    Gabriella was our our guide and where should I begin? Her smile was as warm as the sun and her bubbly personality made my partner and I feel at home. Almost as if our gran was helping us navigate new areas. Could not thank her enough for make our day trip so memorable. The bus was clean and well driven thanks to Franco. The AC blasting was also a classy touch since our Scottish bodies were not accustomed to the Italian heat. 10/10 would recommend.

    The guided tour is exactly what it says on the tin. So from that perspective you get what you paid for. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and that’s what made it value for money and the fact that we knew where we were being dropped off and where to meet. No searching for bus stops as we would have done had we gone by bus. The tour included a short ferry ride from Limone to Malcesine where we spent an hour looking around before we got back on the bus to visit Bardolino.

    This trip was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Gabriella, was incredible. She was highly knowledgeable about the lake and answered all of our questions in detail. She even had the unique ability to make a long 1.5-hour drive feel like it only took 30 minutes by keeping us entertained. While we spent an adequate amount of time at each beautiful stop, the day would have been perfect if the ferry hadn't arrived 30 minutes late. Despite that minor delay, it was a fantastic experience!
