Alessandro Scacchetti (Alex) really knows the Dolomites. We thought of renting a car and trying to see them ourselves, but paying him was worth every euro and more! He LOVES these mountains, and knows where to go to see them, explain the history and geography, and get fantastic photos. If you look at personalized or private tours on Viator, or ToursbyLocals and read the reviews, you are likely to see it is Alex that did the tours. ItalyDolomites is his personal website so go there to make arrangements and contact him.
My wife and I went when there were covid restrictions in Italy and we were concerned about spending the day with strangers. He gave us a private tour, let us choose where to go and how long to spend, knowing that I wanted the chance to take some great photos. He did not disappoint. We took great lake pictures, took the cable car (funivia) at Sass Pordoi to get spectacular views of the mountains and the valleys, ate lunch and toured the gorgeous town of Ortisei in Val Gardena, and ended with the Val di Funes for a must have photo. His English is excellent, and he is outgoing and a delight to be with. We spent the day with him and the time passed quickly as every back road we took had beautiful views. He has spent his life with these mountains and knows exactly where to go and how to get there. He is a fantastic guide. Seeing the mountains is one thing; sharing his passion for them made it exceptional.

Alex was a wonderful guide in this stunning part of Italy. He knew the best places to take us to maximize our time and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and facts of the region. We were fortunate to have picked the perfect day for our tour with out a cloud in the sky. I cannot recommend him enough. He made my wife and I feel like family and took great care of us. You need to plan ahead if coming to Bolzano and get him booked!!
