After lunch, you'll rejoin the coach and head to Bardolino, your final stop, known for its wine, olive oil and scenic charm.

    Did the trip limone, malcesine and bardolino, it was a lovely trip but seem to spend to much time at Limone so by time we get to Malcesine we only had just over an hour, but we said we would have lunch there as Limone was too busy, so didn't have time to look around, if we knew we had little time to start we would have got something before or on the boat, a little the same at Bardolino, but we didn't need to eat there but still only an hour so not really much time to look around

    Brilliant tour to navigate Lake Garda and sit back and hear all the history from the lovely tour guide 'Mary Poppins' with her umbrella. Had 3 stop offs with time to explore and a ferry trip included. It would be better to try balance time at 3 locations. Limone we had over 2hrs and Malcesine only 1hr and Bardolino again just around hour. Overall highly recommend - relax with no worrying about connections and visiting 3 of the key towns ❤️ one word 'Amazing'

    Our guide Yanis was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. The coach was well driven too. We had a good taster of the villages and the boat trip was fine. My sister and I are 74 and 76 years old and we did find the trip a bit tiring.

    Guide was friendly, helpful and informative. Coach wasn’t great - seat belts were stuck/couldn’t pull. A ceiling panel fell down and landed on my head. Curtain rail at the back of the coach wasn’t screwed/attached and rattled all day. Could have done with less time in Limone and more time in Melcsine/Bordolina. Could do with information before booking about how much time is spent on the coach and which at which it’s sensible to have a lunch break.
