5.00Diego was an excellent guide who shared lots of interesting information about the region, Italian culture, and our stops. There were lots of photo stops along the way and he planned the stops around the inclement weather, which allowed us to maximize our experience.

5.00This trip was an amazing day. After many days of walking around cities and touring churches it was great to get out of the city and into the mountains. Our driver Cristiano was friendly, funny, and very attentive. He made a lot of great stops and told us the history of the Dolomites from the culture of the people, the Alpine architecture, the industry (glasses manufacturers, hydro electric dam). He took extra care to make sure everyone had great photos and took probably 10-20 pictures of everyone that asked. We had a lovely lunch with some of the other tour members at a mountain lake as well as a stroll. The tour is not strenuous and I probably walked the least this day than any other. The ride out of the city and back in was perfect for a snooze. Thanks for a great day!!!
