do her job!
The spectacular views from the Train made me forget all the hustle, and I could enjoy my day.

The guide was very bad.... - The guide was very bad. I chose Spanish, but he was bilingual, but he gave all the information in English and when the time for Spanish came, he spoke little and inside, almost unheard. He did not explain things right, nor informed about where there were bathrooms for the travellers. It was a trip with a lot of people (should be a smaller group). He didn't have time for almost anything. Only worth it because the place is beautiful.

SCAM - The tour is billed as “Bernina express” but when you arrive at the station you get on the red Bernina train which is not the same as it has no bar service or tables or windows as panoramic.
They're a scam and they don't take over.

Horrible Customer Service – They Don’t Care About Their Clients! - I had a terrible experience with this company and wouldnt recommend them to anyone.
I booked a tour through the Getyourguide website for the day trip from Milan to Lake Como and St. Moritz with this company.
When I faced a difficult situation during the tour, they were completely unhelpful and unhelpful and unresponsive.
It was unacceptable and has caused me significant financial loss and emotional distress.
Below are the key issues I encountered:
1) Misleading Itinerary & Last-Minute Changes:
I discovered that the itinerary was not as advertised. At the last minute, the train departure location was changed and replaced with a cheaper optionthe tickets for this new route were less than what was promised.
2) Difficult Meeting Point & Communication Breakdown:
The meeting point in St. Moritz was extremely hard to locate.
To make matters worse, the communication tool provided by the company stopped working at a crucial moment, leaving me with no way to reach out for assistance. I began sending messages shortly after the bus departed, but received no response.
3) Stranded, Missed Train, and Lack of Assistance:
Since I received no communication from the company, I was forced to figure out my own way back to Milana process that took over six hours and required me to change between four different buses and trains. Throughout this ordeal, I repeatedly reached out to them, not only to secure my return but also to arrange a way to collect my bag.
Unfortunately, I did not receive any response until the following morning (after contacting Getyourguide who sent them an email), a mere 20 minutes before the bus was scheduled to depart from the Milan spot. By that time, I had already missed my early morning train from Milan, and the 20-minute window provided was completely inadequate.
4) Unprofessional Treatment & Humiliation:
When I finally reached the bus, the driver insisted that I return an outdated communication device (a radio) before releasing my bag. During my subsequent conversation with the managerwho spoke rudely and without any empathyI was further humiliated when an individual from their team physically pushed me off the bus in front of over a hundred passengers.
This appalling treatment forced me to raise my voice before they reluctantly returned my bag.
This entire experience demonstrates a clear disregard for customer well-being and professional service.
This company completely neglects its customers when they need help the most. If something goes wrong, dont expect them to care.
Avoid this company at all costs!

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS OPERATOR - 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.
