A wonderful day from beginning to end. Giorgio our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and so funny. Verona and Lake Garda are beautiful. The boat ride on the lake was so much fun. It was nice having our own private tour personalized to our needs. Thank you Giorgio for a job well done.

Giorgio the tour guide is the best!

Michael_W, Nov 2023

Did the tour on 11/26/23. Thought both places were a must see. The best part of the tour however was our guide Giorgio! He was informative but also very friendly. We had great conversations about Formula 1 and Ferrari on our long rides - both topics a passion for our family. We also discussed USA a lot since he was trying to become more familiar. I had an injured knee so additional walking was challenging. A huge shout out to Giorgio in making the day more convenient for me.

Unbearable comments ruined two beautiful towns

Susan_Y, Sep 2023

Where to start? The guide constantly making political statements, him constantly checking his phone which had audible notifications on (including in a cathedral where we actually had to tell him to turn it off as it became embarrassing) or his poor attempts at humour. It ruined a tour of what is obviously two beautiful towns. Have been using Viator for over 15 years and have never had a worse tour. The two stars were for the towns themselves.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear customers, I am very proud of having had, with your negative review, my first negative review among all the others. Also among hundreds of customers, there is always a black sheep, thank you very, very much! 1) the guide is a funny person therefore he always makes political statements, especially now that there is the war between Russia and Ukraine everyone is allowed to talk about this war, the guided tour has been carried out in Italy, a free country, not in North Corea! and the guide also talks about other hilarious statements about different matters, because the guided tour is not a funeral but is something happy. 2) about the notification of the guide's phone, there is nothing of embarrassing because the guide is also allowed to talk explaining the main facts about the church, especially because it was not during the mass, and because the guide has to coordinate the job of other guides and can reply to any SMS he is receiving without any problems, without asking the tourists any permission, if you don't mind....This especially is very funny said by tourists that moreover are not catholic and don't know the catholic rules of Italian churches. 3)Embarrassing for the guide was indeed your poor attempts at humour, especially because the tour is in Italy, Italians are happy people and don't behave like "no humour please...". on behalf of the tour guide, the review of this guided about these two tourists, reflects the same bad review that you have written about him. The guide have been using Viator for over 10 years and have never had such a boring guided tour as this one he has had with you. But also for me, the guide, there are bad days. Fortunately, I have been guiding people for several years with no any negative review, and I have appreciated a lot this negative review. Is just a matter of statistics for me. Best regards, Giorgio.

A Day Trip Worth Taking

WDon_C, Aug 2023

We greatly enjoyed our host, Giorgio. He was very knowledgeable and able to give us a very good experience despite great heat and expected tourist crowds in August. We particularly liked Lake Garda—very picturesque.

Knowledgeable guide! Great tour

Michelle_S, Jun 2023

I definitely recommend. Great tour and learned so much about Italy and WWII. Very knowledgeable!! Sirmione was beautiful and I wish we had arranged for a boat tour.

Private Tour

Carol_P, May 2023

Georgio was an excellent guide. We loved the idea of a private tour. Both Verona and Sirmione were beautiful and Lake Garda was a gorgeous color.

A wonderful day

Basz550, May 2023

Very Worthwhile

Bruce_M, Apr 2023

Our guide made the day pleasant and efficient. Sirmione was fantastic and justified a more indepth experience. It was a great day.

Verona and Sirmione, Giorgio made it the best!

Shine_L, Dec 2022

Giorgio was a great guide for our full day trip to Verona and Sirmione. He’s very knowledgeable and funny and has a great attitude for the whole day. He knows many languages and was able to explain a lot in English of what we were seeing. We appreciate his insight because if we went alone, we would not know what we are looking at without Giorgio’s help. He was nice enough to pick us up and this was well appreciated. He was very flexible with our day and let us take our time if we wanted to have a sit down lunch in Verona. We did not feel rushed and he helped us take pictures as well. His car is very clean and the ride felt safe. We were in the car for a good 3 hours. We spent the whole day with him and we felt like we accomplished a lot. We saw a lot of the main attractions (according to Google) in the two towns and are very satisfied. Be prepared to walk about 10k steps for the day, but this was no problem for us. My parents were fine and they are 65+. Thank you Giorgio for this day we will not forget. Merry Xmas!!

Great tour, and excellent guide

Oswaldo_F, Dec 2022

Great tour, Giorgio provided an amazing guided tour and really enjoyed the places, also excellent planning

No hassle city and lake tour

Vivek_M, Oct 2022

Convenient private car trip from Milan. Giorgino picked us from Milan centre and was flexible. He has great knowledge of history and various things in Veronna, Sirmioni and Milan. This tour is perfect if you want to keep your base as Milan and covered cities around it without any hassle of car driving parking etc.

Simply the best…tour guide

RichardHenley, Oct 2022

The tour of Verona was exceptional, but our tour guide was amongst the best. His knowledge of history was amazing

One of the best tours!
