What a wonderful way to see Lake Garda. Great tour with Alessandro and the lunch and gelato was amazing.
Alessandro was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who went out of his way to ensure the tour was enjoyable despite very thick fog! Highly recommend.
Alessandro was so knowledgeable about the area and offered so many insights and useful recommendations! We felt stress free as he was great at communication before during and after the tour. I highly recommend this tour!
Alessandro was a wonderful guide. He reached out before the tour to see what we would like to do. The day of the tour he picked us up from our hotel and then we set out to see the sights. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area. So not only did we see beautiful sights but we learned facts that we would have never known about the area. We enjoyed wine and food that was local and delicious. We saw out of the way places that tourists don’t gets to see. It was an extremely enjoyable day!
Hiring a private guide like Alessandro Bassi is by far the best way to enjoy a custom made day to the Lake Garda region. He communicated easily and promptly with us prior to the date so we could better plan the best day for our interests. We chose to stay away from the crowded areas that the group tours frequent and instead visited some of his favorite spots beginning in Verona and then by the lake. We can't recommend Alessandro enough. Our day spent with him was the highlight of our time in Verona.
Alessandro, our guide, was awesome! He was knowledgeable, personable, and asked question's to see what we may want. Our trip was fun! The food suggestions were different and excellent! A fantastic day! Please, ask for him specifically!
Of course, a tour to Lake Garda is wonderful under any circumstances but a private tour with Alessandro took this destination over the top. He took us to many unique sites and provided an entertaining and authentic explanation. Everywhere we went, the locals knew him and embraced us. If you want to tour with a guide who’s passionate about his country, this is your tour! Alessandro, we will return for another.
Our tour was wonderful, full of fabulous scenery and photo ops. Our guide, Emiliano took great care of us and couldn’t have been more gracious.
Alessandro was a fantastic guide. He adapted the itinerary to the very hot weather and to suit our interests. He also took us to some delicious places for food and drink that we would not have found ourselves and recommended plenty of other restaurants to try during the rest of our trip. Thank you!
Great day with much to see, customized to what we had seen before and our preferences. Alessandro was very pleasant, knowledgeable, punctual and flexible. Excellent driver too. Around a great day!
