Chiara is the best! - Hands out one of the best trips we ever had and it was all thanks to our guide Chiara. She was wonderful! Always made sure to help us take pictures, find restrooms, order food etc.. She was so lively and hilarious! There was never a dull moment. I recommend this trip to anyone and if you get Chiara you are in for the best. Out of all the guided tours I took on this family trip, this was my favorite. The views were amazing! Paolo was our driver and was always on time and made sure we arrived where we had to at a timely manner. Overall I would give 10/10! Saludos from Mexico -Bryan and Maria 2/5/25

Pick a sunny day to see the scenery. - We set out on a big sunny day and the views of Lake Como and the Snowy Mountains train were excellent. The trip was also well arranged and there was no feeling of sitting in the car for too long. Because it's a small group, it's easy to stroll without having to squeeze in with the big group. The tour guide was very kind and the explanations were detailed. I'll come back when I have a chance.

beautiful! - I enjoyed going to Lake Como and doing the walking tour. I did this activity in January, so it wasn’t overly crowded.
Going on the Bernina train was absolutely gorgeous. We did not go on the Bernina express, which has bigger windows, but I love the fact that we could pull these windows open which mean for great pictures. Saint Moritz was pretty, but definitely not a highlight.

Very attentive , friendly , explained well all the relevant points of the trip . - It was the most beautiful landscape trip I've ever seen! Note 10. Landscape with exceptional snow al for who eh Brazilian.. But the company needs to provide more comfortable and not so tight vans.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience and amazing guides Paolo e Chaira! I strongly reccomend this tour. They take you to Lago di Como, walk around Lecco city. Then we took the Bernina Train to St. Moritz. The views are incredibles. We stay 1 and a half hour in St Moritz, and then we return in bus to Milano.
