4.00The trip is truly full of eye-catching natural beauty - especially the views around Cortina d'Ampezzo and the lakes! However, the whole day seemed a bit rushed. Very little time is available in each place, so there is less opportunity to enjoy comfortably or eat something. Being a small group, the atmosphere was nice, but if we had a little more time, the experience would have been perfect.
Overpriced

3.00We had a one hour stop in Cortina on our own then two hours for lunch in a place where there was hardly anything open. There were no admission fees. We weren't even given a bottle of water yet the charge was way over $400 for the two of us. that was very expensive since it didn't include a boat ride or museum a ski liftor anything else. The main point was we couldn't understand the guide and he couldn't understand us. When we asked the name of the town he was talking about a toll that's one example. very disappointing for the cost and what we experienced.
Beautiful Dolomites!!

2.00Good driver but wrong vehicle. It is too long of a trip to be seating three abreast for the entire day. Until this operator changes to a larger vehicle or starts to carry few people, I do not recommend this tour.
Perfect Tour!

5.00We had the most incredible day!!! The Dolomites, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Tre Cime Di Lavaredo views from Lake Antorno and Lago di Misurina were absolutely breathtaking! Fortunately, we had perfect weather and our tour guide, Marco, was amazing! Super friendly and knowledgeable! Plus, he knew all the perfect places to stop to take in the beauty, which allowed us to take some spectacular photos.
Carlo was a GREAT guide. We will never go on a guided bus excursion again. He was very knowledgeable & super nice!
