Extraordinarily beautiful landscapes - an unforgettable trip

Submitted July 2024

By Rita

From Sydney, Australia

The Dolomites were so beautiful, it was hard to believe. The guides on this trip, Marika, Giulia and Luca were exceptional - so supportive, warm, kind, organised and enthusiastic. They made the trip for us. The other families on Backroads trips are always amazing. We had an incredibly special time which we will never forget!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Exceeded our expectations!

From Colorado Springs, CO

First time to Italy and we were nervous. 2nd Backroads trip (first one was in Maine) so we expected amazing and got it! This Colorado mountain crazy family were amazed at the gorgeous Dolomites. Lodgings were wonderful but quaint. Leaders (3 amazing females) were excellent and every day was an exciting biking or hiking adventure. Kids enjoyed rock climbing and pizza party while one of the adult highlights was the wine tasting in a cellar experience! Once again, Backroads was amazing!

The tour was every I expected and more. Though hard at times, I believe this is one of the best trips I've ever taken. In my short 15 years, I saw views that were amazing and made my imagination grow. I was shocked at all the history in the Dolomites, and I definitely recommend this trip to anyone who would want to go.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

The Dolomites are an undiscovered gem.

Submitted August 2017

My husband and I had gone on the Provence trip and loved it but had never done Backroads with our two boys (12 & 16). We booked a family trip to the Dolomites, hoping our kids would take to active travel, and we were not disappointed. They loved the food and the camaraderie. Having other kids around made them push themselves physically, and they even took in some history (Who knew there were trenches in the Tyrolean mountains in WWI?). Our three guides, Gerald, Sarah and Larissa, could not have been more upbeat and professional. We all loved them. The scenery is indescribably beautiful, real Sound of Music stuff, and the hotels were unique and charming. Magnifico.

The Dolomites trip was absolutely superb! A first class adventures through, hands down, the most beautiful place on earth! This trip exceeded our every expectation. The guides, the food, the sites, the routes, the memories -- unreal. This time it was just was 12-year old daughter and me but I hope to take the whole family on a Backroads adventure someday.

This was our first Backroads trip. Epic time! We loved being active as a family and loved not having to deal with moving bikes and luggage ourselves. Backroads really thought threw all the details to ensure every adult and every child enjoyed themselves. Still have big smiles on our faces thinking of each day - the biking, hiking, adventure park, rock climbing, dinners. Again, Epic!
