For hikers who value culture and cuisine as much as the views, a week spent rollicking in the rolling hills, sprawling vineyards, and looming mountains of Veneto is la dolce vita. Each day, you’ll stop in a historic hamlet to taste regional specialties or take part in one of the local festivals, like the medieval spectacle of Palio di Feltre or the traditional Apple Feast of Mel.

Annette S.P. (source: Guide’s Web)

I was looking forward to the experiences/adventures of hiking in the region of the Pre-Alps at the foot of the Dolomites because of how beautiful the area is. It was obvious throughout the tour how much this area means to Piero. The trip far exceeded any expectations. Piero is the consummate guide: knowledgeable, patient, spontaneous, flexible, and more. The pleasure he gains from planning surprises or continually having new ideas to add more interest or fun is indeed a gift to us. Each day was amazing. I not only wholeheartedly recommend Piero’s tour and I’m planning to return in 2024.
