One of the Most Beautiful Places We've Ever Seen - Stephanie was a great guide. She gave us a lot of information about the Dolomites and the surrounding region throughout the day and gave us plenty of time to take photos and enjoy ourselves. April is a little early to fully enjoy the Dolomites, but there are also fewer people. Despite some of the lakes being frozen still, Stephanie made sure to take us to some that were not frozen. She also adjusted the itinerary to take us to the tallest point in the Dolomites, which was amazing. We also really enjoyed our lunch at an agroturismo in the area. Since the area is about 7 miles from Austria the food is more German than Italian so it was a different cultural experience than the rest of our trip, which we loved. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Stunning views - Beautiful views.
Stephania was a wonderful guide.
The view from the top of the Dolomites was great.
It was nice to experience from the bottom and ride to the top near the snow.
We kept on time and the guide has very nice clean cars.

Wonderful Dolomite mountains tour - Stefania, was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. As well as getting to know all of us. She gave us great info and historical facts about where we were going as well as places along the way. The three lakes we saw in the dolomite mountains were beautiful stops. She gave us plenty of time at each to walk around, take pictures and have a nice lunch at Lake Brais. And Maya was a wonderful cohost companion. I highly recommend this tour for visiting the dolomites. Also liked that the tour group was small so that everyone was included in the tour.

A great day out. - The scenery is magnificent. The guide , Stephanie, was excellent. She gave us lots of information along the way, did not rush us and gave us opportunities to take photos along the way. She also shared her power bank with me when my phone ran out of power. 👍

Highly Recommended - Stephania was a great guide with a terrific personality who made this tour an unbelievable experience! It is a long day but the feeling of awe over the breathtaking scenery and the (additional but a AMAZING addon) snow mobile ride made it worth it.
Stephania's local knowledge and sense of humour had everyone enthralled.

A great day in the Italian Alps - Stefania was a great guide! She tailored the day according to the weather so we could still do the snowmobile ride to the top of the mountain and we got to sled down the bottom too. Had a lovely break at Lake Braies to wander and have lunch. Also made additional short stops to take in the sights at another lake, see more Tre Clim views and get a bit of history. Can’t recommend this tour enough! It was a great day!
