Amazing experience - Fantastic experience, Alessandra was great with her tour and very professional. Lake Garda and Sirmione is very serene. Whether it’s solo travel, couples or a family day out. It’s a great experience. Would highly suggest coming during the months of April and May where the weather is nice and calm. During the summer I could imagine it getting very busy.

Sirmione and Lake Garda Tour from Verona - Lake Garda and Sirmione are beautiful places and this tour was a wonderful way to enjoy them. It was a comfortable ride from Verona to Lake Garda with our guide Matilde. Once we arrived in Lake Garda, our other guide, Davide, joined us. We went on a scenic boat ride around the lake and stopped in Sirmione. They took us on a tour of the town and showed us the historical sites. After the tour we had a little time to ourselves to explore or grab a quick bite to eat. This is such a lovely town that we probably wouldn’t have visited if we didn’t go on the tour. Thanks to Matilde and Davide for such a lovely and memorable day.

Beautiful - This was a fun trip! Sirmione was a beautiful place. We took a 30 minute bus ride from Verona with guide Matilde, then hopped on a speed boat with another guide. She was awesome! She provided us a ton of history on the Lake, hot springs and ancient buildings. We drove through part of moat and then wrapped the day up with a walking tour. Beautiful chapel and church included!

Fantastic tour on Lake Garda - Sirmione is a gorgeous setting on the south side of lake Garda. The short boat tour around the peninsula combined with the walking tour of the historic old city was a great way to take in the sites. Our guides were well versed in the regional history.

Good but short - Entire tour was on time and it’s a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the full day. I’d like to hear about the history of the sirmione while commuting in the bus. The guide in sirmione was very good.

Great guides but company misled about group size - Great guides Mathilde in Verona and David in Sirmione but misinformation in listing. Not a small group tour. The listing said 8 people max but there were 12 or 13 in the van. Then we were joined by more people totaling over 20 and crammed onto the boat. Same number for walking tour. But again, the guides were great!

Waste of money - Honestly there wasn’t much to the tour. The tour guide Mathilde was lovely but it was more the organisation of the tour which was quite a waste of time - 1 hour to explore, a non exciting boat ride, and a total of 5 facts that can easily be googled shared by the ‘local guide’. It was a rushed, poorly crafted and very non experiential tour. Please head there yourself, this tour is a waste of money, I regret it.
