Terrible service. Not helpful for any help. And the guide ask us to come ourself if don’t like. Super terrible service
We are very sorry to read about your experience. The tone you describe from our guide is not acceptable and does not reflect the standard we expect. We are addressing this directly with the guide involved. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Very unhappy with this tour not what described in itinerary. Description is misleading. Do not take this tour
We're sorry to hear the tour didn't match the itinerary description. We'd like to understand exactly what didn't align so we can correct the listing and improve the experience. Could you contact us directly with more details?
I did not get to go. Immediately after I paid I tried to log into my app to get more details on the trip. My app showed "no bookings". I then logged in to the laptop website account. Again "no bookings" I then emailed Viator to let them know that, and that they had charged me twice. No response. No communication from Viator or the tour company ever came until it was too late. I asked for both charges to be refunded but they only refunded the duplicate charge. I had to PROVE to them everything I just stated by provided screenshots, ect. I still do not see that they have refunded either charge on my credit card statement. What a scam. And why do they even deal with loser tour companies in the first place (they are trying to blame it on me and the tour company)? Not only did I miss this tour, but much of my time and effort has been wasted attempting to clear this matter up. I have used Viator in the past, but seeing that they have no value for the customer I will never do business with them again. I hope you dont either.
We're very sorry for this experience. Billing issues and refund requests are handled directly by Viator's customer support team, and we're following up on our end to make sure your case is resolved. This is not the experience we want for our customers.
Absolutely!!The sights were breathtaking!!! The bus ride to and back was amazing just as the train ride.
Very good and worth every $. Thanks to the Guide Simone very helpful and nice. Great views and overall awesome trip
Brilliant scenery. On the bus from Milan sit on the left side for a better view of Lake Como. On the red train, sit on the right side of the carriage for the best views, but let folks on the right side of the carriage to photograph the snow and mountains that you can see. Be generous. Commentary for us was difficult. Two reasons. Firstly the commentary was in Italian, which I don’t understand , and when it was repeated in English, it seemed like the specific photo opportunity had passed. Actually, very annoying. Secondly, the guide giving the commentary has/had a throat issue (unfortunately) which meant we couldn’t really understand or comprehend what he was saying. At times he used a portable speaker to expouse what he was saying - even in Italian, and even to one person only. This was unsatisfactory.
We are visiting Milan during the heat wave in June, and it was terribly hot, but we are so THANKFUL to have booked this beautiful excursion to the Swiss alps. It was like a breath of fresh air! Angelo was a kind and informative tour guide. He was attentive to each tourist and gave clear directions. Our bus driver was Massimo. He handled the narrow road and the tight turns going up to the alps masterfully. We were thoroughly impressed. No one got car sick. We would highly recommend this tour to others. :) ciao!
Amazing and spectacular views 360 degrees!!! It’s worth every penny. This place needed another extended visit.
It is an incredible experience; the Alps are very visible by train, although it was cloudy and the clouds were low. However, with the explanations from Angelo, the guide, and the views, it was compensated. Highly recommended.
This was a great day. We are noticing with tours on this trip that free time is cut into… There could be more history, the bus could be cooler, there could be music playing in the bus. It is hard to retain everything with three languages of translation. Provide water bottles and have more bathroom stops like on the way back too. These things would improve this wonderful experience.
Dear Nancy, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are glad you had a great day on our Swiss Alps Bernina Red Train and St. Moritz tour. We truly appreciate your constructive suggestions — more free time, water bottles on board, additional bathroom stops, music on the bus, and more historical content are all valuable points we will take into consideration to enhance the experience. We also understand the challenge of managing information in three languages, and we are working to make this as smooth as possible. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
