Lovely day out

Very well organised, lovely tour guide (Romana Oregano - sorry if we spelled your name wrong) . Really enjoyed the boat trip, nice to have a cool breeze on a hot day. Lazise is well worth visiting and not as heavily touristed as Sirmione. Nice group size.

Taste of Lake Garda

It was very well organised and the tour guide was excellent . We loved the boat trips included. Sirmione was very pretty and the food in the restaurant the guide recommended was delicious. The only advice we would give is avoid Wednesday in Lazise as it’s market day and it was extremely crowded . Would definitely book with this company again.

Perfect experience

Absolutely perfect. Our tour guide was Beatrice (I believe, apologies if incorrect). She was amazing. Really knowledgable and approachable. Lots of insight. You could tell she knew the area well. comfortable coach. Just a perfect experience for my family. I traveled with my wife and two daughters.

A pleasant day with a helpful guide.

Sirmeone is a great city to visit. Interesting castle, lots of food and shopping choices. Lovely peninsula. Lazise struggles a bit to keep pace; it’s considerably smaller. The boat ride over was very choppy (with not even the most rudimentary safety discussion) so if the point of going to Lazise is to enjoy a boat ride, be forewarned: the boat ride can be uncomfortable for those who might be anxious.

A perfect day trip

We enjoyed our day trip to Lake Garda. It was a very convenient way to get there from Verona. We enjoyed the boat ride and the ferry ride to the islands. We had a lot of freedom to do whatever we wanted and to explore the islands at our own pace. It was very very hot the day we went, so we had to find all the gelato shops, of course. 😊
