AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT TRE CIME - I'm not sure where to begin! My husband and I booked Elisa to take us on a private hike to Tre Cime. Elisa was AMAZING! It was so easy to communicate with her. She responded promptly to all emails and text messages. In all dealings with Elisa, she was professional, extremely knowledgable and so friendly! We had originally arranged to do the Tre Cime hike at 8:00 am and then decided it was best to do it at 7:00 am. However, two days before the hike, she sent me a message offering a number of time slots given that the weather was calling for rain in the morning. She suggested that we do the hike around 10:00 am as the weather was expected to clear up by then. We heeded her advise and we were so glad we did! Once we got to Tre Cime, the weather had cleared up and it turned out to be a beautiful day for a hike. Also, the day before our hike, she had sent me a message to dress in layers and to weather proof clothing (she must've been very astute because we are not highly experienced trekkers!). She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. At the commencement of the hike, Elisa provided hiking poles which came in very handy. Elisa took the time to take photos of us. She was just a joy to do the hike with! She spoke English very well and was just so nice! We would HIGHLY recommend Elisa and we are indebted to her for showing us the beauty of the Dolomites!!!

Mondeval Peace - Elisa was an attentive hostess... allowing us the time to either speed up or slow down. Her knowledge of the region was top notch... pointing out every mountain peak by name and trail by its direction. We had our lunch at the lake at Mondeval region (Passo Giau start). Crowded area near the restaurant but we took the A1 route/436 for several miles. Rocky and lots of elevation changes but the most spectacular views!!! Thank you for your guidance... :)

Weekend in a tent - Crazy adventure in a tent! Two days to go around the Civetta, on paths that are sometimes a little challenging. But thanks to the experience of the guide and his help I always felt safe! We spent the night in a fabulous place, saw lots of stars and walked some great trails.

Picturesque hike in the snow - We did two hikes with Elisa and the experience was amazing! Elisa is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and looks out for us. She's also a good photographer. We are happy we found her and booked her for our short trip there. She fetched us to and fro from our accommodation and provided crampons which we appreciated very much. Our hikes were possible because of Elisa!

Amazing Experience w/ Elisa - Don't hesitate to book! - I recommend greatly to book a hiking experience with Elisa. My (now) fiancee and I are avid hikers but I was a bit overwhelmed with the options of hikes offered at Dolomites. And since this is our first time hiking in an area we are unfamiliar with, we decided to get a hiking guide. Elisa has been extremely friendly, flexible, communicative & transparent from the beginning.
We left it to her to pick a hike for us after giving her some details of what we wanted - a long hike about an average of 10 miles with beautiful views. And our fitness level was able to handle hikes of moderate-challenging but not too much. We also wanted a hike that was away from all the tourists known hikes and more. We left it to her to pick the perfect hike for us based on our needs & we went in totally blind and it was the best part of our trip in Italy.
First, Elisa does offer to pick you up with her car if you do not have a ride but we already did. The night prior, she gave us a meeting point to meet up and the time. When we did meet, I already had hiking poles but my fiancee didn't - so she offered him a pair of poles that he used. And if you don't have hiking poles and you're going to trek for a bit, definitely either bring hiking poles or take her offer of using it. They helped us greatly.
Not only was the hike itself was beautiful in every mile of the way (average of 12 miles completed) but it was practically private for us 80% of the time. We did not see other people until the last few miles of our hike and it was only a small handful. We were given the option to of a 1.5-2 hour detour to summit and we immediately said yes. And not only we had that summit to ourselves, but we got engaged on that summit! Elisa recorded the whole thing for us and it is a memory that we are truly treasuring.
She took some beautiful pictures of us too throughout the hike and was very patient when I needed some breaks navigating through all the inclines. We have already planned to pick 3 or 4 of the photos that she has taken of us and have it printed on canvases so we can hang it around the house.
We cannot recommend her enough. When we are back, we'll definitely be reaching out to her again. She made the hike very personal and private for us and it was such a special moment for us. Hiking the Dolomites and being engaged at the summit was a dream come true but better & we would not have such a private, personable and amazing experience if it was not for her guide and expertise. Thank you again Elisa! Hoping to reconnect with you soon once we are back and thank you for capturing our engagement.
So do not hesitate and just book with her. You will be in great hands. The value of what we got was beyond more than we expected and we expected a lot. She will take you to hikes that are probably not well known on social media if you ask for it and it will be 110% worth it.

Fantastic Dolomites Hiking Experience - Our guide was awesome. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the entire region and was spot on with customizing the hike according to our ability. I would say we even pushed a little bit considering how we felt the next day, but at the time, it was just right. Options to vary during the hike were greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend anyone of any experience level to book with her! Weather permitting, you won't be disappointed.

A stunning experience - Elisa was a fantastic guide who provided us with the opportunity to walk one of her favourite trails in the Dolomites.
As keen hikers, it's great to have a local expert who know the tracks and weather conditions to guide you through what was one of the most stunning walks we've had the pleasure to have done.
I could not recommend this more highly!
