Private boat tour - We really enjoyed our two hour private boat tour, captained by Matteo. At €360 we did think when we booked that it was expensive, but decided that we may never get the opportunity to see parts of Lake Garda this way again, and so took the plunge. I’m so pleased we did, and actually felt that the tour was very good value for money. When we made the booking, we were given the option to stop in Gardone to wander around, or to stop and have a swim in the lake. We opted for the latter, and it was so lovely to be able to enjoy the water, on such a hot day, and surrounded by the beauty of Lake Garda. Our two teenage girls particularly enjoyed being able to top up their tans on the back of the boat! Matteo was very knowledgeable and was keen to talk to us about the different places we passed, the history behind them, and other general bits of information. He was also very friendly, and made us feel that we were in safe hands. The icing on the cake was as we came to the end of the tour, and the boat took us through Castello Scaligero di Sirmione. To see the castle from this vantage point was an unexpected treat. If you’re visiting Lake Carda for a short window of time, and have the budget to spend, I would highly recommend doing a private boat trip with Garda Tours.

Great boat trip - Really great boat trip. The boat was very nice and not overcrowded, knowledgable tour guides. Family friendly activity with great views. Booked and went on 10 mins later so didn’t need to pre book. Would love to go again

Great value for money - For something a little different for a very reasonable price try this boat trip. We had a great time, boat company easy to find, easy to book and pay online. I only booked the day before and just showed the booking on my phone.

Private Tour - Professional staff, great atmosphere and landscape. Off for a private tour with a bottle of Prosecco onboard to enjoy the sunset of Sirmione. A bit of history with the Roman ruins as well. They were built by Romans 2000 years ago with the idea of exploring the thermal water which is typical of Sirmione. Strongly recommended.

Great bang for your buck - We considered doing a trip from Peschiera Del Garda with a different company on a boat but for and hour it would have cost €140. We were so thrilled to make the decision to drive to Sirimone and find this company. For 50€ we got a 25min boat trip on a lovely, comfortable, fancy boat around the peninsula. We saw the sights, and had the perfect amount of slow sightseeing and a bit of speed to keep everyone entertained We loved going under the bridges. So pleased with our trip.

Trip to Sirmione - A very interesting, historic and quite crowded island to visit, but well worth the crowds. Great restaurants and easy to get to via rail

Nice views of the peninsula - On arrival into the area there are the usual sales people but they are not pushy. We were told of the next excursion and asked to wait until they could get a few more people. Within a few minutes we were passed over to a skipper of a small launch and got on board a weell kept clean craft. The trip took about 25 minutes with the skipper pointing out and explaining certain sites in Italian and English. Very pleased with the short trip.
