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!

Discover the UNESCO World Heritage site of Dolomites on a 1-day tour. Starting from Verona, after a couple of hours you will begin to enter into Val di Fassa, a wide-open valley surrounded by mountain walls. Be amazed by its breath-taking landscapes and beautiful sceneries and let your guide lead you to Passo Pordoi, a 7345-feet-high pass. Next is an exciting cable car ride to reach the top of the mountain (10,341 feet): a stunning and one-of-a-kind destination for a spectacular panoramic view. Have a walk around for a while and stop at some rifugio (mountain refuge usually serving traditional food) for lunch. Look around and admire the white stones of Marmolada and other mountains. It is an experience you will never forget!

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.

It will be a day of skiing and fun, surrounded by a spectacular landscape to say the least.

We had a wonderful time walking the via ferrata at the stunning cascate di fanes waterfall near Cortina. Our guide Giovanni was great ; very patient, encouraging and instilled a feeling of calm reassurance at all times He assessed our level - beginners- quickly and went at our pace. Never thought we'd do something like this and wanted to do it all over again when we had finished. Grazie Giovanni !

We had a fabulous day touring the Dolomites and seeing the beauty of the region. Alessandro was a wonderful guide and obviously loves the area he works in. The snow mobile was a highlight as was the lovely lunch we had. But overall it was the beauty of the region. Thanks for a great Christmas experience.

It was perfectly organized and Francesco was the best guide you could ask for! They picked us up on time and the bus ride was comfortable and fun. We had enough time to discover Venice on our own but also booked the Laguna Tour which was very interesting. I would highly recommend to bring sun screen or a hat if you go during summer.

Absolute Best Experience while in Europe! After much research, my family booked this tour with Stefan before we left the United States. You never know quite what to expect doing this, but I am SO GLAD we did! Even before the date of the tour, we received communication from Stefan concerning our itinerary and what to expect. Stefan arrived ahead of time at our hotel in Munich, and greeted us with a huge smile, extremely clean automobile, and fresh, cold water for all! He was so open to creating an experience that would fulfill our wishes. Our goal was to not only see Neuschwanstein, but also the local, surrounding communities, traditions, and food. Stefan really delivered! His personal knowledge of the area was incredible. We were able to see Oberammergau, the location of the beautiful Passion Play, as well as the stunning frescos in the village. Stefan also took us to the majestic Ettal Monastery, as well as Wieskirche, the Pilgrimage Church of Wies, all while viewing the gorgeous Alps in the distance. As if this weren't enough to fulfill our day, we headed to Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle, and the surrounding village. It was all so amazing, that our family will never forget the experience! Stefan shared his beautiful home country, while allowing us to select what we would like to experience the most! I wanted to have a picnic this day, near the castle, as a memory we would have forever. Ultimately, Stefan made it happen! We had a wonderful bottle of wine, glasses for all, and Stefan produced local delicacies that we had never had. It was such an amazing closure to a beautiful adventure in Bavaria. As we headed back to our hotel in Munich, Stefan filled the car with polkas, singing, and great, lasting cheer that has sustained us through these trying times of no travel with COVID. We miss our travels, and we will most definitely return to more tours and adventures with Stefan! Thank you for such wonderful memories!
