It can definitely be affected by the weather, but no matter it was worth it. !!!! Be prepared for it to get cold. Our guide, Alessandro, was incredible. He made adjustments for the weather and we had great views and picture opportunities. He absolutely made the experience. His knowledge of the area, history, and driving skills and patience were beyond expectations. A truly once in a lifetime experience.

Best Tour

Carol_D, Mar 2026
Alex is amazing! He got in touch with me immediately after making the reservation and stayed in communication until our tour. Alex is first rate number 1. He knows the Dolomites and will adjust your schedule accordingly should the weather conditions change and you still won’t miss out because there is so much to see. Alex is fun and engaging and allows just enough time at each spot. This was probably one of our favorite tours and that’s a big thanks to Alex.

Fantastic Dolomites

Herlene_B, Jul 2022
Alex was phenomenal, as experienced travelers who use tours- Alex was by far the best! He was punctual, organized and coordinated the perfect day. Alex also provides historical information about the sites, which adds to the experience. This is our first time to the region and we highly recommend the private tour. The price is worth it as it eliminates the hassle of crowds, timing or parking. His tour is worth every penny!
