“Trip was great. Miriam was our driver and guide and she did a great job at both. Driving those mountain rides was crazy. She was very knowledgeable about what there was to see/do in each of our stops. The van was very comfortable. Only suggestion I have is the directions told us to look for an orange umbrella but there was no orange umbrella. Since everyone in the group seemed to be looking for the umbrella we felt comfortable that we were not left behind”

“I can not say enough beautiful things about this trip. From the initial contact with the tour operator to discuss a question I had prior to booking to the handshake at the end Christiano made us feel like part of his family. Do yourselves a favor and book this trip instead of semi-private or private. The tour was in a small beautiful bus good for about 40 people and there was maybe 20 to 24 max in the group. The stops are managed as if you were in a private group. The guide gives you an orientation of the area and a meeting time and place to go on to…”

“Planning a tour in a place one has never been can be very challenging, especially when the tour will cover a large area and it is located several hours from the place one is staying. Vera was very responsive and communicated well throughout our experience. The vehicle was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Dani is not only an excellent driver, but we found him to be very nice, friendly, informative, and easy to chat with. We love being with someone that clearly loves what they do and Dani certainly does. The Dolomites are quite spectacular. Listening to the audio prior to each stop was very helpful. The allotted time for…”

Climb a guided Dolomites via ferrata from Cortina with expert instruction, dramatic views, flexible routes, and practical safety support.
“The guide is named Marco and helped facilitate a fun and safe first via ferrata experience! I have 10+ years of mountain climbing but was still appreciative of his orientation before we started climbing. At first we were linked together with rope and a fail-safe for the two carabiners, and then permitted to remove our attachment to the rope if comfortable. The Via Ferrata we did was an A-C grade (easier side of scale) but plenty fun and mentally engaging for a Ferrata newbie. I would not hesitate to book with Marco again.”

“We had a great experience with our guide Simone. He was knowledgeable about so many different places (he's been working as a guide for years in so many different locations it was great to just talk to him in general.) Unfortunately, it was a bit rainy for our trip to the Dolomites. However, it was still well worth our while going. Just make sure you check the weather before going on this trip. Both the days directly before and after we went it was warm and sunny in the Dolomites. However, on our trip it was in the 50's (Fahrenheit) and as I said rainy. Just make sure you dress…”
