Fantastic experience through the Dolomites

5.00Although there was no communication at all before the tour date, it was easy enough to find our driver/guide. Small group of 7 people which made a better experience. Our guide Marco was fantastic, he went above and beyond to make our experience special. He was very knowledgeable, funny and accommodating to everyone on the tour. He suggested photogenic spot to take photos, we stopped and he took photos for us. Stopped in Cortina, where the some of the 2026 wineries Olympic games will be heald. We had an hour to walk around. We had 2.5 hrs in Misurina, went on the chair lift to the top and back. We had lunch at the pizzeria restaurant. Amazing experience
Too much car time, not enough explanation

3.0010 hour trip to see the Dolomites, which were beautiful. However, 70% of the time was spent in the car. 3 out of 4 of our family members got carsick, and at times the driving did not feel safe. At each place we had about 2 minutes of explanation. Our driver/guide was very friendly and respectful, but this experience was not worth the cost.
Loved this tour of the Dolomites!

5.00We had a lovely day being driven from Venice to the Dolomites by Marco. Communication prior to the tour was excellent, and Marco was so personable and provided interesting information about the area as we made our way to and through the Italian Alps. He made many stops for photographs and booked us lunch at a restaurant near a small lake. We loved the walk around the lake after lunch! He was also sensitive to the needs of our group that included both children and seniors.
Friendly guide and a good experience

5.00This tour is a MUST. Sadly, I cannot recall our guides name but he made the entire trip such a pleasure. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly and funny. We made a few stops to stretch our legs and take many many photos. We stopped to have lunch and with free time we took a ski chair lift to a restaurant at the top of the lift and took many more photos and had coffee. After the chair lift back down we ate lynx at an advised restaurant and I swear I had the best sandwich I think I have ever had in my life. Super basic. SUPER DELICIOUS. Next we went to Cortina where in 1956 the Winter Olympics were held and went to the site of where the ski jumping competitions were held. In 2026, some of the Winter Games competitions will again be held in Cortina so much work is underway to compete competition there. It was extremely exciting to know the Games are going to be held there, and we were there. I will definitely be watching to see if I can see any sites on TV. The entire area reminds me of Switzerland, the buildings the environment, incredible. A MUST TRIP!!!!!! Again I’m so sorry I cannot recall our guides name, but he made the trip extremely memorable.
