The bus ride to Verona and Lake Garda was quite comfortable since there were only eleven of us on the day trip. Marcela, the guide, was very knowledgeable and explained the logistics of the meeting place and time. The weather was also nice. In Verona, we were able to tour Juliet’s house and balcony without the queues and the big crowd. Our tour guide in Verona (Andrea) was quite knowledgeable about the history of Verona. The amount of time at both places was enough to explore and enjoy both places.

It was a very nice day trip from Milan. Lovely Verona and Sirmione on Lake Garda were worth visiting. I was very satisfied with the guide, I learned a lot about the places visited. Everything went smoothly and it was great that there was enough free time to explore on my own. Thank you again for a great day! I definitely recommend it!

Christmas surprise for my parents, hugely surprised. For a first tasting, they simply loved it and thanked me several times. Lots of choice of wine and a good plate to share.

Good tour! It is a small winery so you know you are getting authentic wine. The people that work there are very family orientated so we appreciated that a lot.

Alessandro was very attentive. A great guide. Very good
