If you're in Venice spend a day in the Dolomites - The pass to the highest point drivable in the Dolomites just opened and we were able to get there. The scenery of the surrounding lands was unforgetable!

Beautiful driving/walking tour - I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from this excursion but booked it because the other reviews were really good and I’m glad I did! This is a van tour where you drive up to northern Italy to see some of the most beautiful mountains I have ever seen. We went in June and it was a little cold still on some of the mountains so I would dress a little warmer and bring comfortable shoes because you get some time for walking.

Wonderful trip! - Such an excellent trip! Highly recommend you do it to see such a gorgeous part of the world! Was so amazing to see the Dolomites and Stefanii was fabulous and so knowledgeable about the area. She took us to some fantastic photo spots as well and the Lakes Braies was just stunning! Don’t forgot to google the weather though before your trip!

Well Worth It! - The tour was well worth the driving time! Our guide gave us a tour while driving which made it entertaining and fun and she was very friendly and informative! We made multiple stops and had the chance to get coffee in a pretty town in the mountains. We also had time to hike around Lake Braies and get lunch there which was beautiful!!

Totally amazing - Stefanie was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable of all areas and history. The journey itself is absolutely breathtaking. One part of our trip was not available due to weather but stefanie made up for it by stopping in a quaint little town and bought gelato for everyone. I highly recommend this tour to everyone that visits Venice.

Lovely day in the Dolomites - Stephanie ensured we had a lovely day travelling to and spending time in the Dolomites, informing us of interesting facts along the way about the region’s geology, history and current industry and showing us points of interest. Impressive technology and new luxury vehicles made for a comfortable and relaxing day too. The scenery was stunning and colours ever changing.

A Beautiful Day - Stephanie our guide was knowledgeable, had a sense of humor and responded to our requests. This is a beautiful trip and an all day tour. Because of the long hours, I would recommend this as a private tour. There are many areas to stop, walk, and enjoy the view and when you are in a small group you have to stay on a schedule.
