Available Tours

During the booking process, you can select from different cruise options on Lake Garda:

Cruise on the Eastern Shore of Lake Garda

Meet us at the scheduled time at Piazzale Porto in Sirmione to board the boat for a scenic journey across the renowned Lake Garda, one of Northern Italy's jewels.

While sailing, you will be surrounded by the beauty of the lake's natural environment and glimpse historic fortifications along the shoreline, such as Scaligero Castle and Lazise Castle. With the help of an audioguide, you'll discover the significant defensive history of these impressive structures.

As we navigate between the regions of Veneto and Lombardy, our first stop will be in Bardolino, where you can explore for an hour. Here, a local restaurant will welcome you with a selection of appetizers paired with three glasses of wine.

After this delightful break, we will return to the boat and continue the cruise, passing by Garda and Punta San Vigilio. For those interested, there is an opportunity to stop by Villa Canossa for a refreshing swim in front of this neo-Romanesque estate.

After four hours of exploration, we will return to the original docking point.

Cruise on the Western Shore of Lake Garda

We will gather at the designated time at Piazzale Porto of the Scaligero Castle to embark on a cruise from Sirmione that allows us to discover the western shore of Lake Garda.

The first highlight will be the villa of renowned opera singer Maria Callas, perched atop a hill overlooking Sirmione. Following this, we will arrive at the tip of the Sirmione peninsula, home to the historic Catullo Grottoes, which have origins dating back to the late 1st century BC and the early 1st century AD.

We will then make our way to the Rocca di Manerba promontory, where you can optionally take a brief dip in the lake's clear waters. Proceeding onward, we will reach Salò, where we will spend an hour allowing time to explore the town's historic center.

Back on board, we will sail towards Gardone Riviera, where a toast with a glass of prosecco awaits as we admire the surroundings. The next point of interest will be the iconic San Marco Tower, a prominent landmark on Lake Garda.

As we return to Sirmione, we will observe the Boiola spring from the boat, noted for its therapeutic benefits. Before concluding the voyage, we will navigate around the walls of the Scaligero Castle, passing beneath the drawbridge, the exclusive pedestrian entrance to the peninsula.

After an invigorating four-hour experience, we will return to the starting location.
