Very personal and special tour in the dolomites - We can’t say enough good things about our tour with Alessandro in the dolomites. He did an exceptional job showing us this magnificent part of northern Italy. It was not easy for him that day because the weather was a bit rainy, so some sites were not as visible as we all would’ve liked. But he made up for this with all of his interesting stories, Friendly personality, beautiful towns, and magnificent lakes. It was also easy to reserve the trip with him online, and our correspondence was excellent.

A truly amazing experience with a great guide & driver - We recently enjoyed a full day excursion from Bolzano up into the magnificent Dolomites. Our guide & driver Alessandro Scacchetti collected us at our front door at 8.30am and delivered us safely back after 5.00 pm. He tailored the tour to suit the changing weather of the day and in doing so we were blessed with some extraordinary views. Alessandro is passionate and knowledgeable and a local of Bolzano and we were privileged to be in his company. We highly recommend Alessandro and the excellent service he provides.

Enchanting place to base a trip to Dolomites - Bolzano must be one of the most under rated places in Italy as a tourist destination. It is the listed as the gateway to the Dolomites and certainly lives up to that tag. The town is enchanting and is a natural hub to all the Dolomites have to offer. Bus system is great and enables visits to nearby destinations with ease. There is plenty to see and do - I am talking about hiking and sight seeing v skiing. Plenty to do.

A fantastic trip - My tour guide, Alex, is fantastic. His travel plan is well executed. He patiently explains to us different scenes. We even talk about a bit history, culture and Italian opera. We very much enjoy this daily trip!

Worth knowing! - The city is cute! There is a street market with local foods and it is also surrounded by the Dolomites.
It was a very pleasant experience.

Highly recommend, wonderful experience - The tour was gorgeous, mountains and lakes and valleys are breath taking. Beyond that though, Alessandro is an excellent guide and extremely accommodating. His flexibility and guidance during the tour was welcome given the inclement weather, which he was very on top of. He helped us make decisions based on which stops would be best when due to visibility and rain.
Additionally he was open to doing the trip in reverse due to where we were staying which made our entire trip much easier.
Extremely pleasant, very informative/knowledgable about the history of the area, and a great driver as well. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking - We spent an incredible day with Alessandro touring the eastern Dolomites! He picked us up in the city centre close to our Airbnb in a Mercedes Benz Vito that was stocked with everything we might need - bottles of water, extra jackets, car sickness medicine. Everything we did was totally tailored to us and what we wanted out of our tour - whether we wanted to spend 5 minutes in each location or over an hour, make rest/car sickness stops, food breaks, etc., Alessandro made it happen.
We visited in November, which is the low season, so we were very fortunate to have most locations to ourselves. Alessandro knows an incredible amount of information about his Dolomites and did everything in his power to make sure we could see them from the best vantage points possible. We also felt completely safe with his expert driving as he clearly knows the roads of the mountains like the back of his hand.
I highly recommend taking this tour with Alessandro and we would absolutely take any of his other tours in the future. I’ve not come across many guides like him who cares so deeply about what he does and the experiences he provides to his clients. For me, his tour was the highlight of our trip.
