Stefania (Tour guide) and Ralph (the 2nd driver) were amazing and so nice. Stefania called Ralph's phone and he had it connected to his vehicle radio. We could hear Stefania's commentary from the lead car!
Stefania knew so much about the area, not just the Dolomites, but even along the 90min route thru the little towns, etc
The views were exception. Every direction I looked seemed to have a photo worthy view, even with the could. We couldn't see all three peaks at Tre Crim but still breathtaking!
I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion from Venice. It was easy to find Stefania at the taxi station after taking the Vaporetto to the Pl. Roma stop (bus station line 2)
Bonus, near the end of the excursion, Stefania treated us all to delicious gelato

The views and locations were excellent. The drive is pretty long which I understand. It would be nice if the food was included, if anything to keep everyone in the group together. People just went their own way at the various places so socializing was minimal.
The van we traveled in is not the greatest. If you are not sitting in the front seat, it is hard to see the various things being talked about.

Stefania was a wonderful guide, giving us insight on the places we visited. The mountains and lakes are beautiful, some still snow capped and frozen! There was enough time to enjoy each stop and the tour ended with gelato - always a plus! Thank you Stefania! Definitely recommend!

We had an wonderful day with Estefania! We learned so much from her about the area, from the topography to the history and more. She’s knowledgeable and funny and did a great job telling us all about sights and points of interest. Our in Cortona and Lake Braies were breathtaking and she timed everything very well. We highly recommend this tour as a one-day getaway from Venice. Grazie Stefania!!

Stefania was GREAT!!! She was fun, she was knowleadgeable, flexible. Dolomites is something else. If you travel to Italy, find a way to visit Dolomites. Breathtaking views. Wherever you look, you will see something different and beautiful. I would go there everyday if I could, I would even move there. Loved it.
