About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- V3503GWmichaelm0 contributionsChoose Alex and his Dolomites Tour!!Alex made our visit to the Dolomites more than an amazing memory. Beginning with his fun personal connection and conversation- to his great knowledge of the towns, villages and destinations. He made each stop special with helpful tips and advice- especially at the Sass Pordoi - where we took the cable car up the mountain- it was very cloudy but moving- he suggested to sit down for lunch immediately- we did, and 15 minutes later it began to rain, it was soon packed in the restaurant- we finished lunch and it cleared up giving us great vista views and nice hiking. I am sure there are other guides, and tours… I would tell you to choose this one and skip any others - he is well worth it!Written September 1, 2024
- bjbkinsella0 contributionsBest Driver Guide EvetGreeted by our guide Alessandro (Alex) with a wide smile and contagious positive personality. What a great start. As we drive out of Bolzano Alex explained to us the days agenda. About an hour in we stopped by a small lake we walked around. Perfect stretch of the legs with beautiful vista of the Dolomites. We proceeded up 27 switchbacks to a gondola. Understanding these are very thin roads…Alex deftly handled the driving keeping us all confident and comfortable. Once up the gondola we did short hikes with unbelievable gorgeous views! We came back on a gorgeous road and it was an amazing day!! The star of the show was Alex. He was funny, informative, and super accommodating. When he drove away I realized I was going to miss him!! Highly recommended!!!Written September 1, 2024
- Michael M0 contributionsThe gateway city to the DolomitesBolzano is a historic city and the gateway to the Dolomites. It is beautiful and walkable. Many attractions, good food and wine.Written June 29, 2024
- Susan J0 contributionsVery personal and special tour in the dolomitesWe can’t say enough good things about our tour with Alessandro in the dolomites. He did an exceptional job showing us this magnificent part of northern Italy. It was not easy for him that day because the weather was a bit rainy, so some sites were not as visible as we all would’ve liked. But he made up for this with all of his interesting stories, Friendly personality, beautiful towns, and magnificent lakes. It was also easy to reserve the trip with him online, and our correspondence was excellent.Written June 27, 2024
- Q5200GQannettem0 contributionsA truly amazing experience with a great guide & driverWe recently enjoyed a full day excursion from Bolzano up into the magnificent Dolomites. Our guide & driver Alessandro Scacchetti collected us at our front door at 8.30am and delivered us safely back after 5.00 pm. He tailored the tour to suit the changing weather of the day and in doing so we were blessed with some extraordinary views. Alessandro is passionate and knowledgeable and a local of Bolzano and we were privileged to be in his company. We highly recommend Alessandro and the excellent service he provides.Written June 21, 2024
- neil22520140 contributionsEnchanting place to base a trip to DolomitesBolzano must be one of the most under rated places in Italy as a tourist destination. It is the listed as the gateway to the Dolomites and certainly lives up to that tag. The town is enchanting and is a natural hub to all the Dolomites have to offer. Bus system is great and enables visits to nearby destinations with ease. There is plenty to see and do - I am talking about hiking and sight seeing v skiing. Plenty to do.Written May 17, 2024
- V2330XMjeffreyt0 contributionsReliable GuideAlessandro was very easy to deal with. He called me on whats app several times to discuss our trip. His driver was waiting for us at the Venice airport to pick us up and take us to our hotel. He also dropped us at the Bolzano airport when we left. Even if you have your own car I do not think you would want to drive yourself. He have us a comprehensive tour of the eastern and western Dolomites. We were with him for 2 full days on 2 different tours We had a very good time and felt as if we saw a lot. The only 2 negatives were as follows. He does not take credit cards and only takes euros in cash. However his fees were the most reasonable for the time of any agencies I contacted. Unlike other guides we had he does not give continued commentary but rather did better when we asked frequent questions. I would recommend him.Written November 4, 2023

Four of us had a fabulous day seeing the sights of the Dolomites with Alex. Alex is very professional, an excellent driver (I had my doubts beforehand about the hairpin bends as I'm a nervous passenger but I had no cause for concern with Alex's driving) and his car is extremely comfortable. Alex is knowledgeable about his home region and the information he shared was interesting. This tour was a little pricey for us given our current exchange rate, but we could not fault it, and it was definitely worth the money to get such a great overview of the Dolomites in just a day. Very highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

This tour has been one of the best experiences of our lives! We were a group of three students studying in Italy who wanted to experience the dolomites. Even before we met, Alessandro was friendly and accommodating over emails and texts, and swiftly organised a tour on our preferred date.
The moment we met Alessandro early in the morning, he was immediately friendly and approachable. While the weather was far from ideal, his optimism was absolutely contagious and this really reassured us and set the tone for what was to come that day. As we drove out of Bolzano into the picturesque mountains, his knowledge and passion for this area was evident straight away - telling us about the history, about the recent tornadoes affecting the land, he knew every name of everything and also entertained us with the many stories during his time as a guide. However, throughout the tour, he'd also know exactly when to let us get some rest or when to give us some down time as we drove from location to location.
Alessandro's driving was absolutely flawless, having driven for many years, and as someone who suffers from car sickness, I could not have asked for a smoother ride despite the windy bends and steep inclines. He also had at the ready anything we might've needed including travel sickness gum, umbrellas, extra coats, bottles of water, which were all very useful especially on that cold rainy day!
Despite the amount of landmarks we had to fit in one day, we never felt rushed, and it was completely up to us how long we wanted to spend in each area, and even for the routes we took, Alessandro gave us plenty of options and flexibility. He also had a book on the animals of the area, a photo book showing the locations we were at in different seasons and climates, and some incredible artifiacts from the dolomites which I will not spoil in this review!
I cannot recommend Alessandro and this tour more if you'd like to see the Dolomites, though we did not have access to car rental to drive around for ourselves, I would choose this experience everytime! The tour enhances all the sights you see and completely immerses you into the beauty of this incredible region.
Grazie mille Alessandro, è stato un grande piacere e spero di rivederti!

When a tour guide has a great sense of humor and has passion for what they are showing it makes for a great time.
The wrong guide can ruin a trip and the right guide makes even a mediocre trip memorable.
We had the best of both. Take the cable car to the top for breathtaking views. Alessandro is knowledgeable and brings the area to life. For an added bonus be sure to ask Alessandro to show you some of the more fascinating animals to be found in the Dolomites, including the feared Chupa Sangre :)
We very highly recommend Alessandro as the best of the best in terms of private tours in the Dolomites.

The entire trip was more than perfectly organized and extremely well-conducted by a very friendly and well-structured guide named Alessandro. Everything was very safe and informative and Alessandro is just the guide to book for the Dolomites. Alessandro taught us a lot and he used every single minute to share his knowledge. He was also very entertaining by sharing many interesting facts and stories as well as unusual and astonishing anecdotes. However, he also gave us enough time to spend on our own, but he was always there to help and to instruct or to inform. We would say you would not be able to get any better guide than Alessandro. We will definitely do more trips with him in the future.

My husband and I took the "Private panoramic tour in auto Il meglio delle Dolomiti in un solo giorno" tour and we were very satisfied. It was a very good tour with beautiful scenery. Our guide, Matteo, was excellent, very attentive, polite, drove carefully and securely, and had a lot of knowledge of the region and of points of interest. He showed us and explained all the interesting aspects of the route we took, and seemed to be striving to give us the best experience.
He left us at ease to make the most of it and take beautiful photos. It couldn't be better. I recommend this tour!

Alessandro is a stellar professional, fantastic driver and tour guide. He gave us a superb tour experience of the Dolomites based on our custom made preferences. He has deep and profound knowledge of the whole area, offering great insight and details. The tour planning and execution was excellent. As he is a sophisticated person, he really knows what is suitable for his clients and also provided us with absolutely not-to-miss recommendations for Bolzano. We truly recommend this private tour as one of the must things to do when in the area as it is a compact, fun and exciting way to discover the Dolomites.

This full day tour of the Dolomites was a "high-point" of our trip to Italy!
Alessandro provided much knowledge and love of the Dolomites, and was
able to share so much information about the area as he escorted us through
the beautiful mountains.
He was very willing to allow us the time to do photography in the areas we
were most interested in, and even was able to pick us up at our hotel.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to experience the Dolomites
in a comfortable, safe and informative tour, with a friendly, knowledgable escort!!

Absolutely fantastic day spent being toured round the Dolomites by Alessandro. My friend and I were overwhelmed when trying to sort an itinerary for our Dolomites trip and this trip provided an excellent overview of the highlights and provided lots of inspiration for trips back in the future. Alessandro was knowledgable about so many different subjects - history of the region, the geography, the best places to eat and drink and went out of his way to ensure we were at each stop for the best time to avoid queues and crowds. 10/10 recommendation. The next time I’m back in Italy I’ll be going straight to Alessandro for his advice and tour guiding!

Alex is a great tour guide who made a good suggestion for us to change the date of tour due to bad weather. Eventually, we enjoyed both eastern and western tours in perfect weather conditions so that we can see the best of Dolomities. Highly recommended!

Our group of 4 was blessed with an excellent trip to the Dolomites from our base at Bolzano with Alex. Alex met us punctually in our hostel and gave us a good explanation of the area that we were in and was about to see.
Upon seeing the temperature dropping and the condition of the road, he offered us choices of whether to continue up the slope ( where he explained may not offer no clear views of the dolomites ) or to proceed to a Christmas market. With his assurance that with snow chaining the wheels we could move on in that condition we chose to move on. He parked his car at a safe place to put on the chains while we had a coffee break. All 4 of us agreed that the trip was made much safer with his confident and cautious driving skills. We saw many cars stuck along the way, with drivers having to put on chains on their wheels at sub-zero temperature mid way along the winding road. We knew then that our driver- guide is an experienced driver in extreme conditions to know to pre-empt that the road condition would turn worse. Although we did not see the peaks that were covered by the cloudy sky and snow, we were very happy to enjoy the snowing scenes in the 2 lakes he brought us to and the 2 little towns. The lunch place which he recommended was also great. Food was good and the price was great too. Along the way, Alex offered his views about Italy’s history and social situations and we shared some exchanges of opinions about the world we live in. We learnt much from his views. He is definitely more than a tourist guide. We are all impressed with his knowledge of the dolomites, Italy as well as other parts of the world including where we come from. It was one of the best days in our 3 weeks long holiday to Italy. We highly recommend Alex’s Guiding services to the Dolomites.
