Spend the day visiting some of Lake Garda's shoreside villages on this full-day guided tour. Your coach will stop first at Limone, famous for the lemon groves dotted around, as well the lemon-coloured houses near around the lake's edge. Then, you'll sail across to Riva del Garda on a short boat trip, for a wander around the Medieval-era town centre, before your last stop at Malcesine on the opposite shore. Here, you'll have time to check out the 13th century castle overlooking the lake, and see where the area's 15th century Venetian rulers used to hang their hats at the Palazzo del Capitani building.

We enjoyed the trip, however we were disappointed as we did not get the boat trip as the boat had technical issues. Also we would have enjoyed more time in Malcesine.

We didn't get to go on the boat part because it was broken and although this was out of the guides control and he did what he could to carry on the tour, we felt disappointed and at the end of the tour we were on the motorway for quite some time so didn't see the last part of the lake tour. Not sure if that was to make up lost time.

Really good guide, Orlando and driver, Marco. Time in each town was disappointing though. 2hrs in Limone, 20 minutes in Riva del Garda and 1 hour in Malcesine. There was no time to a feel of the last two towns or consider the attractions open.

The overall trip was extremely rushed from start to finish. Heavy traffic in the tunnel on the way to Limone- the coach was in the stationary before entering and inside the tunnel for over one hour. This had a negative impact on the overall trip, one hour in Limone! - rushed through the streets by our tour guide who was very stressed, ushered everyone along extremely fast, then to a restaurant where this was obviously planned so as to get in as many people as possible. Riva only 20 minutes!!!

The towns we visited were beautiful the disappointing part was on our way to Limone we got held up in traffic in one of the many tunnels for approximately 1.5 hours which meant we only got an hour free time instead of the 2 hours we were supposed to of had. Which meant a choice between eating or looking around the town. Apparently this happens quite often this time of year. Had we had known this before hand we may have decided not to take this trip and get the ferry direct from Sirmioni.
