Luca has so much knowledge and there were not any questions he couldn't answer. Absolutely perfect day, thanks Luca!

Early morning start for the day from Milan. First part of journey is by coach. Amazing scenery along the way. Only down side was the first stop for toilet and coffee if required. Establishment either not prepared for the huge influx of people and buses. One was lucky to get to the toilet let alone get coffee. Ohh and another negative, the rude fellow passengers who have scant regard for arriving back in allocated time. Lovely lunch before boarding the Red train( no it’s not the Bernina) however the trip was spectacular. We were fortunate there had been heavy snowfalls the day before. A trip not to be missed.

Como, the largest city in this region. Along the way we are regularly treated to beautiful views of small villages on the other side of the lake. The radiant sun makes it even more idyllic, but otherwise there is little to do in this region (at this time of year).
