“The trip was fantastic and our guide was great. The scenery riding up the Gondola and the Tram to the top of Mt Pilatus was spectacular. We were even blessed with the first snow of the season once we got to the top. The views were breathtaking. The Cog Wheel train ride down a unique experience and of the course the boat ride back to Lucerne was awesome. Highly recommend this tour”

“Loved it, no shortage of chocolate or cheese! Excellent value for money. No other snacks needed along the way. Recommend doing the golden panoramic train very lovely views. Safe to leave items like coats on the bus. Not over booked so a good size group. Early start meaning almost guaranteed no line on arrival at both planned events, except when you look behind you 5 mins later! All the tours leave from the Geneva central bus station sp find that and then your operator, 2 mins walk from the main train / tram station. Long day but restaurants of all types within 200m on return with reasonable value. Our guide…”

“A empresa que administra o trem Bernina no trecho de Tirano a St Moritz e a volta de St Moritz a Tirano , não aceitou o bilhete que vcs me enviaram , foi muito constrangedor e humilhante , e na volta ainda tive comprar o bilhete de volta de St Moritz a Tirano pois não me deixaram embarcar na última hora com meus filhos . Gastei 66 ,00 CHF francos suissos em três bilhetes , além de passar por toda essa situação vexatória. Quero Receber no mínimo meu dinheiro de volta que gastei a mais mais impostos , porque paguei no cartão de crédito. Att . Vito Lerario”
