Itinerary

Your tour begins at Piazza Bra in Verona

Meet your guide beside the Vittorio Emanuele II Statue in Piazza Bra, right next to the famous Verona Arena.

Escape through the sun-drenched Veneto countryside

Settle into your seat and unwind as vineyards and cypress-dotted hills unfold beyond your window. The scenic drive north toward Italy's largest lake offers a peaceful prelude to the sparkling waters ahead.

Glide across the crystalline waters of Lake Garda

Board your private boat and drift around the Sirmione peninsula with a dedicated captain. Gaze up at the medieval Scaliger Castle rising from the shoreline and sail past the ancient Grottoes of Catullus clinging to the cliffs.

Lose yourself in lakeside Sirmione

Wander narrow cobblestone lanes lined with pastel-colored buildings, duck into boutiques selling Italian leather and ceramics, or sink into a chair at a waterfront café. You'll have an hour of free time to soak in this gem at your own pace.

Savor an authentic spritz back in Verona

Relax on the return journey south viewing the beautiful countryside our your window. Once you arrive in Verona, you'll settle into a local spot to taste an authentic Italian spritz, the perfect way to toast your afternoon.

Your tour ends at Piazza Bra in Verona

After your spritz tasting, your guide brings you back to the starting point at Piazza Bra. Head off to explore Verona's romantic streets or ask your guide for dinner recommendations before saying goodbye.
