The cruise was wonderful. We went all over the lower half of Lake Garda. The captain was very helpful and friendly and made sure all the guests were happy and taken care of. He pointed out many attractions and explained about them. The boat stopped in a beautiful spot for swimming and spent an hour in Salo. My family had a great time. I definitely recommend this!

Great boat tour of lower lake

Sean_C, Aug 2023

Great trip. Very scenic. Stopped in Salo for 1 hr - nice Lakeshore and less crowded than Sirmione. Nice Prosecco and snacks. Swim stop was refreshing. 4 hrs is perfect amount of time to cover much of the highlights of the lower half of the lake. Canvas covering on the way out and open top on the way back.

Great fun and definitely worth it!

Victoria_H, Aug 2023

A great way to see the lake with an informative guide and a glass of Prosecco! It was also lovely to see a little of another town on the lake.

Beautiful trip

Mark_B, Aug 2023

What a great trip, you will not be disappointed. Our boat had 12 of us and a great and entertaining captain. Recommended

Brilliant trip with lots to see. Great host who made the trip come to life. Played good music and made us all laugh.

Great day out!!

Julie_H, Jun 2023

The driver of the boat was really fun, we all had a great time. We were provided with tapas and booze, had a swim and stopped in salo.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Julie, thank you! We wait for you soon in Sirmione for another amazing tour! Cheers, GT

Great experience!

Mindy_M, Aug 2022

It was an amazing afternoon! Will definitely do it again next time we’re in the area! The tour guide was so much fun too!

Good fun

Brian_M, Jul 2022

The captain was great fun, lots of prosecco and snacks. The scenery and stops we’re all amazing. Would definitely try if you’re looking for a boat trip on the lake.

Fantastic way to gain a sense of the lake.

Barbara_M, Jul 2022

Friendly pilot, prosecco, and a chance to swim. Canopy on boat on a very hot day, excellent. Maybe a little more information on what we were seeing would have been nice. Overall a very good experience.

Afternoon boat tour

Catherine_C, Jul 2022

Ignored request

Anne_T, Jul 2022

When the offer of snacks was on offer. Was asked if there was special requirements. Those requirements were outlined then ignored, which spoilt the day, as no snacks or food was available for the 4 hour trip. They would have been better off to tell me it was unavailable

Response from Host, Jul 2022

As already explained to this "kind" customer, our main business is to offer boat tour. During some of our tours we also offer aperitif on board to let our customers enjoy even more the time on board and give a better service. The snacks are standard and the same for all the people, and it not supposed to do any change on it. And this is clearly stated on the inclusion / exclusion on Viator notes. You asked for a vegan and celiac option, but this was not possible. As we already told you we offer boat tours, we do not offer restaurant service. In any case the snacks were available for all the customers on board, it was your choice decide to not eat. You said that the fact of not having vegan snacks negatively affected the success of the excursion, and you asked for a full refund of the excursion which obviously we could not accept. This is undoubtedly an exaggeration. Next time we recommend you to book a lunch in a restaurant rather than a boat tour.

Awsome tour in garda lake

mauricio_v, Jul 2022

Espectacular tour, awsome views and y very well planed tour through the lake. A very nice chance to swim in the lake and an incredibly gracious boat driver. Ask for stephano and you will have a great trip for sure

The Only Way to See Southern Lake Garda

John_B, Jun 2022

This is an exceptional tour. The boat is the perfect size for touring the southern end of Lake Garda. Our captain/tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. The food and drinks provided on board is a great part of the tour. Don't forget to wear you swimwear for a quick dip in the lake. This cruise was a highlight on our extended trip in Tuscany.

Nice tour

Mary_M, Jun 2022

Beautiful views of Lake Garda from the boat. We expected more of a tour on the lake. They took us down to the tipi for the peninsula, then across to the lake, where we disembarked for about an hour, then went back to the dock. We would have loved to see more of the lake rather just the few points they showed us. Overall, it was nice.

The perfect escape on a perfect Lake.

Anonymous, Jun 2022

The beauty of Lake GARDA , the entertaining captain of our boat, the wonderful food and Champaign. We had such a wonderful day exploring and seeing the Villas and cliffs and the town of Sola. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Cancelled due to bad weather!

Passenger779815, Aug 2019

Just one hour into the boat ride, the weather was really bad and we had to return to Sirmione! We got soaking wet but everyone was safe!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Good afternoon! The weather condition wasn't good that day, so we had to come back to Sirmione for safety reasons. Unfortunately the weather is out of our control, and we have the responsibility of the people on board. As explained you can ask TripAdvisor to be refunded.

JULIE H, Oct 2017

We had such a lovely afternoon with Ivan! There were 10 adults and 4 children the quietest I have every come across on this trip and it was idyllic - possibly because the weather was also perfect. We had 2 glasses of prosecco during the trip, which added to the enjoyment! It was exactly as described and exactly on time - start and finish. Great fun.
