Lake Garda, Venice & Verona

After breakfast, join your guide for a short walking tour of Riva. Following this, you’ll board a private boat for a unique sightseeing tour. Your first stop will be at Limone, a small village backed by lemon groves, with waterside cafes and cobbled streets lined with shops. Afterwards, with fantastic panoramas and a spectacular mountain backdrop, travel onwards for a visit to picturesque Malcesine, famed for its medieval Scaligero Castle. The boat will then return to Riva del Garda, but if you wish to stay on, you may return by public bus or boat later in the afternoon (this will be at your own expense). If remaining in Malcesine, we recommend a trip in the cable car which will take you 1,800 metres above sea level, with spectacular views.

Please note that this schedule refers to summer season only, and is weather-dependent. During winter months, there will be an excursion to Bolzano, in the scenic southern Tyrol.

For holidays based in Limone or Malcesine, a coach transfer has been arranged from your hotel to Riva del Garda, where there will be a short walking tour and some free time before beginning your boat tour.

Today, you will have a full day to relax and enjoy Lake Garda’s charms. Shop, sightsee at your own pace or sit by the lake and take in the incredible views. You can take a water taxi across the lake to explore at your leisure and your local guide will be happy to suggest activities to suit your interests and advise which highlights are a must see.

Let’s embrace the beauty and charm of the Italian Alps on this delightful optional tour. We’ll feast our eyes on green, unspoiled mountainsides, dotted with tiny villages that are unchanged since medieval times. A highlight of the afternoon is the included wine tasting among the vineyards, where a warm local welcome awaits us.

Please note that optional excursions are subject to minimum numbers. Booking pre departure is advised.
