Escape Venice for Dolomites peaks, Lake Misurina and Cortina on a small-group day trip with photo stops, chairlift option, round-trip transfer.
“We had a wonderful day visiting the beautiful Dolomites. Miriam was a very accommodating guide. She was willing to stop at a few extra places for us. The van was very roomy with great legroom and very clean.”
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.
“Great trip. Guild was good and explained a lot. It was a lot of driving for what we got to see but it’s good to see if you’re going quick.”
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.”
Venice to the Dolomites by comfortable coach, with Cortina d’Ampezzo sights, a Lake Misurina walk, and photo stops at Auronzo Lake.
“Amazing! Such a great way to see the Dolomites. Our guide Massimo was great as well. He made our lunch reservation and took pics for us too!”
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!”
A full-day Prosecco Hills trip from Venice and Treviso with two DOCG winery tastings, UNESCO views, and free time in Conegliano.
“I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. The guides were both helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. They have personal relationships with all of the hosts at each of the stops. Their commitment to a wonderful, memorable experience is apparent all throughout. The prosecco we tasted is amazing. The food that went with it unbeatable. 8 hours did not feel too long. I was a little worried about the length of the trip because we had flown in late the night before but the full sized van was very comfortable (a few people took a quick nap between stops), and each stop had an opportunity to stretch the…”
Private one-day Venice tour with Rialto Market cicchetti lunch, Murano glassmaking, and a sunset Grand Canal water taxi.
“High yield tour! Giovanni our guide was amazing! He lives right in Venice and showed us his hometown. We felt like being toured by family. Aside from seeing the physical beauty of Venice, he treated us to an amazing restaurant and we had the best spaghetti with clams in our lives! Highly recommended!”
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.”
Small-group Valpolicella and Verona day trip from Venice with Amarone tasting, an 8th-century altar, and 3 hours in Verona.
“I found this tour to be very enjoyable. The winery we visited gave us a nice overview of the winemaking process for Amarone and the wine estate was very beautiful. Our guide recommended a lovely place in Verona for lunch. All in all, a very wonderful day. Highly recommended.”
