Sirmione and Lake Garda Day Trip from Verona

Start your adventure in Verona

Your tour begins at the end of the Scaligero Bridge next to the medieval Castelvecchio Castle. You will meet your expert guide and board a comfortable minibus for a scenic one-hour drive through the Italian countryside toward the southern shores of Lake Garda.

Cruise around the Sirmione peninsula

Next, you will board a boat for a 30-minute cruise around the narrow Sirmione strip. You'll see the 13th-century Scaligero Castle from the water and pass the Grotte di Catullo, which are the ruins of a massive Roman villa built over 2,000 years ago.

Walk the historic streets of Sirmione

Then, follow your guide on a walking tour through the pedestrian-only center of Sirmione. You will learn about the town’s history as a strategic military outpost and a luxury thermal spa destination while passing through its flower-filled squares and narrow stone corridors.

Enjoy free time by the lake

After the guided walk, you have 90 minutes to enjoy Sirmione at your own pace. You might choose to browse the high-end boutiques, grab a quick bite at a local cafe, or even take a refreshing dip in the clear lake water at Jamaica Beach.

Cross the water to Lazise

By the afternoon, you will board your private group boat for a relaxing transit to Lazise, a town known for its well-preserved medieval walls and harbor. This short journey offers a different perspective of the lake's vast blue expanse and the surrounding mountain foothills.
