Traveler reviews
Greedy
I did not get to go. Immediately after I paid I tried to log into my app to get more details on the trip. My app showed "no bookings". I then logged in to the laptop website account. Again "no bookings" I then emailed Viator to let them know that, and that they had charged me twice. No response. No communication from Viator or the tour company ever came until it was too late. I asked for both charges to be refunded but they only refunded the duplicate charge. I had to PROVE to them everything I just stated by provided screenshots, ect. I still do not see that they have refunded either charge on my credit card statement. What a scam. And why do they even deal with loser tour companies in the first place (they are trying to blame it on me and the tour company)? Not only did I miss this tour, but much of my time and effort has been wasted attempting to clear this matter up. I have used Viator in the past, but seeing that they have no value for the customer I will never do business with them again. I hope you dont either.
Absolutely!!The sights...
Absolutely!!The sights were breathtaking!!! The bus ride to and back was amazing just as the train ride.
Very good and worth every...
Very good and worth every $. Thanks to the Guide Simone very helpful and nice. Great views and overall awesome trip
It’s a WOW. Brilliant scenery.
Brilliant scenery. On the bus from Milan sit on the left side for a better view of Lake Como. On the red train, sit on the right side of the carriage for the best views, but let folks on the right side of the carriage to photograph the snow and mountains that you can see. Be generous. Commentary for us was difficult. Two reasons. Firstly the commentary was in Italian, which I don’t understand , and when it was repeated in English, it seemed like the specific photo opportunity had passed. Actually, very annoying. Secondly, the guide giving the commentary has/had a throat issue (unfortunately) which meant we couldn’t really understand or comprehend what he was saying. At times he used a portable speaker to expouse what he was saying - even in Italian, and even to one person only. This was unsatisfactory.
A breath of fresh air
We are visiting Milan during the heat wave in June, and it was terribly hot, but we are so THANKFUL to have booked this beautiful excursion to the Swiss alps. It was like a breath of fresh air! Angelo was a kind and informative tour guide. He was attentive to each tourist and gave clear directions. Our bus driver was Massimo. He handled the narrow road and the tight turns going up to the alps masterfully. We were thoroughly impressed. No one got car sick. We would highly recommend this tour to others. :) ciao!
