We didn't have a panoramic coach - but that didn't matter a bit - the views were spectacular! Apparently the Bernina Express is a "working" train that uses the panoramic cars mostly in the early morning trips - if you take this from Milan, you will not be boarding the train until about 12 noon. Although you take a bus down from St Moritz, it was not a negative as you get to see a different part of the Alps. Our tour guide was wonderful as was our bus driver -- he definitely had experience winding down the tight mountain turns. If you have time in Italy, I would not miss this trip for anything!

Brilliant tour, but it would have been better with an observation carriage as described in the advertisement. Brilliant courier and driver. Well worth the money.

This is one trip not to be missed! I would rate the views on par with those of the Grand Canyon. Simply amazing.

The day is too long, and there's not enough time in St. Moritz.

This wasn't the advertised trip - we were not on the panoramic train car or the advertised route - but it didn't matter. In fact, the ordinary train turned out better as the windows could be opened for great photos.

The trip was fantastic. The tour guide/leader should be more professional, and should introduce more about the tour.

The trip did not start off very well. The pickup area was not marked, and we were concerned that we were in the wrong spot. The shuttle was not marked, either. Our guide did not explain any thing to us, and he barely spoke to us the entire trip. Once we got to the train the rest of the trip was fantastic. Seeing the Swiss Alps was amazing and being able to spend time wandering around St.Moritz was great.

We enjoyed the trip, but would have liked a bit more organization. The scenery was wonderful, and it was an experience not to be forgotten.

Not enough time in St. Moritz for the length of journey to get there. Tour guide slept on the Bernina Express, and was therefore not available to answer questions. He also gave wrong information in regards to the waterways. Lunch stop would be better in St. Moritz as the stop-off restaurant was very basic and tourists don't mind paying to eat somewhere different. It would also give them more time to relax in St. Moritz after the long journey. Viator is a superb professional company as I went on other tours with no problems. The St. Moritz tour just needs a little attention.

The ad misrepresents the train. It is not a glass top train. In fact, it was a very old train that sounded lousy. Our guide was not informative and couldn't speak the language very well. This tour can be passed up.
