Starting with the first correspondence of tour enquiry over email, engaging with Alessandro was a pleasurable and easy experience because of his extremely organised, professional yet friendly approach I and my wife took a customised Full day Private tour where we requested to include the Funes Valley on 31st October 2019. From the start of the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed Alessandro's company, felt extremely comfortable and were constantly engaged with all the information he kept sharing with us all through the day (including his knowledge on many other subjects including some of the Indian traditions & cultures). It felt like a day spent with a friend and this tour was the highlight of our Italy trip. One of the main reasons for planning my Italy visit and especially this time of the year, was because of my passion for photography and to enjoy the beautiful fall colours and I returned extremely satisfied and happy. Alex made sure that I got what I wanted, stopping at good places to take picture and giving us all the flexibility of a self drive with the comfort of sitting back and enjoying a relaxed guided tour. A thorough Professional with an excellent vehicle, highly knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Hands down one of the best tours in Italy and not just best in Bolzano or Dolomites area. If doing a tour of this region, I would recommend to blindly book this tour.This was our second trip with Alessandro. The best things about the trip are that he is so knowledgeable about history, geography, and culture, and he has no timetable.

This was our second trip with Alessandro. The best things about the trip are that he is so knowledgeable about history, geography, and culture, and he has no timetable. He lets the clients customize their day according to preferences and weather conditions. If we wanted to go to the top of the mountain, we stopped and went to the top of the mountain. Alessandro is so considerate of his clients--he had jackets and umbrellas at the ready for changeable weather in the mountains. He had bottles of water and let us now that if the hairpin turns were bothering any of us, we could stop at any time. We feel like we truly experienced the Dolomites like a local would and took advantage of the beauty that the area has to offer. We'll likely be back for another trip with Alessandro. I cannot recommend his tours highly enough. They are both personalized and reasonable for the service that you get and the once-in-a-lifetime experience.we had a spectacular day with Alex touring such a beautiful region. His English was great and he knew everywhere to go and when to do it! It was money well spent!
