About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- angelasG3547JA0 contributionsBernina red train excursion.Maria Christina our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable. She shared her own thoughts with the group on the frozen lakes, how magical they are to her. Claudio our driver was also amazing, the roads were very dangerous and he got us from the mountain top with no issues. Thank you both so much. I would have thought it would have been more energy efficient to take the train back down to meet the bus where we were dropped off at Tarino.Written February 14, 2025

- L9144ZPjustins0 contributionsSt. MoritzOur trip to St. Moritz was amazing and so was our train trip on the red train. Alessandro was an excellent guide too. Highlites included the free time to explorer Moritz and shopping for mementoes.Written February 13, 2025
- 85aleksandarp0 contributionsWarm recomendationAn unforgettable journey through the Alps! The Bernina Express was the highlight, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains, and the famous Brusio spiral viaduct. The train ride from St. Moritz to Tirano was smooth, comfortable, and packed with stunning scenery. In St. Moritz, we had time to explore the elegant resort town, enjoy Swiss chocolate, and take in the views of Lake St. Moritz. The tour was well-organized, with comfortable transport and an informative guide. A must-do for nature lovers and photographers. Long day, but absolutely worth it! Alessandro was great to have as the guide.Written February 13, 2025

- Theodorus A0 contributionsGreat experienxeA day trip to St. Moritz from Milan is a breathtaking experience, combining scenic beauty with Swiss luxury. The journey, often via the Bernina Express, offers stunning alpine views, glacial landscapes, and charming villages. St. Moritz itself is elegant, with pristine lakes, high-end boutiques, and excellent dining options. While time is limited, a stroll around the lake, a quick visit to the town’s historic sites, and a taste of Swiss chocolate or fondue make the trip worthwhile. Though expensive, the experience is unforgettable, offering a perfect mix of nature and sophistication. An ideal escape for those craving a taste of Switzerland.Written February 10, 2025
- Vic V0 contributionsWords matter! This is not the Bernina Express you see in the pictures!The tour guide and the driver did a great job of explaining everything throughout the day giving us history and geographic reference wherever we were. I rated this tour so low because this is not the Bernina Express. This tour is the Bernina Red Line with the only benefit added was the windows are able to come down to stick your head out while the train moves. This not the train you see with the windows that wrap up and around the train. We were rushed into the first car on the train with no guarantee you were able to sit with your family. We were on the smallest cart with the most uncomfortable seats. A family of 9 was the only ones that were on an another cart and they were put on the cart designed for bicycles and had pull down wooden benches to sit on facing each other. As we departed the train we were finally able to see the rest of the train and literally every cart were the comfortable seats we saw advertised but ours. I would avoid this tour if you are looking for the actual Bernina ExpressWritten February 8, 2025
- 717alissonm0 contributionsRecommend!!The trip was amazing! Everything’s was perfect, I really recommend. However, in the beginning when we got in the bus station, there’s many bus companies and we got lost in the beginning. It needs to be reorganized as we almost lost the bus. Same in the first stop as well, there’s a high queue for the bathroom and they needs to stop in a less busy area or recommend where is the toilet. But all the rest was really amazing, tour guide was really nice with us and we had a magic experience!Written February 8, 2025
- Sameh A0 contributionsAmazing tripWell organized. Tour guide was really nice, friendly and helpful. She explained everything in details. The trip itself has amazing views that are a must watch.Written February 8, 2025
- beagles10130 contributionsBreath takingWe have booked many experiences over the years and this has to be in the top 2 ever. The day starts early and it’s a long bus ride up to St Moritz, approximately 3.5 hours. There is a stop for restrooms and coffee about half way into the bus ride. The ride up to St Moritz is beautiful and the road is very winding with many switchbacks. Our driver Enzo did them with a great amount of skill and made moving the big motor coach through some very tight turns look easy Approximately 2 hours on your own in St Moritz to take pictures, shop and have lunch. Then the fun begins! You get on the train and off you go on one of the most scenic train rides in the world. Make sure your phone is fully charged since you will use most of the battery taking pics and videos. Arrive in Tirano and depart the train with another long drive back to Milan. Lots of time on the bus but so worth it! Our guide Alejandro was great! He had us entertained and laughing throughout the trip. He also recognized that it was important at times not to talk but to let people sleep on the way up. He was very informative and gave us some particularly interesting info on the ride back relative to the wine production in the area. This excursion is amazing. It’s once in a lifetime. Do let miss it.Written February 7, 2025

I had a great experience! We drove from Milan in a comfortable bus and then took a boat to Venice. We had a (optional) guided tour, and then had about 2.5 hours on our own to walk around the city, which was full of incredible sights. Expect to make it back to Milan by around 8 pm. One thing to note is the gondola rides only accept cash.

The tour was pretty easy to follow through. We met in Milan in the morning and took the fast train to Venice. Maria was our guide until we got to Venice, then a local guide there joined us for the first hour to explain some history and culture. The tour was a good mix of the guides talking and then having free time for about 3 hours to explore on your own in Venice.
I would recommend this to others so that they can get a good mix of information from guides and explore on their own as well.

My husband and I went on a day trip to Venice with Taotravel, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Maria Christina, and the local guide in Venice, Filippo, took us to hidden nooks and corners, helping us avoid the crowds, which we truly appreciated. Maria was exceptionally patient, attentive, and informative throughout the tour. She made the experience feel relaxed and unrushed, which allowed us to fully take in the beauty of Venice. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable day trip.

It was good to see the place with some explanations and we had such good weather. Glad it was not peak season as Venice is very full of people even at this time. It was very nice for our guides to keep a keen eye on our group to ensure no one was lost in the crowd; appreciate the care taken. We also had some afternoon time to immerse and explore the streets of Venice on our own - it was really nice!

It was very lovely trip to the most romantic city in Italy. And I feel four hours duration in Venice is not enough and not fare to enjoy and explore this lovely city. I prefer transfer the visitors by train not by bus which will reduce the trip time by almost 2 hours.

Trip booked in the first week of January 2024 from Milan was cancelled.
We however did the trip to Venice on our own by high-speed train. The crowds there made us wonder why the operator could not manage a standard tour from Milan to Venice on the booked date .
Anyway, the operator did notify a few days in advance of the cancellation and the booking amount was refunded.
So credit is due for that!
Though I would add, that once an option is made available, the operator should try to go ahead with the tour.
If past history shows less demand during that time, better not offer the option at all.
May be relevant or possible here or not, but in our past travels we have booked a group tour( in another European country) only on the day to find our selves the only couple in the van.
The operator still simply went ahead with us two and won our eternal admiration !

Spent the day travelling from Milan to Venice with our guide Venezia.
What a wonderful day , long, very hot but definitely worth doing . Venezia was very informative, funny and throughout the drive there and back kept us informed about what we were passing.
In Venice we had a local guide who was fantastic, kept us in cool walkways away from the crowds. The guide in Venice also booked us into a great restaurant, good food and great service .

Mariacristina our tour guide was great. However, we had a hectic morning because of many last-minute changes.
If you like a history lesson, the local tour guide we met in Venice (not Mariacristina) was very knowledgeable.
If you need more than 3.5 hours for lunch and pictures, this tour might not be for you.
Our group was small, and everyone was friendly. That made our family trip that much more memorable.

The trip was canceled on us and was too late to book with someone else, I received the email late at night one day before the trip was scheduled . They sent a message a week before to ask if I want to change the date and I couldn’t because my time was limited , but they didn’t cancel the trip then to give us the chance to find another operator .. only a day ahead because they didn’t have enough people.. unreliable and very disappointing, if I knew earlier on that they are canceling the trip I would have booked with another operator.

Dear customer, we understand your frustration with the cancellation of the tour, but as you write, a week before we informed you that the tour was not yet confirmed, so you had plenty of time to change operator, but instead you told us that you preferred wait. your disappointment is understandable but the one-star rating seems a bit exaggerated to me. However, as you can see from our high rating, yours is only an isolated case.
Thanks

Hi,
What is the difference between the standard tour and the high speed train tour. Does the standard tour still include transportation to Venice from Milan?
