4.00This is a great trip in terms of scenery, it’s beautiful and the only reason I’m giving 4 stars. What was less pleasing was the guide’s personal commentary which was constant, about his time spent in America. I learnt more about that than the actual places we were visiting. The itinerary was also swapped around as it suited the driver and whilst I appreciate it wasn’t high season yet, we should have been given the option to be dropped off to walk around one of the lakes and forego time ample spent in a restaurant for lunch. A sandwich would have sufficed for those wanting more activity. Cortina was pointless and we could have skipped this entirely. I would recommend this experience if you perhaps didn’t have this driver - he definitely was not a guide in any way, shape or form.
Weather matters!!

4.00The weather was a factor in our trip. Rain and clouds prevented us from seeing all the sites. Our guide was fine and tried to take us places to see some of the area despite the conditions.
Delightful Dolomites

5.00Marco was a phenomenal guide, providing entertaining stories about the surrounding area as well as his own life growing up in Italy. The tour itself was well worth the price with amazing views of the dolomites and walking amongst the foothills.
