• 5Fantastic day

  Fantastic day from start to finish. The coach was clean and smart, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting, and the whole day ran really smoothly. My only feedback would be to let bookers know that they will need to have cash for the gondola and lagoon rides beforehand as although we stopped somewhere with a cashpoint, it charged a hefty fee for withdrawal. It would also be useful to know that the gondola ride is for 4 people.

• 3OK but could do more

  Arranged boat trip in afternoon added nothing to the day. Prepaid tickets to St Marks would be preferable. Tickets on the day were impossible. Disappointing.

• 3Ok nothing special

  It was basically a bus ride to Venice. A little bit of talk about 10 mins in total about Venice. No Air con on the bus made it very warm and people unable to sit by their partners on the bus which was disappointing as it was first come first served so if your last on the pick up list something to be aware of. Venice was ok, very very busy but worth a day trip.

• 1Disappointed

  The tour will not wait if you are late by 5 minutes and communication is limited with the tour guide. Huge regret.

• 1Not worth your time - use only for transportation into Venice.

  It gets you in and out of Venice for the day but other than that avoid! On the coach trip up to Venice you get a constant narration on the speaker - mainly in German! Take headphones. You arrive in Venice for ‘the tour’ are handed headsets and instead of being separated by English speakers and German speakers the groups were mixed. The guide spoke German most of the time and didn’t give the same to the English speakers. When we pointed this out she was angry and rude and continued in German. You are marched through Venice at a rapid pace don’t get to sprang any time anywhere or ask any questions at all. You are called at and what was meant to be a longer tour ends much sooner. It’s not worth your time or money. The gondola ride felt very Disney. Inauthentic and short! No engagement - you are processed. You then have free time to do your own thing - but they scare you on the coach with talk of pickpockets and being ripped off in cafes. There is no charm or honesty in this tour. Although Christina was lovely - it’s not what they advertise it to be! Especially if you are an English speaker.

About Lake Garda

Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake, ringed by mountains in the north, with lemon and olive groves, medieval castles and lakeside towns.

Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, stretches about fifty kilometres from the Alpine foothills in the north to the wide plain in the south, shared by Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino. Mountains plunge into its northern end, while the southern shores are gentle and open. Sirmione, a village on a narrow peninsula, has a moated Scaliger castle and the Roman ruins known as the Grottoes of Catullus, and Malcesine's castle stands on the eastern shore.
