Lake Garda
Why Lake Garda?
A truly spectacular destination where stunning mountain ranges meet the serene Lake Garda, all bathed in Italian sunshine. The Lake Garda region, nestled between Venice and Milan, offers a variety of exciting excursions and memorable experiences for your group. Take a boat trip to the beautiful town of Malcesine and catch a cable car up Mount Baldo for spectacular views over the lake, or visit Verona to see the impressive amphitheatre and walk in the footsteps of Romeo to Juliet’s balcony.
Picturesque lakeside towns such as Torbole and Sirmione offer your group great shopping opportunities as well as fantastic ice creams! With an array of natural gorges and waterfalls to explore, combined with visits to Gardaland (Italy’s biggest theme park) and Caneva World (Italy’s biggest water park), this area really has something for every member of your tour party.
