The views are amazing and Marco was an excellent guide. There was plenty of time given at each stop and the drive has beautiful views along the way. We got back to Venice with plenty of time to still have dinner and walk around the Canal. Highly recommend!
Unique and breathtaking tour through the mountains. Convenient pick up and drop off location. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Memories to last a lifetime. Lots of driving but how else could you see so much of the mountains in one day?
Our tour guide was enthusiastic and caring. She provided detailed information and explanations towards every spots. The scenery was breathtaking, definitely worth a go!
The whole trip was very comfortable, the guide was good, spoke English well (it was a lady) I forgot how to spell her name, she had good driving skills and detailed instructions. I really recommend this trip, especially for those who don't want to hike, after all, because I can't walk. Ha-ha.
Albert was our guide. He was amazing all day! He gave us good information and made sure we had what we needed to get thru the day (water, bathrooms, directions). We got stuck in rain/hail coming back home and he kept us safe. We all enjoyed the tour! This was a highlight of our trip being able to visit this part of Italy. We would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family! Thanks Albert!
Wow, what an amazing adventure. Great for all levels of activity, you choose how strenuous or relaxing. Marco did a great job of guiding us.
Great experience, would recommend to anyone. Cortina and Misurina was our favorite. Miriam was an excellent tour guide!
Wonderful day without guide. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job and that enthusiasm came out in how he conducted the tour. Highly recommend
This tour is a great way to see the Dolomites! We loved visiting Cortina and spending time by Lake Misurina! The paddle boat and chairlift opportunities made the stop by the lake so special, and the views were unbelievable! Highly recommend!
The experience was amazing. Marco really helped us know what to see and do where we stopped. Cortina is lovely. the dolomites were spectacular. We stopped in various places to take pictures. Marco let us know about different activities. I enjoyed everything so so much, especially love the chairlift ride & the restaurant on the top at the lake. we stopped at for 2 1/2 hours. It was just what I needed just the right amount of time everywhere would highly recommend this trip. You won’t be disappointed.!!
