Overview

Discover the beauties of Garda Lake with a private guide at your disposal from Milan. Escape from the crowded city and jump into the peacefulness of the lake.

Visit Italy’s largest Lake, with its picturesque landscapes rich of historical heritage and charm. Get the train from Milan to Desenzano Del Garda and then enjoy a boat tour to Sirmione with its beautiful Roman villa and the Grottoes of Catullus (Grotte di Catullo) independently.

After the tour you'll have free time strolling around the narrow streets and time for lunch. Your guide will take you to a famous Ice cream cafe where you can taste the authentic and delicious Italian made gelato, if you prefer we offer you a glass of wine instead of gelato.
