Great day trip from Milan. The bus ride was scenic; they stop partway for a restroom break and to buy coffee/snacks on the way to St Moritz. Our guide, Salvatore, was great. Knowledgeable and helpful. We had close to 2 hrs in St Moritz to have lunch and walk around the small village. Our group had a whole train car on the Bernina Express. It’s not the train cars with the panoramic windows but the 2nd class cars which tend to be better for taking photos as these windows open for better viewing. The scenery was amazing on the train ride. All in all, it was very organized and a great experience!

Giusy was an exceptional guide, present and available, the organization was impeccable, a really pleasant hit and run from St. Moritz. Gianni was an exceptional driver, attentive, fluid in the way he drove, even on the steepest hairpin bends I felt safe. Beautiful snowy landscapes, sharp mountains and suggestive frozen lakes to admire on board the red train. Beautiful experience!

We loved it! We leave Milan at 7:30 in the morning towards one of the best experiences of our lives! Upon reaching St. Moritz the emotion is enormous when looking around and seeing everything full of snow with the sun warming our soul! It would be possible to go independently, but it would be much more complicated and certainly less enjoyable. Do it through Get Your Guide and don't worry about anything, just go and enjoy. The Guide was very friendly, we enjoyed it a lot! 5 stars
