Highly Recommend
Definitely worth it. We only had a short time in Venice so this was the perfect opportunity to see the Dolomites. Our tour guide Francesco was great - knowledgeable, friendly, and helped share the history. The Dolomites are beautiful and this is a great way to see them.

Great 1 day trip to the Dolomites
I'll start off by saying that this is a great trip if you want to see the Dolomites in 1 day. You get to see some of the lakes as well which are very beautiful. The guide was very nice and did a great job driving. The AC in the van was good but didn't quite cool the van down enough despite being on max. The trip itself feels rushed as there is a lot of driving involved getting to the different spots. The tour group was great and can't fault them for anything. Only problem is just the logistics and the amount of driving.

We were so glad we took this all day tour up to the Dolomites!
Beautiful day out of the city and into the mountains. Our tour guide Marcos took great care of us. We had a very comfortable van of 8 people. The drive was beautiful and educational. Experiencing the Dolomites after two days in the city was so revitalizing and beautiful. It’s a unique mountain range and is well worth the time and money to go visit and see for yourself the beauty and diversity of Italy.

Great trip away from Venice
Great experience and getaway from Venice for a day. Our small group had a total of 8 people, so perfect for getting around and seeing as much as possible without waiting for others.
