Lake Garda & Venice

This eight-day Escorted Tour offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty of Northern Italy, combining the tranquil shores of a world-famous lake with the historic charm of the floating city. Based in the picturesque village of Limone, our Lake Garda Venice tour provides a perfect balance of organised sightseeing and well-earned relaxation for Irish travellers looking for great value and high standards. This is a straightforward holiday designed for those who enjoy the convenience of everything being taken care of, from direct flights to local transfers.

Your home for the week is the four-star Hotel Splendid Palace, which is ideally situated overlooking the azure waters. Limone itself is a former fishing village that has retained its traditional character, with cobbled streets and ancient lemon houses providing a lovely setting for a stroll. During your stay, you will enjoy half-board accommodation, meaning both a hot and cold buffet breakfast and your evening meals are included. The hotel also hosts a weekly Gala Dinner, allowing you to sample a variety of local flavours and enjoy the warm Italian hospitality.

The itinerary is carefully planned to showcase the region’s absolute highlights. A dedicated Lake Garda tour takes you around the perimeter of the lake, including a scenic boat trip to Sirmione. Here, you can explore the ancient Roman ruins and the impressive medieval castle at your own pace. Another significant highlight of the holiday is the full-day excursion to Venice. You will travel by coach before taking a private motorboat along the Giudecca Canal, eventually reaching the iconic Rialto Bridge. With free time to explore the boutiques and cafes that line the narrow canals, it is a truly memorable part of the experience.

When you are not out exploring, the Hotel Splendid Palace offers excellent facilities to keep you comfortable. You can spend your leisure days lounging by the outdoor pool, which is surrounded by citrus groves and offers panoramic views across the water to the Monte Baldo mountains. For those who prefer a quieter afternoon, the indoor pool and sauna are available for further relaxation. Throughout the trip, our experienced resort managers are on hand to offer local advice and ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. This Lake Garda Venice tour represents a factual, high-quality way to discover the best of the region with a trusted team supporting you every step of the way.
