This tour has three parts: 1) train to Domodosolla through industrial area 2) the small guage rail to Locarno - so many trees it is virtually impossible to see view and the new panoramic train has seats so close together knees cross with those seated opposite - uncomfortable socially and physically 3) ferry ride back to Baveno - 3 hours...

A relaxing trip, with wonderful lake views and fantastic mountain railway run. More

Well worth the trip. Although the views aren’t the Glacier express in Switzerland, it was a lovely day trip. More

We set off from Baveno at 7,45 by train. We arrived at Domodossola an hour later and had about an hour to look around and have breakfast. We took the special train into the mountains. What a beautiful trip! Rather than go directly to Locarno by train we decided to make a stop at S Marie Maggiore. I would detinitely... More

We spent a spectacular day trip for 48 Euros each on the Lago Maggiore Express. We purchased the tickets at the Locarno train station as soon as we arrived Saturday late afternoon. We caught the Centovalli Express at the train station at 7:52 Sunday morning. The train takes you through the land of 100 valleys...beautiful scenery. You have a quick... More

It was quite easy to get window seats due to the timing of the Stresa train arriving and departing. I had read some reviews that complained about the amount of... More

If you are well into your retirement, travelling in a large group and have no other way of seeing any sights then perhaps this is the trip for you. Otherwise, this was one of the worst day I could imagine - I can only liken my day spent on the Lake Express to a day spent on an aircraft, except... More

We booked this trip via our hotel and this worked very well. The hotel were also able to provide a schedule of the train and boat times to help us decide where to make stops on the way and what to look at. This all-day round-trip started in Stresa for us, with taking a morning train north to Domodossola. There... More
