Guidekin's take

Guide plus driver? in our Dolomites Day Trips comparison. Cortina and Misurina with a driver and separate guide, 10h at €119 per person; English only, no under sixes, lunch extra. 4.77, 150 reviews.

Trade-off: No children under six; viewpoints rather than hikes.

Last checked: September 22, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

From the guide

Enjoy a full day tour from Venice to the Dolomites Mountains, a Unesco World Heritage. We will take you through scenic roads to the famous Cortina d'Ampezzo, a true paradise for sports and nature lovers that welcome guests with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, all against the backdrop of breathtaking views. The resort will host the next Olympic Winter Games in 2026. After the visit of the wonderful town we will drive through the panoramic road of Passo Tre Croci to Lake Misurina where you will have enough time to walk around the gorgeous lake and have lunch at one of the restaurants serving local food. In the summer you can also rent a small boat to get around the lake or ride the panoramic chairlift to the Col de Varda Viewpoint. Then, on the way back we will make a photo stop at Lake Auronzo where you can walk on the dam and sometimes see the water rushing through gates. This tour will end at the meeting point in Venice in the evening but the memories will last a lifetime!
