The best way to see Lake Garda - I was in Italy with my family for 10 days and we all said this cruise was one of the highlights. The tour guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable, with shade and sun options, and they had water for us which was nice. The break to taste some wine in one of the little towns was a great little stop and Lake Garda itself is stunning. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour around the southern part of Lake Garda with a great captain. - This was the highlight of our Italy trip, especially for our 10 year old daughter. The captain let her "drive" the boat while he poured prosecco for the passengers. Swimming in the lake was perfect, and we also made friends with some of the other passengers. Perfect way to escape the daytime crowd in Sirmione.

Experience to do - Experience definitely to do. 4-hour trip between the green and blue of Garda Nature. Our captain Silvio was really nice and prepared, so much so that he made us avoid a storm with a skillful maneuver flanking the storm. Obviously do not underestimate the refreshments with Prosecco and excellent bakery products. To be redone.

Superb Experience - This day cruise was so scenic and relaxing! Our captain was so much fun, he stopped for us to swim, played whatever music we wanted and made sure we had enough Prosecco! We stopped at another post to shop for an hour before heading back to see more historical sights. Highly recommended!

A fabulous day on Lake Garda. - We really enjoyed the beautiful villages & interesting history like the place where Mussolini lived from 1943 - 1945. Franco, our skipper was exceptional with his knowledge as well as being a brilliant host, ensuring all were well looked after with snacks & drinks. He was a lot of fun, too. The final highlight was back in Sirmione where we all ducked as we went under the drawbridge of the Scaligero castle. A fantastic day out, many thanks to Franco. We were most impressed.

A sensational 4 hours On Lake Garda - Treat yourself to this 4 hour trip On Lake Garda from Sirmione. It was a beautiful day so of course that added to the experience. The boatman takes you along the shores, close in to see beautiful homes, little islands and other points of interest. Stops for about 15 minutes in the middle of the lake(clear waters) to enable anyone who would like to have a swim. Afternoon tea of small tasty Italian savoury pastries , Prosecco flows or beer soft drink or water. An hour to wander the village of Solo then back to Sirmione. I could not recommend the afternoon enough. Tip make certain you take a cap and sunscreen.

Afternoon Boat Tour - A boat tour around the Sirmione peninsula is a must. We were able to see and learn so much more than we would have had we only stayed on land. Baby/child friendly as well.

Nice tour over the south of Lake Garda - Very nice tour, great bathing experience, 1h 15min time to stroll in Salo. Pizza snacks and prosecco more than sufficient.
