    Our guide was a lovely mature lady I Thibk her name was Gabriella. She was very friendly, had a lovely way about her. The information she shared was second to none and made the trip so interesting as well as educational. She knew so much about lake Garda and spent so much time all around the lake sharing her knowledge

    Knowledge and information provided by Gabriella was excellent she was professional and friendly. We had adequate time spent in all 3 locations which was perfect for a day trip. It provided us with a great insight of the lake and where best to travel in the future and make recommendations to our family and friends. The only downside was that I sustained a very large and painful bruise on my shin from a device the stuck out in between the seats on the coach, a forewarning would have been benefici

    The trip was advertised as a boat trip but we were only on the boat for 20 mins and spent over 3 hours on the bus. The bus air conditioning wasn’t working properly either. Whist the places we visited were lovely we only had limited time as the bus was an hour late arriving. No sign of the rep so my husband had to go into our hotel to find out what was going on. The last place we visited was a waste of time as spent 1 hour there and then had to sit on the bus for over 2 hours to get back.

    Visiting different places. Our guide was very informative. Loved the boat trip. A pity we didn't have longer in Malcesine as there were places we would have liked to visit but ran out of time. There wasn't much time in Bardolini either so we just went for a drink. We had about 3 hours in Limone so had to have lunch early as there wouldn't be time later. It may have been better to have just a little less time in Limone and a little more time in the other places or at least in Malcesine.
