What travelers say
Real words from travelers I've helped plan their Dolomites trips.
WE WERE LOST, UNTIL WE FOUND LAURA!
My family and I were planning a trip in northern Italy and wanted to include a loop through the Dolomites, but we had no idea where to go or what to do. Then we found Laura! We went from a disorganized mess to one of the best trips we have ever been on. Without Laura’s guidance and organization, we would have been wandering aimlessly. She helped us find so many unbelievable experiences in such a short amount of time, guided us on where to stop, where to stay, where to eat and even where to park. With our children starting to head off to college next year, this may have been one of our last trips together as a family. Thank you Laura for making it the trip of a lifetime!

"I had never been to the Dolomites before, and working with Laura made the whole experience incredibly easy. Her knowledge comes from years of travelling, exploring and researching the region, so every recommendation felt personal and well thought through. She helped me decide where to stay and use as a home base, recommended fantastic restaurants and bars beyond the typical half board hotel options, and suggested a great mix of hikes, from quieter, less touristy trails to the iconic routes, with options for different fitness levels. Laura planned my 2025 trip, and I enjoyed it so much that I'm heading back in August 2026 with her help again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dolomites Journey to anyone planning their trip."

"Working with you was incredibly helpful, especially having someone we could ask questions and who could tailor a realistic guide for us. Our favorite day was Seceda. We loved hiking down the mountain to Santa Cristina and stopping at Cuca. The boys loved it. We were so sore but so proud and it was simply stunning. Mike loved the guided e-bike ride, he biked 23 miles."

“Your guide was phenomenal! It helped immensely with paring down what to do and see when there were so many options and had a good flow to prevent any long drives. We pivoted on the timing of certain days, but the way you created it made that an easy thing to do. Your restaurant recommendations were spot on.
I am so thankful for your help and for the ability to experience this beautiful piece of the world with my husband.”

“Her itinerary made all the difference for our trip. It took care of all the logistics and planning for our hiking, offered fantastic variety, and made our trip so much easier and immensely enjoyable.
I’ve never used a travel planner before. So glad we did this time.”

"Initially, I used the Dolomites Journey free guides to do my research. Then I reached out to Laura after I had a list of places to see, and she helped me organize it all into a logical plan. Do not go to the Dolomites thinking you can wing it. It's a huge area and you need a game plan, and a backup game plan. Laura helped make our trip to the Dolomites the highlight of our 3 week stay in Italy."

“Laura came to the rescue and dissolved the mystery. She immediately heard the type of trip we were going for and gave us clear and useful information. We’re so grateful and would very much encourage others to use her services!”

“The plan you provided was very comprehensive. I appreciated the food recommendations, local cultural events and alternative activities to hiking.
Our visit to the Dolomites was a highlight of our trip to Italy thanks to your itinerary.”
— Nicole · October 2026
"I have been to Italy over 20 times but this was my first trip to the Dolomites. I am a busy person and Laura was a lifesaver for this trip. She really streamlined my trip to get the most out of it, because you can't do it all in one go. The hikes and the hotels were spot on. I would consult her again for a second trip or recommend her to any friend. Planning this trip can be overwhelming. Save yourself a lot of stress and use Laura. You won't regret it."
