          Excellent tour guide in an amazing part of the world
          The most amazing tour! Allessandro was an excellent tour guide. Instantly likable, professional and a wonderful, safe driver on challenging roads. The perfect blend of historical, cultural and geographical insights, all done with humour and interesting anecdotes. Worth every penny. You will not regret doing this tour.

          You will not be disappointed, excellent day trip, well worth the money
          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.

          Best private tour ever!!
          Allesandro couldn’t have shown us a better tour. The first day, he researched our family home in Cloz and took us to see the sites and to buy some copper made in the area for more than a hundred years. The second day, he took s on a Grand Tour of the Dolomites. He is obviously in live with this area. We had a great day! He watched the weather and arranged our days so the weather would be the best in the Dolomites. Memories for a lifetime!!!

          The gateway city to the Dolomites
          Bolzano is a historic city and the gateway to the Dolomites. It is beautiful and walkable. Many attractions, good food and wine.

          Very personal and special tour in the dolomites
          We 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.

          A truly amazing experience with a great guide & driver
          We 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.

          Excellent 'Best of Turkey' tour by World Expeditions
          The itinerary was excellent, the accommodation very good, and the guide (Tolga) was fantastic. [The weather was also very good, and so too was the add-on balloon ride in Cappadocia.]

          Enchanting place to base a trip to Dolomites
          Bolzano 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.

          Bolzano - Best of the Dolomites
          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.

          Dolomities Private Tour
          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!

          Wonderful day touring the Dolomites
          The views were incredible. Took dozens of photos and made as many memories. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re looking to hike, do not do the all day tour - it is designed so that you can truly see everything noteworthy in just one day, and you’ll be out of the car a good amount, but there is a lot of driving. Can cross this off the bucket list, but surely want to go back and do a hike or two in these fantastic mountains.

          Amazing tour with a friendly and knowledgable guide
          Alex was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have been more pleased with the tour. My family had only one day to spend in the Dolomites and we feel we had the best possible experience within our limited time frame. Alex is a local from the area and knows exactly the right places to bring you and the right times to avoid crowds/traffic. He offers a very full day that includes the major sights, and he is also flexible and can tailor the schedule to your preferences. For instance, we passed a castle that caught our eye and he squeezed in a quick stop for us to see it. In short, we wholeheartedly recommend taking a tour with Alex!

          Extremely thrilling, surprising, adventurous and exciting trip to the origin of beings 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.

        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!

        Alessandro 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.

        Greeted 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!!!

        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 the most beautiful views I've ever seen in my life. The places are extremely beautiful, the nature is impeccable, it was a delightful day that went by super quickly. Alex was very attentive and charismatic from the first contact, with great explanations about the region, the history of the formations, you can see that he has knowledge of the region. Speaks English well, so communication was very good. I took the tour alone and it was super peaceful and comfortable. I recommend it 1000%

        My wife and I had Alessandro arrange three tours, one on the Dolomites Western Road with him, a transfer from Bolzano to Lake Misurina and a transfer from Lake Misurina to Venice. The best was a tour with him. He has great energy and happily shared his expertise and the surroundings were beautiful “topped off” by a cable car trip from 7,000 to 10,000 ft where we could spend more than an hour in 360 degree breathtaking beauty. In the other trips necessary transfers became comfortable sightseeing opportunities. Couldn’t be better. If you are going to the Dolomites go with Alessandro. Jan and Jerry

He never rushed us through any portion of our day. We truly felt he gave us the best day possible of the Dolomites. He even went beyond and gave us suggestions for day trips on our own. We would highly recommend this tour.

        The experience in the Dolomites was wonderful! The Dolomites are so beautiful!

        Alex is a very good tour guide! Thanks so much for his kindness, patience, expertise and consideration, we missed nothing and were able to enjoy more sunshine and the very beautiful Dolomites. From Alex's passion and expertise for the mountains we learned more about the Dolomites and Northern Italy. Alex was so friendly and even before we set off to Italy he gave us the best advice for our own day trip to the Dolomites.

        Exceeded expectations and it was a worthwhile trip! We highly recommend this tour.

        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.

        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.
