CIAO TUTTI! ARE YOU READY?
Buon Giorno, you're going to the Dolomites! Are you already counting down? This page has all the important information like all the accommodations where we are staying, the schedule, phone numbers and useful tips for all the essentials. If something is missing or not completely clear it may be that not everything is known yet, please let us know so we can help you further. Please also pass on the URL to those back home so they also always know where you are or who to contact in case of an emergency.
GUIDES
During this trip there will be two guides present who will do everything they can to make it as unforgettable as possible! If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask them because that's what they're for!
CHARLY
The face behind This Way and often the point of contact. She knows the Dolomites well and loves Italian culture. If you have a question about compositions or the right settings for your camera, she is also the right person to talk to.
FRANK
With Frank as your guide, cheerfulness is guaranteed. He does not shy away from any challenge and will really do everything to make you feel comfortable.
TRANSPORT
PICK UP
We will pick you up October 21 at the airport in Venice unless otherwise arranged with you. So be ready with all your luggage in the arrival hall or look for us. You will recognize us by the This Way logo and otherwise we will recognize you! We would like to hear your flight number in advance so we can keep an eye on you if there are any delays.
TRANSPORTATION
As indicated, all transportation in the Dolomites is included in the trip. During the photo tour we will drive in a car big enough for all participants. If this does not fit we will know in advance and there will be two cars. We ask you not to bring more than 1 suitcase/bag in addition to your photography bag and preferably not the very biggest one.
RETURN
We will return you to the airport no later than 12:00, unless otherwise arranged with you. We are aware that the times of the flights may not fit perfectly with the schedule we have. Please let us know in time, and we will make sure everything goes smoothly.
ACCOMMODATION AND FACILITIES
The accommodations where we stay during the trip in the Dolomites are distributed along the route. The distances are quite long if we stay in one place and by hopping from accommodation to accommodation we make the most of the photography opportunities. From the last accommodation it is about a 2.5 hour drive to the airport.

MEALS
Breakfast is included with all accommodations in the Dolomites. So we can sit down for a good breakfast after photographing our morning location. At our second accommodation, dinner is also already arranged. As you know, dinner is not included in the price. We will bill you separately for the cost of these meals before the trip. We were able to arrange a nice price especially for our group. More on this soon.
LUNCH AND DINNER
We will prepare lunch together. We will set the table together or we will find a nice bakery somewhere on the route of our planning. Maybe we'll even make a picnic of it if the weather allows it. You don't have to worry about the lunch, just let us know if you have any dietary requirements.
PLANNING
For the days in the Dolomites we have made an overview of the locations. Of course, this is not 100% fixed because the weather can also affect it. Soon you will receive a Google MyMaps with all locations, accommodations and other important points marked on it. Upon arrival we will give a short presentation in which we will share some tips and tricks. In between there will be an opportunity where we can look at some editing tips with each other.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
We're going to make it a fantastic trip. In the unlikely event that something happens, at home or during the trip, it is wise that we can reach each other. We therefore advise you to give the people who stay at home the URL of this page so that they can access the information at all times. To be on the safe side, also leave the phone number where Charly can be reached. She is available 24 hours a day in case of emergency. +31(0)640418257. Do you store it yourself?
