5.00Giovanni was a fantastic driver, guide, and storyteller on this breathtaking trip! The Dolomites are a MUST see if you are in northern Italy! Giovanni took us to multiple gorgeous locations for pictures and walking. The restaurant for lunch was wonderful, and the friendly conversations with other people on the tour was genuine and a great place for connection. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone, very easy difficulty level, no hiking involved. If you get carsick easily, be prepared for the winding mountain roads, but sitting the front seriously helps.

5.00This was a great way to explore areas we would have missed on our trip! Make sure to have layers to be able to adjust throughout the day as the temperatures did fluctuate. We stayed at the hotel right by where the meeting point was so if you are staying at the new Hampton this is a great choice for tour! Everything was smooth and the guide made sure we knew meeting times back allowing us to explore the different stops and enjoy the cities. Great full day excursion that I recommend!

5.00Great itinerary. Expect afternoon rainshowers so our last stop was shortened. The driver, Christiana, was excellent. We had 8 people in our party, so a bigger van would have been better. Give your drivers a mic and the passengers their own speakers so everyone can hear the driver. Overall it was a great tour. Fantastic views and scenery.
Excellent trip to Cortina...
