"A great experience in an amazing part of the world!"

"This was our 9th trip with WT and it was simply superb. A beautiful blend of cultural, culinary, and hiking experiences. We would not have been able to experience the Dolomites unless this level 3 trip was designed. From the opening day of a wine tasting and delicious lunch to the extraordinary hikes on the alpine plateaus, each day brought varying activities and wonderful experiences."

"The Dolomites are on a very short list of most beautiful places I've ever been. This trip gave an excellent overview of the area: accessible hiking trails, good food, local flavor."

"Some of the best food I've ever had, some of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, some of the best views ever!"

"I loved the variety between food, wine tasting, and hiking. The scenery was just gorgeous, the prettiest mountains I have ever seen with the rocky peaks and the lush, green valleys and little towns between. It was scenery from the 'Sound of Music.'"
Jenny R.
Aptos, CA
"What else can I say? This was an amazing trip. From the logistics to the dining to the trails to the hotels to the spas to the expertise and knowledge you shared, it all came together brilliantly. Not to mention the jaw-dropping panoramas. Every day brought a new experience of 'Wow!' We have new appreciation for the beauty of the Dolomites and the culture of Northern Italy."
