What To Expect
Lago Di Carezza
Departing from Bolzano, the gateway to the Dolomites and the capital of the province of South Tyrol, we'll cross the Ega Valley, which begins in Bolzano and runs east between the Catinaccio and Latemar mountains. This road was built in 1894 when the area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We'll stop at Lake Carezza, the most beautiful lake in the western Dolomites: a 30-minute stay with a walk around the lake, if you like.
Fassa Valley
Then we will arrive to Costalunga Pass. Near the Pass we will see the historical “Grand Hotel Carezza”, built in 1893, the first luxury hotel in the Dolomites which hosted very important guests like the Empress Sissi, Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie. From the Costalunga Pass we will reach the Fassa Valley in Trentino: we will pass through the towns of Vigo di Fassa and Canazei to arrive under the imposing peaks of the Sella Group.

Best sights, no stress!

5.00We loved our tour with Gianni - he showed us so many amazing sites all over the Dolomites. He was very flexible and knowledgable, and made it very easy to see all of the highlights in one day. It was so nice to sit back and let someone else do the driving and parking - we would have been so stressed out trying to see half of these sites by ourselves. Absolutely book him if you want to see the most beautiful places. Thank you, Gianni!
Fantastic family trip to Dolomites

4.00This was a great experience! Gianni was very flexible, kind and knowledgeable and loves what he does. He also drove very well and had a very well maintained and comfortable van. While he knows a lot, it would have been helpful if he explained more about the history and geology of the region. We could not have seen so much without his experienced guidance.
Trust me, you want to book the tour!!!!

5.00We truly had the best day with Gianni and would highly recommend booking this tour. It was so nice to have door to door service, Gianni was an amazing driver and made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire trip. Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully planned out and he gave us ample time to enjoy each location. We were on our honeymoon and he (with the help of his wife) made us feel very celebrated and took some of our most memorable pictures from the trip. We loved our time with Gianni and would book with him again if we were ever to return to the Dolomites. Thanks, Gianni!!!
Amazing Day in the Dolomites with Gianni

5.00What an amazing day! We were in Bolzano (which was a charming town!) specifically between other points in Austria / Germany before getting to Venice, and came specifically to see the Dolomites. I have NO IDEA how we'd have experienced it without Gianni's amazing tour. We could (family of 5 - two adult children, my husband, me and my mom) just relax while he expertly took us from point to point, adding great insights along the way. We were so fortunate because the weather was pristine on our day in late May, and the crowds hadn't yet fully descended. It was a brilliant time to be there. This tour was one of the best highlights of our entire two weeks across Vienna, Munich, Innsbruck, Bolzano, and Venice. The mountains and lakes are absolutely gorgeous, and we were so grateful to be able to share this part of the world due to Gianni's fantastic knowledge and expert navigating / driving. The stopping points were perfectly described in the trip itinerary with pictures, so we felt well informed in advance and were so pleased we got to see it all and take in the beauty of this region with Gianni. He was SOOO kind above and beyond this itinerary, as our later stop was impacted by the Italian rail strike, and we were able to hire him to drive us to Venice as our train was canceled. We're forever grateful for both this tour and the unplanned extra time en route to Venice with him!
A day in the Dolomites hosted by Gianni.

5.00We had a wonderful day exploring the Dolomites with Gianni as our guide. He was punctual, attentive to our needs, and gave us plenty of time to visit each spot. His knowledge of the region enriched our experience, and he had some great recommendations along the way. We definitely saw much more than we would have been able to on our own. This was one of the most anticipated parts of our trip and we feel so lucky that Gianni was the person who helped make this day special. Highly recommend!

Tour of a Lifetime in the Dolomites with Giovanni

5.00Tour The Dolemites with Gionni Our family recently took a tour of the Dolemites with our phenomenal tour guide Gionni. He was courteous, knowledgable, and went out of his way to make our tour the most unique experience of our lives. His local knowledge of sights and scenery led us to several off the beaten path locations that we never would have had the pleasure of seeing otherwise. He fit multiple stops in our schedule throughout the day without making the trip feel rushed. Gionni filled the car ride with fun facts on the different towns and landscapes we passed through. He also recommended several restaurant ideas that were amazing. Gionni is an experienced driver with master control of every turn and curve of each mountain. He drove us through the mountains as if we were his own family with care and attention to every detail. If you want the most breathtaking tour of your life with the absolute BEST guide of your life you need to contact Gionni to get your once in a lifetime experience started !
Dolomites in a day.

5.00On March 14, we had a tour of the Dolomites. Our guide was Gianni with tour Dolomites. It was an overcast day with low cloud cover that prohibited “traditional” views of the mountains. However, Gianni took us to a number of hidden treasures that would have been only known to a local. Gianni was very courteous, knowledgeable and made the day special and personal. We had a great day and highly recommend him.
