Great day out. The guide Francesco was excellent, very informative and good fun. We saw and learnt a lot about the towns on the lake. The boat trip from Garda to Sirmione was great and was a change from travelling on the coach. The coach was comfortable and the driver was excellent.

Rudi the guide was friendly and informative. He was aware of the needs of the group and found shelter from a hot sun before talking to us. His instructions on meeting points were spot on . Matteo the driver did a great job

I found that the last stop in Salò was just too much with this tour and the extreme heat. The boat trip round Sirmione the 30 minute extra one was well worth doing. The guide we had Karen was excellent and very knowledgable.

We enjoyed the tour of the lake and the information given during the tour. We would change how long the day was - it wasn’t clear to us before going on the tour what time we would return. Also we would have more time in Limone and maybe less in Sermione. We were too hot and tired by the time we arrived in Lazise, lots of people on the bus sat in the park instead of walking into the town as it was too much by that point.

A great way to get a snapshot of the whole lake, one thing the tour is on a Monday only and the main attractions in Sirmione are closed on a Monday.

Garda and sirmione were very good. Once we left sirmione it went downhill. Salo was a waste of time and effort to walk there. Most of it was closed, only place really open was the cathedral. Also thought limone was included.

Loved the itinerary and such amazing value for the distance travelled and the lovely places we saw all around the lake. Comfiest coach seat I've ever had and unlike some reviews, I didn't find the time spent on the coach too long as it was broken up by three stops and a ferry ride. Even the last leg of the journey to Riva after Salo wasn't bad at all as the scenery was fantastic, even in the rain! Would definitely recommend if you don't have much time or a huge budget to explore on you own.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, Karen our guide was really helpful and had a vast amount of knowledge about the places we visited. It was a packed trip but definitely worth doing, the boat trip to Simone gave wonderful views and showed different areas of the lake. The day had been planned extremely well.

The whole trip was really good. The tour guide and driver were both brilliant. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Everything was well organized. The only thing I would change is I would rather have stayed in Sirmione longer and not stopped at Salo.

This is a very enjoyable trip first part is via bus to Garda where you pick up the boat then it’s sailing along the lake past various villages until you reach Simione. Thete you have plenty of time to look around before getting back on the bus now to Salo. Time to explore there then coach back to your drop off through the tunnels. Our driver was excellent considering what he had to negotiate through the narrow roads and tunnels. Our biggest praise goes to our guide Karen she was excellent

This was a really good excursion and gave us a good overview of the whole lake. We started in Riva and went along the lake to Garda where we had some free time and then all got on the ferry to Sirmione with our guide. In Sirmione we had the option of doing a 30 minute speedboat tour which was great fun and only 10 euros each and then we had time for lunch before getting back on the coach and travelling back via Salo on the other side of the lake. Our guide Karen was excellent - thank you!

It was a well organsied trip with a good balance of using the coach and the lake ferries. It gave a good all round view of the lake and its main towns, and of the various road tunnels edging the lake. The coach, the driver and the guide were all excellent. The only thing you could not organise was the weather, but the rain did not spoil the day.

Our guide Tomas was excellent as was our coach driver very safe on those tunnels between Salo and Riva. I have done this trip many times and enjoyed it every time but as a returnee like many others on the trip we do continue to do the same destinations each time Garda/Bardolino Sirmnione and then Salo, those are excellent and since the tour is run atleast twice a week could you have 2 versions one doing those towns and another doing Torre ********** Benaco, Lazese, Pischeira or Decenzano please.
