It is a safe bet for the comfort of the trip and the quality of the service. In just 7 hours you can enjoy a lot.
A fabulous trip and one not to be missed. Our guide, Romina, was excellent - knowledgable, enthusiastic with a sense of humour.
A very enjoyable day. Tour director Romina took very good care of us. Very knowledgeable and amusing at times.
Wonderful tour, with free time in Lazice and Sirmione. The ferry ride was great, but the private boat tour of Sirmione was just okay, not a lot of photo ops of the castle from the water. Perfect length of time.
Felt there should have been less time Lazise and more time at Sirmione. I would have liked to visit the fort and the museum. After walking to the end and back there was not time for either. A special mention of the bus driver - she was really an exceptionally safe driver
An excellent one day tour of Lazise, Lake Garda and Sirmione. Our tour guide, Martina, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She seem to go out of her way to explain things and show us around. The small group is a bonus and the tour is good value.

We enjoyed this tour very much, our guide Romina Origiani was very nice and could tell us a lot about both the beautiful surroundings and the history of the towns we visited and the sites we saw. The bus was comfortable and so was the boat
