Hassle free way to visit Lake Garda - This is the best way to visit Lake Garda from Verona. Alessandra was a wonderful guide and made the experience very enjoyable. There is often traffic getting into Lake Garda, but our bus driver navigated us to the parking lot quickly (so much easier than if we tried this on our own). The tour started with a short boat ride followed by a walking tour. It was the perfect amount of information and gave us a good lay of the land. There was more than enough time to explore Sirmione after our guide left us in the town. We sat down for a relaxing meal and had plenty of time to shop, get gelato, explore the beach, etc. We did not feel rushed and would probably say we almost had too much time and were ready to leave 30 minutes before the pickup time. I would highly recommend this tour as it's a great way to experience Lake Garda without the hassle!

Our guide Alex was so... - Our guide Alex was so informative and she was very pleasant. She gave us good tips for our free time. We were thinking about going into the water at jamaica beach, but it was a little crowded. Overall we had a nice day.

Stress-free way to enjoy Garda - I booked this tour largely for the convenience of getting to Lake Garda as a solo traveller without a car. I know there are other reviews that say it's much cheaper to self-organise, and I would say that if you want the luxury of not planning all the details or tracking train schedules, this tour is a good alternative. Having a private boat tour meant we could take photos at our leisure and I appreciated the free time in Sirmione because I was able to independly choose what I wanted to do - Grotte di Catullo - while others preferred to go to the beach. Stefano was an engaging guide and he made the effort to answer questinos about things that weren't necessarily related to the our, like how to get Verona Opera tickets.

Superb trip, stunning location, great value - Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide Isabella was amazing, such a lovely, warm and friendly lady who was very knowledgable about the area. Sirmioni is just stunning, the village is so picturesque. The boat trip allowed us to see the peninsular and we had a walking tour followed by time to ourselves.

Great value and well organised. - A really enjoyable and relaxing day! The guide, Stefano, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He allowed everyone space and time to explore as well as providing some history and interesting stories. Although busy, Sirmione was a pretty tourist location. The minibus and boat ride were well organised and convenient. All in all, a very successful and good value day out. Would highly recommend!

From Verona to Sirmione, one of the most interesting points on the edge of Lake Garda. - Well organized, friendly Guide, a small tour to spend a pleasant day and arrive on time from the festival opera. And Sirmione is well worth it, for the beauty of the place and for the historical heritage.

Overpriced & Low Value - If you don’t want the hassle of planning your own trip and transport, this is for you, but just know that this all can be organized on your own for a fraction of the cost. The train (€5 from Verona) and boat (€12 for adult) you can pay on your own to get out there. We thought the value would come from the knowledge of the guide and all the information but it was pretty standard things that you can easily find online yourself. We wouldn’t recommend this and regret spending the money on it.
