Great views... We enjoyed it....... organizational skills by tour guide that day lacking.

Bring a good cell phone and a back up battery. Fabulous scenery. HOWEVER their tour guide(s) need to do a MUCH BETTER job of explaining where to meet back. 2 people were left behind. Just make sure the instructions are clear. The guide that day did a poor job of explaining it. The actual tour was magnificent.

Do it!

Experience was amazing! Our guide, Katia, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I was very nervous about getting nauseous on the drive through the Maloja Pass, and she was so thoughtful—she let me know when we were approaching it and checked in on me, which really helped put me at ease. In the end, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined! Sitting front row helped me a lot to visualize the road and turns. Our driver, Paulo, was excellent and made the journey feel very smooth. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the Bernina train ride was unforgettable, and the town was charming with amazing food. It was such a nice change of pace from Milan, and we really enjoyed experiencing a completely different side of the region. I would definitely recommend this tour!

The train ride is the only good thing.

It is a nice experience to see the views from the train that’s about it. The stop in St. Moritz is honestly nothing special. The restaurants there are very uninviting and not hospitality friendly. There are also very few if any souvenir shops to visit. Besides that be ready for a long day as it’s an early morning departure with a late arrival depending on traffic. Overall, I think it should be priced much less as it’s not that much of what I expected it to be for the cost. The tour guide (Katya) was nice but she could have used some more enthusiasm/engaging hospitality.
