About The Host

Manuela

Hi, my name is Manuela, I was born in the beautiful valley of Val Badia, which is in the heart of the Italian Dolomites. I studied tourism economy and I've been in the tourism business ever since. In 2018 I decided to open my tour operator Info Dolomites to provide our guests from all over the world with ultimate experiences in my homeland and above all, to make them feel at home. To fulfill that dream, I asked my long-time friend Simona, originally from Venice, to be on my side and work together.

We aim to provide tailor-made tours that allow you to get the best, but not the usual, of this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site. You can visit our website for some of the tours we've designed, but regardless of the route you choose, each will be tailored to your interests and preferences, resulting in memorable experiences!
