From the guide

If you are in Verona for a few days and want to experience Lake Garda beyond its scenic views, this day trip is the perfect choice.

Travel with your guide to Sirmione with comfortable minibus, and start with a guided walking tour of the historic old town.

After the tour, you can choose the optional guided visit to the Grotte di Catullo, exploring one of northern Italy’s largest Roman villas and a panoramic lake viewpoint few travelers reach.

The experience continues with a scenic boat ride across Lake Garda, from Sirmione to Lazise, offering unique views of the lake and surrounding towns.

In Lazise, enjoy some free time to explore at your own pace before returning to Verona in the late afternoon.
