Venice to the Dolomites by minivan with Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lake Braies, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Lake Misurina, and optional snowmobile.
“The drive there and back was very scenic. We made at least five stops for pictures and to walk around and explore little. Although the weather was cloudy, it was well worth the trip just to experience the views and scenery each way. Tour guide was fantastic! So if you like short road trips and want to see amazing mountains and get some gorgeous pictures, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking this trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
Half-day motorboat from Punta Sabbioni to Murano and Burano, glass demo option, lace streets, covered lagoon comfort.
“Overall, an enjoyable trip. Two disappointing aspects: First, it wasn't stated on the website that starting from Lido di Jesolo meant stopping for 30 minutes in fierce sun while picking up Venice passengers. And that links to the second problem - the sun awning wasn't unfurled at any point,earning the upper deck was in full sun for the whole time of the trip.”
Small-group day trip from Venice to the Dolomites: Cortina, a walk at Lake Misurina, photo stops, and English guiding in 9 hours.

Half-day Murano and Burano lagoon boat trip from Punta Sabbioni, with glass demo, colorful streets, and a quick Torcello stop.
“Good excursion but only 40 minutes at each island was not enough time to appreciate the experience. Did only have time for a quick lunch on Torcello and did not get into the town!”
Venice to the Dolomites and Prosecco Hills in one day. Cortina and Lake Misurina, Tre Cime views, plus DOCG Prosecco tasting.
“We had the best time on the Dolomites and Prosecco Hills day trip from Venice! Simone is a brilliant guide and lovely person. He did everything to make our trip special for the whole group. An 8 person group was perfect as it didn’t feel too big and we didn’t feel rushed. The landscapes were gorgeous and the Prosecco was a highlight! We highly recommend this trip.”

Dolomites day trip from Venice in a small air-conditioned van, with lake walks, Cortina stop, and no driving headaches.
“The Dolomites are breathtaking. The ride up itself went quickly and we learned a lot about the region from our guide, Simone, on the way. There were plenty of stops for photos and some lovely short walks. The day felt unhurried and was thoroughly enjoyable. Simone was easygoing, friendly, interesting and knowledgeable. And, an added bonus, a great driver! I never felt unsafe going up the switchbacks. Absolutely gorgeous area!”
Private Prosecco day trip from Venice with two winery tastings, DOCG cellar visit, and a 2-course lunch plus door-to-door transfers.
“Tour guide was attentive and shared hidden 'local' small town restaurant for the included traditional lunch. Both prosecco tasting experiences were great and offered different settings: beautiful country hillsides and a small town event location. We were rushed out of the 2nd due to an event going on. We even stopped at a wonderful local cheese shop/factory for cheese tastes, though we were told later that we needed to pay 3euro for this special stop. Rating would be 5 stars and tip higher if cheese stop was an added/covered touch.”
Train to Florence from Venice with a guided walking tour of top sights, optional Duomo access, and plenty of time to explore on your own.

It cities of Italy are nice, with much to see, but it was wonderful to get out of the city and enjoy the beautiful countryside. We definitely recommend this trip.”
