It was fun to see our guide Simone telling jokes from morning until evening. I regret that I couldn't respond adequately due to my poor English, but even what I understood was extremely funny. It was a valuable opportunity to learn about Italy, as well as the towns and nature around the Dolomites. Thank you very much. For those planning to go: I think this tour offers more value than the price! Please feel free to apply.
