Reviews
Highly recommend this tour package for those who wish to explore the beautiful Dolomites as a daytrip from Venice. Our tour guide, Chiara was friendly and great. She ensured that the itinerary was fulfilled in a timely manner and provided interesting background for each site we visited. In total, the entire tour lasted from 8am-6.30pm including the commute to the sites which can be challenging but our bus driver, Sergei did an amazing job maneuvering the pathway without making anyone sick and loved the relaxing playlist!
Probably one of the best tours I had in Europe, if not the best. The bus ride was comfortable, the tour guide was well knowledged. She gave us ample time on each stop; not too short, not too long, just the right amount of time to explore and appreciate Italy’s hidden gem. This is highly recommended. 1000000/10
The tour guide is a nice and cheerful lady. It was a sunny day so we had a good time. the chairlift is the highlight. There is a restaurant on top after the ride, so you can enjoy some coffee or food during that 2 hrs break. the last stop is a dried out river, not really a lake. it could be replaced by other destinations as there is not much to see.
the tour organised professionally and our guide Chiara was awesome and knowledgeable. For a mountain tour package, the key improvement would be to reduce travel pressure and allow more time at each destination. Mountain tourism is about experiencing the landscape, culture, trails and local environment—not just reaching multiple places. I understand that in one day it is not possible to do all things , rain was also a delay factor.
The view of the Dolomites is amazing, and the guide provides lots of information and history about the place.
If you are short on time but want to visit the Dolomites, this is a great choice. If you take the large bus, you can sit on the right side for better scenery along the way, and the tour guide is enthusiastic and professional!
This is a relaxed itinerary; just get off the bus and follow along. We took the cable car first to go around the lake, and after taking photos, the timing to walk around the lake was perfect. The tour guide sounded hoarse, as if they'd led many groups. Thank you, Katia!
I had a great experience and day tour with my guide Alberto and driver Emanuele. They were both very friendly, helpful and smiley. 😊😊😊 Alberto is very clear in explaining and introducing the places of attraction to us. And he do make conversations most parts of our journey to make connections with the group. Excellent service, keep it up, Alberto and Emanuele! Thank you for making my day and day tour an awesome experience! 💖💖
It is truly very beautiful, and there was enough time to stay at every place. I also took some gorgeous photos. I really loved this trip.
The itinerary was rich and varied, and the tour guide was witty and humorous.
