Dolomites Full-day Tour from Lake Garda

This one of the best views your see on a trip only reason it only gets 4 stars is it took 5 hours from Salo to get to the peak of the Dolomites, (2sjort stops on way plus 12 pick ups) then the cable car. Guide & driver were great on the day definatley a trip any one will enjoy.

Long day . Picked up at Garda bus station at 7:30 and returned at 6:30 pm but we’ll worth it . Guide was great . Recommend going up in cable car . Stunning views at the top . Plenty stops for time to yourself . Villages in the valleys also stunning . Would definitely go back

I booked this excursion far in advance and I'm sure glad I was able to make it. The Dolomites were all I expected and pleased to see them. Although it was an 11 hour trip, there would be no other way to visit. Thankfully we were picked up directly in front of our hotel along with seven others in Peschiera. The guide, Anna, was very informative and professional. I cannot even try to remember all the information we were given. The driver, Bruno, was exceptional. He took the wheel expertly and was calm and collect on all the wet, hairpin turns getting up so high. All in all, thrilled I was able to see this UNESCO Heritage site. As for the not so great side, the first stop was within an hour of pick up for a few to use the restroom. Then an hour later another stop for coffee and strudlel way too early in the morning. Another that is was full steam ahead to get to our lunch stop. When I asked if we could stop so I could get a picture of the sign that stated "Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage Site" or s view of the mountains way up high, it was not possible???? A lovely lunch at the top and then for the worst part. In a small town at the bottom, not Bolzano, in the pouring rain, there was an hour and fifteen minute break. Pretty much no shops open, a few coffee bars and that was it. What a waste of time when we had such a long way back. Most of the people from my hotel were quite unhappy about this. About two hours again another stop. Anna said 10 min, but of course the lasts one on the bus, LATE, had a cup of coffee. This is the biggest problem with big bus tours, too many stops without even asking if anyone wants to. Go to the Dolomites, but maybe try to find a small, private tour.

This tour was one of the best days of our vacation. Well organised trip with comfort stops and amazing views of Dolomites. The coffee stop in the morning was exactly what we needed because we missed breakfast at the hotel. We definitely recommend this tour!! It is a must if you stay around the Garda lake : In July it is warm even in the mountains - you will be ok with shorts and jacket.

Quite well, despite of the traffic jam that we found on our way back to Lake Garda and the fact that the guide, who was most informative, almost did not realise us -maybe because the tour was in English and German and my partner can only speak Italian-. Too little time at the Dolomites to have lunch and the stop at the nearby village to use the restrooms was too long and unnecessary, the village itself was not very impressive, I would have loved to spend more time at the mountains or simply, make the trip shorter.

Excellent long tour. Very Good guide. Only let down there could have been small gesture by the tour operator to provide complimentary tea or coffee with cake or so.

This tour was amazing. Surpassed all expectations, the scenery was breath taking, the drive up the different passes was unreal, I had been afraid the windy roads may have made me anxious but the driving was great and I never once felt anxious. Definitely take the cable car to the top of the mountain, you will not be disappointed, I was not prepared for what I seen and experienced. It was truly spiritual and really hard to put into words. Our tour guide Franscesco was brilliant, really funny and relaxed. the Dolomites tour was the absolute highlight of our week in Malcesine, and even thought it was a full day it wasn't exhausting as there was so much to see during the drive. Can not recommend enough :-

We had a wonderful tour getting out into the Dolomites! In addition to stopping in a couple cute towns, we actually had a brief option of going up in a cable car into the mountains and walking around before lunch at the Rifugio. This was optional, but we took it. We went in June and it sure was cold! Still snow at the level we visited. I wish I had dressed better because we changed temperature so many times that day, from starting at lake level to moving and walking around at higher altitudes. But all in all, a wonderful day! So scenic and our guide was very informational.

I wasn't sure this trip was for me, my sister in law was keen, so I went along - but turned out to be highlight of holiday, was brilliant, guide was great, and bus driver deserved 10 stars - road unbelievable- hightly recommend

Fantastic guide. Excellent weather. Fantastic views of mountains and Austrian villages. Knowledgeable guide and very very funny. Great day. This was our 4th time and will go again next year.
