The tour with David was excellent and gave us a great insight into Sirmione - both the sights seen by tourists and the hidden, authentic older parts. I would recommend the four hour tour that included the Grotte Di Catullo. I felt very privileged to have such a bespoke visit to this awesome Roman Villa. Highly recommend.

Very nice little community. Great service with Ca Maiol Prosecco (not cheap sparkling wine) and super tasty pizza bites. Stephano is an entertainer under the sun. Well done, thank you very much. I can highly recommend the 4-hour tour

Franco was a magnificent host. He was informative and made the day a lot of fun. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The drinks and snacks and the music were perfect accompaniment to a great day.

The boat went super fast which was great fun and then the swim stop in Bardolino bay was fab - Carlos was a fab guide - would thoroughly recommend 😀

Great entertaining guide. Hard to hear at back of boat sometimes. Mini speaker??
