This tour company has numerous travel plans you can choose from, which last from half day to a…read morewhole day. Their pickup and drop off locations are easy to navigate. The tour guide was very friendly, although didn't really share much about the history, rather more on celebrity and paparazzi stories, and mostly self guided tours without too many instructions.

**Bernina Express & St Moritz from Milan**…read more LONG day out but so worth it! Meeting time is 7am. Anna was our tourguide. Big group was divided into 2 buses: English and Italian-speaking... Bus left Milan at 7:20am, WiFi in the bus not reliable. The drive is 2.5 hours from Milan to St Moritz (bring passport). We were given 2.5 hours to walk around and take pictures of the frozen lake and watch the cross-country skiers. After a quick grocery store lunch, we boarded the red Bernina train for the most gorgeous train ride to Tirano. We felt like Anna and Elsa in winter wonderland. Every turn of the train provided gorgeous postcard-like scenery. Both bus and train rides were comfortable, there were multiple bathroom breaks and a ton of great memories. So glad we did this organized tour. Arrived back in Milan at 8pm.

"Sophisticated" is the very least I can say about the team at Sophisticated Italy…read more(http://www.sophisticateditaly.com), whereas professional, organized, and incredibly helpful speak more to their skills in putting together a custom itinerary for our grand tour of Rome, Florence, Venice, and points in-between. David and his staff were involved from the onset of our planning, were interested and available along every step of the way, be it with airports, railways, water taxis, with limousines and knowledgeable drivers. We had wanted a "full-up" first-class trip of the northern Italian cities, and decided to spend a week in each. David arranged the perfect tours, guides, and day trips for our historical, cultural and entertainment interests, as well as great recommendations for dining. Each of the personal guides David provided were knowledgeable, educated and conversant, each went far beyond the basics to focus on our personal interests and experiences. They were professional, and yet diverse in their perspectives and interests, so that our experiences with art, architecture, history, and the subtleties of each region were fully presented. Our focus will soon turn to the southern cities of this marvelous country, and I would not think of travelling without the insight and experience offered by Sophisticated Italy. I heartily recommend that you contact David, to have him help make your travel dreams come true. Mark Registered Architect & Professional Planner
