Everything was good. The only thing I can think off was the coach the afternoon pick up was a few minutes late, but I expect this was because it had parked up elsewhere and came at the last minute as the coach park was nearly full at Sirmione. We did wonder if we at gone to the wrong place but luckily we hadn't.

Excellent insight into the town’s around the lake and the lake’s history. Even the rain didn’t have much of an impact on the experience. The guide and driver were brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Last stop we were only there 45 minutes and nothing to see or do,felt like we were just dropped off at each place to just look in shops and spend money in them on expensive items,will say tour guide was superb but a lot of info got lost in translation,not worth the money reallly

The actual experience was good, we are glad we got to see all parts of the Lake but we did not think the stop at Salo was necessary- Limone would have been nice. The guide however, seemed drunk and when us and others were waiting for the private boat in Sirmione she was 15 minutes late. She managed to get us on a boat but I can’t help thinking this was rushed as the others had left at the right time. She also failed to realise two members of the trip were missing! Until someone made her aware.

A great trip covering a large part of the lake with some good amount of time in each place along the route of the tour. The tour guide who we had on a previous tour was still a let down. She arrived late again. Very unorganised. Confused the meeting places with her poor communication and left two passengers behind for a while as not keeping a record of numbers. Confused everyone over the optional extra trip add ons and got the money all mixed up. She was a nice lady but totally unorganised.

The tour was excellent. The mini bus was very comfortable and the driver and guide were friendly and professional. We stayed about 2 hours in Garda. Just long enough to get a feel for the place The ferry ride to Sirmione was very picturesque. It was very busy and very expensive. We had the option to do a boat ride with the guide to see the springs and the castle and Roman villa. It was a short boat ride but great fun. The driver then picked us up and we headed for Salò. Very enjoyable.

We were expecting a boat trip ! this was more like a couch trip with a little boat ride . we were very disappointed not how it was explained at all , also i thought we were supposed to be stopping off at Limone and we didnt , not enough time at any of the stops , all rush and no substance.

Fabulous trip with lots of information provided from our guide. Picked up from Riva at 8.25am and arrived in Garda just after 9. Free time to wander and have coffee. Then boat trip to Sirmione with more free time and lunch. We opted for an extra boat trip…12 euros each for half hour trip round the bay…well worth it. And then back on the bus to Salo for some chill time with a seat on the waterfront with a dessert ice cream and an Aperol Spritz. Just bliss and home to Riva for approx 6pm.

We enjoyed the tour of the lake and the information given during the tour. We would change how long the day was - it wasn’t clear to us before going on the tour what time we would return. Also we would have more time in Limone and maybe less in Sermione. We were too hot and tired by the time we arrived in Lazise, lots of people on the bus sat in the park instead of walking into the town as it was too much by that point.

Garda and sirmione were very good. Once we left sirmione it went downhill. Salo was a waste of time and effort to walk there. Most of it was closed, only place really open was the cathedral. Also thought limone was included.

Loved the itinerary and such amazing value for the distance travelled and the lovely places we saw all around the lake. Comfiest coach seat I've ever had and unlike some reviews, I didn't find the time spent on the coach too long as it was broken up by three stops and a ferry ride. Even the last leg of the journey to Riva after Salo wasn't bad at all as the scenery was fantastic, even in the rain! Would definitely recommend if you don't have much time or a huge budget to explore on you own.

It was a well organsied trip with a good balance of using the coach and the lake ferries. It gave a good all round view of the lake and its main towns, and of the various road tunnels edging the lake. The coach, the driver and the guide were all excellent. The only thing you could not organise was the weather, but the rain did not spoil the day.

Our guide Tomas was excellent as was our coach driver very safe on those tunnels between Salo and Riva. I have done this trip many times and enjoyed it every time but as a returnee like many others on the trip we do continue to do the same destinations each time Garda/Bardolino Sirmnione and then Salo, those are excellent and since the tour is run atleast twice a week could you have 2 versions one doing those towns and another doing Torre ********** Benaco, Lazese, Pischeira or Decenzano please.
