This was a beautiful experience and the best part was the company plans the itinerary for you, gives you the train tickets, hotel vouchers and everything you need in order for this trip to be stress free. I like how they took the guess work out of it and simply produced results. As a foreigner, I wasn't entirely sure how to book certain things. I booked this trip so that it could be done for me and they did not disappoint. My only critique would be that they should have elongated the trip to allow 2 days per town. For example, after Bernina Express, you end up in St. Moritz about 4:30-ish and once you get to the hotel, unwind, everything is closed and there's no time to really explore. Then the next day you have to take the Glacier Express to Zermatt which gets you there about 6:00pm and again everything is just about closed. If they know the train rides last all day, it would be better to make each location two days to give traveller's a FULL day in each place instead of getting in and going right to the hotel and dinner. Other than that, this experience was fabulous and I definitely recommend it!

Bernina express a dynamic ride with stunning landscape especially on May 27, 2023. Lugano is an amazing architectural historical town makes you’d like to stay there longer time.

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this excursion. We booked several months in advance and were assigned optimal seating on trains and bus. The assigned hotels were nice and centrally located. The scenery was breathtaking as we were fortunate to have great weather. I highly recommend the Gornergrat bahn ride in Zermatt; it is expensive but worth it.

The train rides were fantastic. The Gornergat Excursion was well worth it. The Glacier Express and the Bernina Express trains were very scenic. Note that the Bernina Express requires a SmartPhone with Internet Access )there's onboard WiFi) to listen to all the audio. The bus ride to Lugano was just so-so but it did have some interesting views.
