Lovely day trip with the most beautiful scenery. Really loved the train but wish it would have been longer. Our driver and tour guide were really helpful and friendly. It may have been a long day but it was an experience.

Here’s the good and the bad. The train was one of the most memorable experiences. The views are spectacular and it was an awe inspiring journey to gorgeous St. Moritz. The bus to the train (and ALL THE WAY back to Milan) was the most uncomfortable ride. I am 5’4 and my daughter is 5’2. THERE WAS NO LEG ROOM. It was so tight that the passenger in the seat in front of us leaned back and my knee is completely bruised. I’ve taken La Vacanza Travel tours all through Europe and have never, ever experienced anything like it. This was awful. My teen is 5’2”, never complains and is still sore from the seat in front of her leaning on her knees. To note- I have never written a bad tour review in all of my travels.

We booked the tour in English but our tour guide conducted the tour in both Spanish and English and Italian! The guide switched between English and Spanish without pause and then spoke to the driver in Italian. It was very confusing and extremely difficult to understand. It was disappointing that English was actually the guide's third language. We asked general questions and she didn't understand or couldn't answer properly. We have booked tours with La Vacanza Travel before and were very happy with the quality of tours however this one was truly disappointing. We didn't learn anything about the places we visited. The train ride with the Bernini Express was the highlight of the trip and saved the day. I would recommend not booking this tour and book a train ticket yourself instead. The guide is a lovely person but truly should not be providing a tour in English with such poor communication skills.

The Bernina was a lot of fun. Only wish we had the full glass/ceiling windows; however, we were able to open the window on the train and take lots of pictures. So much fun.

The trip itself was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. We really loved the train and the trip through the Alps. Unfortunately the guide let La Vacanza Travel down. Her English pronunciation was often difficult to follow and she really did not demonstrate much knowledge or show interest in the trip itself. Questions were not encouraged and when I asked her about the impact on climate change and the amount of snow, she really could not be drawn into making comment. At one point the coach was held up by the activities of a helicopter and again she made no comment as to what it was up to. On the train, we passed what looked like an ice sculpture and she did not point it out. Throughout the guide was working on her laptop and it was as if she was doing the bare minimum to fulfil any 'guide' obligations.
