What people are saying about Lake Garda

This was a lovely tour and the time allocated to each area visited was perfect. The optional boat tide was refreshing and we were very lucky with the weather and our tour guide Salvatore who gave us a lot of information about the places visited and more. The bus for this tour was very new and clean and also we loved the stop on the way in Bauli.

Nice experience, along a very varied journey through the vineyards and countryside of the area, arriving in places with a breathtaking view ... and the use of e-bikes makes the activity relaxing and not at all tiring Tasting at the end of the tour ... top! Absolutely to try

This was a great experience. The trike was comfortable, the views were amazing. There are lots of opportunities for great pictures. Our guide was friendly and patient. If you’re considering doing this when you’re in the Lake Garda area we would highly recommend it.

Well planned tour. The guide was knowledgable and a safe driver. The wine tour gave a lot of information and the wines were good. The lake was beautiful.

A wonder little village, very pretty waters. I wish we had more time and stayed longer!
