Perfect Trip - Annarita from Cortina Taxi Sci was fantastic! Great communication throughout the journey, she adapted to our flexible plans and even helped us improvise a new route that suited us perfectly. Her knowledge of the area was impressive and added to the overall experience. Highly recommend her services!

Lovely trip across the Dolomites - It was a beautiful experience thanks to Andrea and Annarita. The weather was quite pleasant (luckily). It was interesting to see the varying landscapes (complete white followed by greenery and back to snow...) all along the way and get to know interesting facts about the surrounding region. The road has many twists and turns (as expected in such areas) - just something to keep it mind.
The tour itself was very well organized and executed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a similar experience.

Perfect day seeing the Dolomites - We had a wonderful day touring the Dolomites with this company. The previous day we hiked, so our family was happy to have an easy day. The car was a super clean new Mercedes large suv. Our family of 5 were very comfortable and safe. She had free bottled water and a cool map of the route we traveled. She asked what we wanted to do. We were open to suggestions as this was our first visit to the area. We did a loop tour with stops to ride cable cars to peaks. We stopped in all of these beautiful little villages and scenic spots. The whole day was beautiful and low stress. Annarita our driver guide was excellent. I have nothing negative to say.

The Best Taxi Service ever - On a recent trip to Northern Italy, we engaged the services of Annarita and TaxiCortinaSci. You simply cannot go wrong with this service. Annarita and Andrea make a great team. I simply booked their service via whatsapp and they didn’t even ask for any advance payment against the booking. We arrived at Cortina bus station late in the evening and Andrea was there to pick us up as planned. On time and very responsible. Next day on our trip around the Dolomites started with Annarita and Andrea working in unison. They made sure we cover the best of the region which is simply amazing…one trip is simply not enough to cover all. Overall our first trip to the Dolomites was made more memorable courtesy to Annarita and Andrea. They run the best taxi service.11/10. Very reliable, polite, good humoured, helpful, generous with their time and have excellent vehicles with complimentary water bottles for everyone and great communications. If you are in Cortina, book their Taxi service. You won’t regret it. Highly recommended.

All about the Italian Alps! - Our driver, Devid, was a very pleasant man who drove us with exceptional care around “hundreds” of switch back, hairpin turns!
No words to describe the beauty and majesty of the Italian Alps!
Because we were so wanting to see an alpine lake that was not frozen, (lakes not on this tour), Devid took us a few minutes outside Cortina to see a restaurant on a little lake full of trout!
The only suggestion would be to provide water to clients.
