5Worth every penny
The highlight of our trip. Beautiful towns, breathtaking views, clean air, and a wonderful tour guide.
5A Whole Day of Scenery, Exploring & Learning
We loved this tour. It is a whole-day experience. If the weather is bad, you won't see much of the Dolomites, but definitely still worth going as there's so much to see and do. Marco, our guide, was excellent. From the minute he met with us, he felt like an old friend who was showing us around. He was fun, knowledgeable and considerate, and always checked in with each of us to see if we were enjoying ourselves. Unfortunately, we had bad weather, but that didn't matter. We got the full experience and had so much fun. Don't hesitate to book this tour, we had a great day. Thanks Marco!
5Spectacular Dolomites Tour
This was such a spectacular tour. Cristiano shared interesting facts about the regions we passed through and the ones we visited. He was attentive to our needs, very professional and hospitable. The views were absolutely breathtaking and we were very fortunate to have great weather. This was a perfect introduction to the Dolomites and now we would like to return to the Dolomites to spend more days exploring and hiking, and we will definitely call Cristiano to guide us in these treks. Thank you for a memorable day!

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
