My wife and I went on the Dolce Vita trip with Active Adventures and we both feel that it was one of our top 3 holidays ever. We LOVED our guides (Andrea & Enrico - one for the mountains and one for the Lakes Region kayaking). The natural beauty was amazing but the care our guides took of the group was truly beyond our expectations. Bravo to Active Adventures for partnering with such amazing local guides who are not only knowledgeable but funny and a true pleasure to be around. We LOVED this trip and plan to do more!

The lake region of Italy is so beautiful and peaceful. I absolutely loved it. Alagna and hiking the Alps, just a energetic, fun, gorgeous trip.

When you are on the Dolce Vita Italy Lakes tour, the word “Wow!” Is constantly springing from your lips. The scenery is just incredible, making every hike and kayaking expedition well worth the effort. And other rewards come in food, wine, and friendship, mixed in with a lot of laughs! Our guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and great company. Highly recommend this trip.

After two years of being cooped and limited, and at a SENIOR status(...), I rediscovered the beautiful skies in the mountains, the waterfalls, the pleasure of kayaking on a scenic lake, and the pleasure of having excellent guides who know, not just all the details of the sites, their detours and special vistas, but take you to the best local feed places at the end of a long and hard day. DO IT! You owe it to yourself.

Loved this trip, great mix of hiking, kayaking and wonderful food. Andrea and Jo were wonderful guides and took great care of us. If one activity wouldn't work because of poor conditions, they were always able to come up with great alternatives. We really appreciated Andrea's local insight and family stories. I am just glad it was an active trip so I could enjoy all the wonderful meals guilt free.

My wife and I loved the hiking and the company! Once again we are impressed how Active Adventures allow us to hike at our own pace. They are always looking out for us and making sure we are having a great time.

The Italian Alps and Lake District were awesome! Some of the hikes were challenging for me given some steep inclines and uneven rocks but the views from the top were well worth the effort! Our guides were flexible in offering options on two of the days to skip a particularly steep section of the hike while not missing out on the majority of the group's hike and activities. Our lead Italian guide Andrea was very knowledgeable. The day of kayaking on Lake Maggiore was really wonderful, especially the swim and walk to the waterfall at our lunch stop where we enjoyed a scrumptious Italian buffet laid out on Andrea's kayak!

This was my 1st Active Adventures trip but not my last. We had 13 participants with 3 professional guides, our Trip Leader, Joanna McHugh, a native hiking guide, and expert kayaking guide, Giuliano. These guides worked so well together and made the trip such fun for us all while revealing this beautiful area to us. Unlike my granite clad mountains of New Hampshire, these hikes were so green passing through summer grazing pastures with
