Nice relaxing tour

Weather was not in our favor in the morning, very rainy and low cloud cover made it hard to see any peaks. Our guide took this into consideration and spent the morning sharing history of the area and gave us time in Cortina to explore and shop. The weather cleared up in the afternoon and the views were amazing. The entire day was relaxing and enjoyable.

We would do this again should we return to Italy.

The Dolomites are one of those sites that pictures will never do justice. If you love mountains, it’s an experience to be remembered. Our guide Francesco was wonderfully available but never overwhelming. A pleasure to share the tour with.
