Venice 7-Day Tours and Trips

The scenery was unique and striking, even on the way to Dobbiaco from Venice airport. Pinnacles, lakes and crags. Our leader Jasmine made the most of the weather to complete almost the whole programme as written, just sensibly adapting to the one wet day. The hotel gave us excellent breakfasts and dinners (especially for omnivores). On the free day Brunico proved attractive with a mountain people's museum in the castle. A couple of walks were busy, but not spoilt.

We had a great experience with G Adventures when we traveled to Costa Rica a couple of years ago and this trip to Italy cemented our positive view of these tours. I would not hesitate to recommend G Adventures to anyone traveling with children. The activities were fun, interesting, and varied. It was our 3 grandsons' first trip out of the country and it could not have been better. You need to give Francesco and Mika a raise in salary! They were outstanding.

We recently returned home from a most exceptional tour hosted by Roma. Roma's knowledge of Italian history enriched our experience indescribably. We visited more sight then we could have imagined. This fast paced tour fit our expectations perfectly. Would go again with Roma as a guide a hundred times over!

Hiking the Dolomites with Explore was amazing. Eduardo our tour leader guided us, cared for us and encouraged us when the going got tough. Each day was another spectacular hike and those at home were amazed at the photos. Make sure you are well prepared. This is not a beginner's hike, but distances each day are manageable and enjoyable for those who have put in the prep. Hiking poles recommended.

The holiday was an excellent introduction to walking in the foothills of the Italian Dolomites and learning about Prosecco wines. The Prosecco area is stunningly beautiful and the walks were generally leisurely as graded. The opportunity to eat at local restaurants provided variety food and setting.

Walking on this holiday is varied and well within most people's grasp. Aside from the rolling hills of Prosecco vineyards it includes forest walking and following along side a river. The hotel is most comfortable with large airy bedrooms and updated bathrooms which do not detract from the historic building. It sits within its own grounds including a large swimming pool and a bookable spa. The village of Soligo is small with 3 cafe's and a small shop which stocks a wide range of biscuits, soft drinks and bottled water. There is one sure thing about this holiday and this is you will not go hungry. Lunches are freshly made by the local shop and will keep you going during the walks. The hotel food is second to none and the other resturants we eat at also supplied delicous food. The highlight of this trip is Prosecco in all its forms. I learnt a lot about how the wine was made and how to tell one bottle from another.
