Review of the Peschiera Lake Garda cruise, with lunch, swimming, scenic stops, guide quality, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Lake Garda is beautiful and tranquil. The crew was awesome, especially the captain/tour guide. It turned out to be a little chilly (18 May), so we didn’t get to experience a swim, but understand these things happen. Would do it again in warmer summer months.”

“I thought you would get entry into the arena included in the trip.”
Review of the 25-minute Sirmione peninsula cruise on Lake Garda, with castle views, Roman ruins, practical tips, price advice, and booking details.
“We enjoyed the ride around the beautiful lake. It’s a short ride, but it fit perfectly into our schedule. If you go on a Sunday in the summer, allow an extra hour to get through the traffic and to find parking. We expected to arrive early and see the beach but we were 20 minutes late for our cruise due to traffic and lack of parking, but they happily accommodated us for the next cruise. We would definitely take this cruise again.”

Review of the 11-hour Dolomites tour from Lake Garda, with Pordoi Pass, Ortisei, cable-car tips, costs, stops, and practical advice.
“We left before daylight on this very long bus trip from Desenzano, del Garda. But, even before we boarded the bus we enjoyed gorgeous pre-sunrise views. The gentleman running the tour was very sweet natured, extremely informative regarding the history of all the areas we passed, and perhaps a bit verbose. We made a morning stop in a great little cafe with reasonably priced cappuccino and croissants. So delicious I went back for seconds on both. It’s a long trip, very long — some of the towns we stopped in were touristy end of little interest to me. But as we drew closer to the mountain peaks, the views became…”
