Meraviglioso trip!

Tour guide was exceptional, really helpful, shared a lot of insights about Sirmione. Can’t remember the name of the guide but she had glasses and she was incredible

A Sirmione Must!

We had a beautiful morning with Carla. She showed us so much of the beautiful peninsula of Sirmione - from the water & on foot. It was a perfect way to get an overview of this beautiful little place that holds so much magic!

Morning trip in Sermione

We had a lovely guide , Franchesca , very charming and friendly and easily conversed with my kids and the adults in the group . She was very knowledgeable , patient and answered all our questions. The morning was very calm no wind which reduces visiblity on the lake for distant views but makes for smooth sailing and we had no issues viewing the sites of Sermione . The walking trip got busier with people as the morning progressed , so going the earlier time is advisable especially when you have kids . The trip was one of the top highlights of our trip to Italy . Would recommend it
