As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.
2. From Bolzano: Private daily Tour - The most beautiful Trekking in the Dolomites
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
There are a few summits that have come to symbolise the word “mountain”. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo would certainly top an imaginary hit list of these. Many people have seen the Tre Cime in illustrations hundreds of times and think that they know them, but the moment you see them "in nature" is a moment not to be forgotten. This proposal is circular and unforgettable hike around the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. Back in the afternoon on the famous and panoramic "Great Dolomites Road".

The best guided tour I have ever been on was at the Normandy beaches. The tour cost us $550. divided among three of us. This tour of the Dolomites seems to be of equal quality. Good and better than good. BUT is it worth the price mentioned? Only those willing to pay your exhorbitant prices will be able to take the tour...which I would like to do as my father was born in Falcade in the midst of that area. The tour guide may be the nicest most informed person on the face of the earth, but the The Great Dolomites Road tour is way too expensive!

My husband and I did the private Online Fresh Pasta and Tiramisù Cooking Class today and it was simple incredible. It was our first cooking class of any kind and it was perfect. So well paced, easy to follow along, and fun! It felt so natural at times I forgot we were on Zoom. Definitely recommend, and would do it again.

We will ski through stunning slopes and amazing scenery, seeing 4 different valleys.With the skis on, we have the opportunity to reach the famous après-ski El Murin, where we can enjoy great drinks and good music. At the end of the day I’ll drive you back to Cortina. In total, 40 kilometres of tours await, 26 kilometres of those offer pure skiing.

Depending on the level of the group we can choose between adrenaline black slopes or easier intermediate slopes. The minimum number is 2 people and the maximum is 6.

The 5 torri area is simply amazing, and giulia knows the best panoramic spots for sure! She is really friendly and helpful, her tips to improve our technique were really useful. The lunch on the sunny terrace was great. From there you can see cortina and also the other part of the valley, which is Passo Giau. Thank you giulia! Will do it again next time for sure!
