Ride the Bernina Red Train from Milan to St. Moritz, crossing Swiss Alps, glaciers, and mountain valleys on a full-day guided trip.
“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.”

Review of the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail day trip from Cairns, with itinerary details, costs, tips, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“Of course we booked a Great Barrier Reef trip while in Cairns, and this seemed like the other "must see". The Skyway ride was fun and had some amazing views. The stops along the way were informative and again great views. The town itself was far less impressive. On the October Sunday we were there about half the restaurants and stores seemed to be closed. The zoo was fine but very small. The train ride back was not as impressive as the skyway. It was slow, hot, and much of the time you aren't seeing much of anything. Overall, glad we did it but might have been better to rent…”

“Had an amazing day trip to St. Moritz! The scenery was absolutely stunning – from the crystal-clear lake to the snow-capped mountains, it was like stepping into a postcard. The journey itself was smooth and well-organized. Only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is , we wished we had a bit more time to wander. Still, it was a fantastic experience overall and would definitely recommend it!”

“We had a fantastic tour to St Moritz from Milan today! Everything was superbly organised from start to finish. My messages to Luca were answered quickly and all the correspondence was professional and timely. 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. Thank you for giving us an excellent day trip from Milan…”
