Next, arrive at Karerpass where you’ll see the historical Residence Grand Hotel Carezza, built in 1893, this was the first luxury hotel in the Dolomites and has hosted very important guests including the Empress Sissi, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie.

Great tour. We loved sightseeing and our favourite bit was definitely the Sass Pordoi cable car. We would have liked more of an itinerary so we knew when we would be eating lunch, we would recommend taking some snacks to see you through. The tour guide was great, funny and knowledgable. We were staying in Riva Del Garda and so we were one of the last to be picked up and first to be dropped off which was an added bonus. Overall it was one of the highlights of our stay at Lake Garda and I would definitely recommend to others!

Amazing trip. Our trip began through green vineyards and apple farms . Guide Francesco was so professional and informative and told us many stories about local culture and local life. Also, the driver was very experienced.No stress during our mountain trip. Most impressive was covered in snow tops of Dalamite. Don't forget to take a warmer coat and cardigan, it was -5 C. Little town Ortisei amazing little town.I highly recommend this tour to everyone who plans to visit Lake Garda.

This was hands down the best tour we have ever taken and was the highlight of our two weeks in Europe. Alessandro Scacchetti was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, a super safe driver on the crazy winding roads, and gave us a once in a lifetime experience seeing the Dolomites for the first time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GUIDE, you won't be disappointed.

I would recommend this trip....guide was excellent...very informative with good humour. The scenery is spectacular...definitely recommend.

It was an amazing experience, Dolomites mountains are breathtaking never seen something so beautiful.
