Organised, well informed, relaxed, perfect! - We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Davide - a group of 12 of us - he guided us SO well. He’s organised ( but relaxed) and judged everyone’s appetites for facts/recreation so sensitively. We took a boat trip around the lake with him, went up to the roman ruins on the little land train and he skilfully lead us through the town through the fascinating ( and less crowded) back streets. I’d highly recommended him- and just a note, this is not the only place that he guides- We’re hoping to look around Brescia with him next time we’re in the area.

Highly recommended - This was a great tour. Davide is very knowledgeable and showed us places that we would not easily have found on our own. Sirmioni was very busy but he kept us away from the crowds and was able to show us some hidden gems and share local local knowledge.

Relaxing, Friendly and Informative - Due to an unfortunate injury to our proposed tour guide, we (my wife and I) were asked if we would mind moving our trip time to the afternoon, which we agreed to. As a thank you, our guide, Chiara, took us on a boat tour with a couple from Australia (Deb and Nick) and no other guests. This was a real bonus as we saw the VERY crowded other boats and that would have been unpleasant in the very strong heat (around 34°C in the shade). Chiara was an excellent guide and after the boat trip we went on a guided tour of the old town and finished off with a drink and snacks in a tavern where we all had a nice chinwag before leaving. A very pleasant excursion, with great company and a top guide
