The price of a good tour
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!

Thanks for your review and we are pleased to know that you enjoyed the tour: as regards the price, it is necessary to consider that it is a private excursion with a guide / driver and a car available for the duration of the tour. We realize that it is not an affordable price for everyone but we prefer to offer a high-level private excursion rather than a group tour. Thanks again for your comment!

One of my favorite tours of all time!
Couples
My husband and I took this tour on July 4th, 2018 during our stay in Schenna and it was, without a doubt, an excellent decision. I booked this tour months in advance, and thank god I did because each tour is completely private. Our tour guide was Alex. I contacted him the day before through whatsapp and he immediately replied back so communication was excellent. It was also anticipated to rain on the day of our tour so Alex was gracious enough to pick us up 1 hour early as a way to make the most of our day before the rain. The tour actually states that the meet up is in Bolzano but he had no problem picking us up from Schenna, which is like 25-30 min away. Once he arrived, he immediately showed us his map and asked us how we wanted to do the trip... "would you like to see Lake Bries first which is considered the most famous or start of with a more hidden gem, Lake carezza?" We appreciated that he cared to give us the best tour possible so we went with his suggestion of Lake Carezza. The tour was just with us and him. He keeps it completely private which I appreciated. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the dolomites and answered many of our questions. Alex understood that I had a love for lakes so he stopped at 2 more lakes then what is advertised on the tour (so a total of 5 lakes). We greatly appreciated that. Overall, this was an incredible tour and I would strongly suggest everyone to consider taking it, especially if you are in the dolomites without car. You will see the best of the dolomites and you'll be going through roads that you might not otherwise use if you are unfamiliar with the territory. It was a lovely trip and we are so happy to taken it with Alex as our tour guide.

All the photos I've posted are my personal photos through an iPhone. The photo of Lake Carezza looks like a painting but I assure you that the lake is truly that beautiful. If the reader has even a bit of hesitancy, please do not be afraid to DM me with any questions. This tour is worth the cost. You will have a great 8-10 hours.

Exhilarating and friendly tour
Wow. What a great experience.
We did this tour from Venice. It is a little out of the way for Alex, but it was no trouble to be picked up and driven into the heart of the Dolomites. Alex was a most knowledgeable and attentive guide.
He spoke good English, and helped us get the most out of our day.
We were lucky to see a good sprinkling of late snow, and were captivated by the beauty of the lakes and landscapes.
He took special care when one of our party was a little motion sick.
Thank you Alex for a great day. We wish you all the best.
We would highly recommend this tour with Alex.

Overcast but still a great tour.
Alex is an excellent tour guide who knows the area well including history and culture. The day was unfortunately overcast but with Alex's encouragement, I took the tram up the mountain and the view from the top was spectular. The top of the mountain was above the clouds and in the sun shine. You looked out onto a see of clouds with the mountain peaks rising up out of the clouds into the blue sky. Amazing.

I'm really happy that you could experience this rare experience of the ocean of clouds downstream while the sun shone at 10,000 feet ... They are natural phenomena that happen very rarely! A hug from the Dolomites! Alessandro (Alex)

What a fantastic day we had
Friends
We booked the Great Dolomites Road tour and it was fantastic! Alessandro is a very experienced driver and a very knowledgeable guide. He made us feel very comfortable and took us to beautiful places as described in the tour listing, with all the time needed with no rush. The weather at the time was very variable and Alessandro assisted us in choosing the right day and the right tour. If we go back to Bolzano we will definitely book another tour with ItalyDolomites and Alessandro.

Wonderful day!
Alessandro drove our group of six (including three teenagers) through some of the most stunning scenery any of us have ever witnessed. He was a perfect tour guide. He suggested an earlier start time to avoid rain that was forecast for the afternoon, and reorganized our route to avoid the crowds of high season. His timing was impeccable: it rained briefly while we were driving but was otherwise fine for our walks, and we beat the crowds everywhere we went. He brought us to many beautiful places but let us determine the length of time we would stay in each. A particularly thoughtful touch was providing water and warm jackets. Alessandro was very considerate of everyone’s comfort in the car, letting us know we could stop at any time if the hairpin turns became too much to take. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the South Tyrol area and answered our many questions with good humor, and even provided dining recommendations for Bolzano after the tour. I can’t recommend his tours highly enough. If any of us in our group ever have the good fortune to be in Bolzano again we would absolutely book his services for another outing. Thanks so much, Alex, for providing us with such a memorable experience!

Yes, it's a bit expensive, but worth every penny. Alex was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great day exploring the Dolomites with him. This is definitely the way to make the most of a trip to the Dolomites when you only have a short time to see the area.

This was a great tour even though the weather wasn't what we had hoped for. Alex is knowledgeable and friendly, has very good English and got us to all the right places. The Dolomites are amazing and this is an area that everyone should try to see.
