Bernina Express Train And St. Moritz Day Tour From Milan

Viator Offers two different two different tours from Milan to St Moritz and the panoramic Bernina Express. Go with the less expensive one. I paid more because the description said I would get 3 hours in St. Moritz and 1 hour at the Mortergasch Glacier. What I got was the itinerary of the less expensive tour. I requested a partial refund from Viator and they declined. They do not stand behind what they advertise on their Website. We had 3 different Viator tours scheduled in Italy and we head an issue with each one. I am done with using Viator.

The Bernina Express is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that everyone should enjoy. It's a long day but definitely worthwhile. Our guide Monica and bus driver Max were excellent. Monica has a wealth of information at her fingertips. Max is an expert driver which was essential given the terrain. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone - especially those who love trains, mountains & unique experiences.

Beautiful scenery and town of St.Morris was amazing to explore. Because the bus ride from Milan was quite long ( understand there is no other way), Actual your time on town exploration is way too short.

Long day but worth the effort. Our guide Hoja was great and let everyone well informed and together.

It was a beautiful sight to see the Switzerland mountains and waterfalls and glaciers. St. Moritz is a cute town.

The tour itself was great! The check in was very confusing and chaotic which led to a late departure. We were delayed by road work and accident (couldn’t be helped!) so we missed some time in St. Moritz but it worked out fine!

This trip was simply amazing and I highly recommend it. The views were spectacular and the ride was very enjoyable. St Moritz is a beautiful town albeit quite expensive. The train was built with panoramic windows so you could get the full scope of the Swiss Alps.

What a fantastic trip! Beautiful scenery on the way to St Moritz, spectacular scenery on the Bernina Express back down to Tirano. Can not recommend this trip highly enough, just do it!! Mario our guide was exceptional and Mario our driver did an outstanding job.

Picked up in Milan at 7 am, stopped along the way around 10 am for snacks at a roadside market, stopped for a pic by a beautiful lake for 5 min, arrived in st moritz at 12. Had an hour to explore, boarded train at 1pm. Train had beautiful views. Quick 5 min stop at the glacier for a pic. Arrived in Tirano at 345 and boarded bus at 4 pm. Arrived in Milan at 6:30 ( which was good since there was no traffic). Long day but the sights were worth it. Great guide and driver

The train experience was beautiful! The tour was basically just bus transportation to the train. We dropped off and picked up several people outside the tour. We would have had a much shorter day if we took the train from Central station in Italy !

Quite disappointed with this tour company. This was advertised as a max of 30 people. And we had close to 50. It was advertised as 3 hours in St Moritz. We got 30 minutes. Long enough to get a sandwich at the train station prior to getting in the train. I am not reviewing the Bernina Express train here, because it has nothing to do with this tour company. The tour company provides a means to get to the train from Milan, and back to Milan after the train ride. The tour guide was fine, but certainly not amazing. She apologized for the short stay in St Moritz by telling us that there is often traffic on the weekends and therefore it takes longer to get there from Milan. If this is the case, then they should leave earlier on the weekends. Also, due to traffic, we were running late, yet still stopped 1/2 way to St Moritz for a 30 minute coffee break. Why? Seems silly to me - especially when we were already way behind schedule. We booked this tour so we could see St Moritz and ride the train. Well, we did not get to see St Moritz due to the tour company’s failure to deliver on promises. We were crammed in with 50 people vs the max of 30 that was advertised. We only got 30 minutes in St Moritz vs the 3 hours that was stated in the tour listing. So, disappointing is the description for this review.

It is not well organized regarding the meal breaks and places. There were so many people at same place that it was difficult to get a coffee. No time for lunch and /or enjoying the city of StMoritz. Arrived 11:30 and had to be at station at 12:50. Train journey lovely, return to Milano terrible with no stops to use bathroom one tourist had to do in bus in a bag…. Guide not very informed and not properly identified. Nice small group.

Our guide Monica was wonderful. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Furthermore, she helped many of us with transportation questions, reservations, restaurants, etc. She is truly a top notch professional.

This was fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us recommendations for restaurants, sight seeing, and souvenir shops at each location. The Bernina Express is a cannot miss experience!

It was amazing. Got a great day for it. Monica was the bomb. Met some lovely people also made the day

Wonderful experience, The guide Mirta Was very kind and pacient. Always smiling and very clear, also The bus chófer Antonio. Was a very good day and great tour

The Bernina Express and St Moritz day tour was AMAZING! With every switchback on road or rail the Swiss Alps and the Italian Pre-Alps never disappointed. It’s sad to see the recession of the glaciers but the beauty still amazes. It was off season in St Moritz so no stars and most shops were closed but it was still a very cool town to walk around.

Is amazing. The train ride of the swiss alps a view that is unforgettable and St Moritz a place to visit once in your life

Sergio and Max were amazing on our tour to St. Moritz to ride the Bernina Express. We had a beautiful day - safely reached St. Moritz thanks to Max and his expertise- Sergio gave us great tips and interesting information about the areas we were in- where to take the best photos. It was such a beautiful day and this experience is a must see must do. Something about riding through such incredible, natural beauty and breathing such pure air!

Five star from the beginning to the end…luxury motorcoaches transported us from Milan to St Moritz and back. After spending free time eating fondue, drinking wine and sampling chocolate, we boarded the renown Bernina Express for a breathtaking tour through the Swiss Alps! It was a sunny day…not a cloud in the sky…so the views could not be more perfect. Cameras just can’t do the landscape justice…one needs to experience nature with 2 eyes and a sense of wonder. Thank you, Monica (our tour guide) for your informative commentary along the route. Your passion was part of what made this trip so magical! This trip is a MUST for anyone who wants to experience the majesty of earth, displayed in all of its glory!

Well organized tour. Contacted the day before about the tour and where to meet. Tour guide was informative and kept us on schedule. Everything went as promised.

This is a great trip but a very long day so try to rest up the day before and have your next day be a little lighter if you are that type of traveler.

Great way to see Switzerland on our trip to Milan. The views from the train were amazing and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The stop in St. Moritz was perfect for fondue and shopping.
