“The day trip itself was good but a bit long on the way back. The only “problem” I had was when we arrived to the meeting point there were already multiple people in line, when the tour guide arrived she jumped on the bus and called us all over, people pushed in and went out of line and I didn’t really think that was fair on the people who had been waiting prior. Someone was elbowing me out of the way so they could get onto the bus. Other than that a really good day trip.”

“Very disappointed we did not get to go on the Bernina Express, we were put on the regional train with no panoramic windows or comfortable chairs. Several people on tour queried the train as the real Bernita Express was in the platform next to us, so you could see the difference in train quality. I was bluntly told “this is your train “ and was pointed to the local red transit train. Would not have paid for this trip if I had known the train ride was not the Bernina Express. The guide was translating in several different languages, and would forget to translate into English at times. This was…”
