It was an eventful day. During the bus ride there was interesting and entertaining information about Venice, just like during the city tour. There was still the option of a relatively inexpensive lunch and a gondola ride, but we preferred to explore the alleys and canals on our own. The booked boat trip through the lagoon was also very interesting.

Easy to find and friendly welcome followed by a brilliant tour. We were at 5pm, the last one of the day, so our driver/captain took us all the way round to the other side of the castle!

Nette Führung über die Weinberge, durch den Weinkeller und anschliessend eine Weinverkostung mit einem Snäck und super Erklärungen. Es war toll!

This was a fantastic little cruise that was both informative and fun. Guide was great and my family says it was a highlight of the vacation!

Really fun ride around the lake. Very good thing to do before tasting Gelato in Sirmione.
