—  Overall the Trip was as expected but could have been arranged at better Refugios at some of the locations. Especially the last 2 days the Refugio at TreCime was horrible. There were some Refugios like Des Alpes and Stella Alpina which were excellent. Overall I felt the trip could have been better. Navigation was excellent and directions were accurate. There were some Refugios where vegetarian options were very limited or none.

—  Willy was awesome! The trip was great despite the weather not always co-operating. What would have made this trip better? better timing of the meals. The hotel was great, staff great, food was awesome, but the timing was horrendous for a hiking trip. Considering we had to be ready to get on the transfer at 8am and breakfast only starting at 7:30 (they did make an exception for us and started at 7:15) was ridiculous!!! We couldn't even get coffee before hand. Who can wake up, eat , digest , properly use the washroom facilities so we don't have to dig cat holes on the trail in 25 minutes? esp when we are travellers with Jetlag??? Then we come back from hard hiking all day (8am leave and come back at 4-5pm), starving and tired and now we have to wait until 7:30pm to eat? That when we all want to be winding down , digesting our food so that we can get a good night sleep for the next big hiking day. The meal schedule was made for tourists sightseeing , not people who are doing hiking, trekking or climbing. Breakfast should have started at 6-6:30am and dinner served at 6-6:30 pm.

—  This trip exceeded my expectations in experiencing the Best of the Dolomites. Everything was perfect and taken care of from accomodations, transfers, meals and guide.
