My friend and I had a fabulous day out (12-4pm) on this trip. The compare asked us what languages we spoke and then he gave a running commentary in every language fluently! We had lunch , which was a bowl of pasta in tomato sauce, which was fine and we could choose a drink from the bar. We went along the lake Garda and then stopped at an appropriate spot for us to get off the boat and swim . The weather was hot and this was really most welcome. There was a short platform for people to jump or dive into the water or if you were oldies like us (in our 70’s) there were steps you could go down. We all laughed and played in the water with the boats floats, great fun . It was a brilliant end to a few days in Verona, we had been to see the opera on Sunday and finished our holiday with this trip. Really lovely thanks .

From the start to the end of the boat ride it was great. We were a little late due to traffic, we used the message facility to let them know and they held the boat for us. The boat ride itself was great, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery from points of view we not be able to otherwise. We had plenty of time to swim from the the back of the boat in cool lake. On the way back the skipper allowed children to take to the wheel and those inside the boat could sit on the outside front of the boat safely and enjoy the stunning views.

Great experience. Especially swimming in the lake was incredibly beautiful. The pasta was also tasty and there was enough of it. There could have been a few more explanations about the places, but there is nothing more to complain about. Everything was super organized. Can recommend it unreservedly!

A very nice day and highly recommended. Gigi is super nice, explains a lot and the food was delicious. My little one (7) was even allowed to drive himself, which was of course a highlight.

Great trip out on Lake Garda, swimming, sightseeing and relaxing.
