I liked the fact that Sirmione was easily accessible, which would otherwise be more difficult to reach. I didn't like that the guide Amato didn't explain important things like where to go. He only gave a recommendation for where to eat. He didn't mention typical dishes either, only that Sirmione served the largest tub of ice cream. Still, he was willing to answer questions. And it was a great option that he was in both languages, although he spoke more in English than in Spanish. The driver Max was excellent.

It was fabulous. Although it was rainy most of the day, the tour was worth every penny! The sites were amazing, great balance of structured and free time! Highly recommend.

The guide was very friendly, gave us time to learn the history of the places, free time to wander around and enjoy. I loved the guide ☺️

It was perfect one day spent from Milan. If you are looking for one day trip from Milan this is the best.

Andrea was a great guide. Klaus was a great driver. Sirmione and Lake Garda were truly beautiful.
