“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.”

Our day started with the train from Milan to Lecco and then we were met by a bus to take us to Bellano for a quick stop, and then Tirano where we had lunch, and then we boarded the Bernina train. The scenery was breathtaking. Mari was a brilliant guide and we thoroughly enjoyed her company. Our driver was also so accommodating and good humoured.
