The person who suppose to meet you at the train station show up late, and not on schedule, meeting location was changed the day before. Stopped at wine shop and restaurant which is not on the list of the location, rushing the entire trip, do not have enough time to spend after we get off the train in the train station to take pictures, and waste half hour in the wine store, and half hour in the bakery. It would be better if you just give more time in other locations to slow down and take pictures and look around and a real location store to buy some local products. Totally not organized. On the train, there are other empty seat which he organized us sit in a one full of people. This tour cost more and suppose to have more stop and spot to see. I don’t consider my money is well spent. Do not recommend. The wine store, if you want to taste you have to buy a cup and is around 7-9 euro, buying an entire bottle is cheaper. Totally rip off. No free tasting, how could you buy something before you try, and if you try you have to pay for trying it. It would be better to join another tour cost less and less stop. Just go to the major spot. Most of the spot is a waste.

Luka is a very nice tour guide and personable. He made a point of getting to know everyone’s name and something about them.

My husband and I had the best time on this tour! If you are thinking about booking, don’t think just do! This was easily one of the coolest experiences I’ve had and our tour guide Sylvia was so nice and knowledgeable. How often can you say you took a train through the Swiss alps? This tour also made us realize we’d love to make a trip out of a Lake Como stay. Book and you won’t regret it!

The train ride was something my sister had told me about while she was studying abroad in Europe. I am a person. That loves to experience new things and being from Colorado i have always wanted to visit the Swiss alps to see how they compare to our beautiful Rocky Mountains, as our Southern mountains are always considered to be the Swiss alps of America. The trip did not disappoint. It was along day but well worth it and absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Our tour guide, Silvia who is from Leppo, Italy, the first stop to get into a tour bus on the journey to the train. She was fantastic and felt like a friend at the end of the trip. If you have any reservations of doing the trip, do it! My wife did not want to join me but ended up having a wonderful time throughout the day! Highly recommend!

This trip was amazing. We was originally booked for a later date but the weather forecast was awful so Luca went above and beyond to get us on an earlier trip as we were only there a few days. We’re so glad he did. It was so well organised, the guide was lovely and so passionate about what she did. She was so knowledgeable and made sure the whole group had a great time. The trip itself was amazing, the scenery you see is stunning. I think we saw every season throughout the trip. I’m glad we packed hat and gloves as it was pretty cold once we got to St Moritz. Just fantastic.
I would recommend this trip to anyone who is in Milan you will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Luca and his fantastic team.!
