What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in The Dolomites
- Hiking in the Dolomites
So amazing! Had a fantastic time, our guide Nigel was excellent! The hotel was pretty nice, the food was mixed, some nights was pretty good others weren’t the best. The breakfast was good, however one day I did see mould on one of the baked items which turned me off and the last night when there was obviously more guests at the hotel then other nights and we were last to eat the salad buffet was extremely empty, obviously not the tours issue but maybe something to pass on to the hotel. The views, hikes, picnic lunches and group was amazing and couldn’t fault!
