This was hands down the best tour we have ever taken and was the highlight of our two weeks in Europe. Alessandro Scacchetti was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, a super safe driver on the crazy winding roads, and gave us a once in a lifetime experience seeing the Dolomites for the first time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GUIDE, you won't be disappointed.

Our guide was Angelo and I can't give him enough praise. His knowledge of the unique geology was complete and his love of the area insured a completely enjoyable experience. Also, the Get Your Guide experience was excellent.

What a great experience we had seeing the major highlights of Dolomites. Alessandro , our tour guide, was very accommodating and not rushed. Will definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful places, Guido, the guide is a very good connoisseur of the area who knew how to perfectly adapt the times to the objectives. A nice experience!
