Expert travel guide. Offered insight to the towns we passed through and stopped at. Allowed adequate free time to explore. Traveled with my daughter who is 22 and her best friends who equally enjoyed the majestic of the area.

Dolomites Feedback
The enjoyment of this tour will depend on the weather you are presented with on the day. We had very low cloud and visibility which prevented us actually experiencing the views we had paid for.

Great introduction to the Dolomites. If you have never been, do it.
It was a quick getaway to the mountains from Venice. In an hour we were into the pretty pre alps and then another hour into the Dolomites proper which are stunning and even more beautiful than the Alps in my opinion. We enjoyed the views. Our driver knew the area well, made impromptu stops for pictures and some for a brief background history before he would drive to our stop. We spent time in Cortina and then at Motrin’s lake at the foot of the Tre Cema de Lavaredo park for lunch. There was ample time to walk around the lake after lunch. The views across the lake in every direction were amazing. Then we stopped in Auronzo to look at another beautiful lake. And then for our final stop we stopped in Longarone for some yummy ice cream.

Long drive
This was a great trip, it was so cold and snowy which I didn’t mind but it did cause our trip to be modified as some things were not open. Our tour guide was friendly and informative.
