My husband and I toured Lake Garda in Mirco and Christina’s handsome and well designed boat. Mirco is very warm and friendly, also very passionate to provide their guests a good experience. He carefully thought of features and design of the boat to ensure his customers will have a convenient and good adventure around the lake. We requested sometime to swim in the lake and he took us to a nice and safe location to enjoy sometime in the water. You could tell that they take pride and utmost care of the boat which we truly appreciated. While touring the lake, there is a recorded history played in the background but Mirco also provided and offered additional tidbits of information. He was very pleasant and stopped at photo op spots offering to take a few nice photos of us while drinking our bubblies. When we return with our family, we will definitely look for Christina who is in charge of booking and reservation. Highly recommend Bee Boats experience if you are ever in Salò.

I would give a 0 star rating if I could. I booked the Cosmopolitan Milan excursion through Tui who use Europlan. I got to where I needed to be for the coach, we were supposed to leave at 9:15 so I arrived five minutes early. I waited until 9:30 and the only person to stop for the whole time was a taxi that said Sirmione on the side, the driver said something in Italian, presumably asking if I'd ordered a taxi? and drove off. If that was it he was gone, but I was expecting a proper coach for a 'coach trip', not a questionable looking taxi cab with a driver who can't even speak English! On an English speaking tour! I texted the Tui rep who, as it turned out, was in the building just next door so he came out to speak to me. He got on the phone with Europlan and told then I was where I needed to be, and on time. He could only say he did not know how but I have missed the coach and they can't come back for me. I had planned my holiday around this excursion, I have two more booked with Tui before I go home (also with Europlan) and this has thrown out my faith in you!!

We were completely blown away by Damiano and Bertoldi Boats. We booked a private, 2 hour sunset tour and it was fantastic from start to finish. Damiano took the time to tell us all about Sirmione and surprised us with some sparkling wine and a small platter of delicious food. The boat itself was immaculate and very impressive. We will 100% be booking this when we return in the future and would recommend to all.

We booked a private tour of sirmione online, the process was easy and as it was private we were able to leave 30 minutes before the allocated time. We saw others on the joint tours and felt having the boat to ourselves was fully worth it. Best seats going, our captain Alex was great. Good commentary and took photos for us. Great day out!

It was perfectly organized and Francesco was the best guide you could ask for! They picked us up on time and the bus ride was comfortable and fun. We had enough time to discover Venice on our own but also booked the Laguna Tour which was very interesting. I would highly recommend to bring sun screen or a hat if you go during summer.

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!

10. Lake Garda: among lakeside villages and the islands

Book Your Italy DMC

Salò is one of the best known destinations of lake Garda, a protagonist of present time and even of the past: between the Medieval and the Renaissance age it was the head of a strong federation of lakeside villages, while during the last years of World War II its name was gloomily linked to the Italian Social Republic, a fascist state actually ruled by Nazis. Indeed, the town centre hosts art and architecture treasures, such as the "Magnifica Patria" Palace, built in 1542 and the 15th century church of Santa Maria Annunciata. This private tour will allow you to discover these wonders, throught a pleasant walk lead by a guide, then to spend an amusing time cruising around the nearby islands: Isola del Garda and Isola dei Conigli. Don't forget your swimsuit, there will be time for a relaxing bath!

Inclusions: Qualified private guide, Private cruise on a taxi-boat, with a skipper at disposal, Spare time in navigation, for a relaxing bath

Exclusions: Gratuities, Lunch
