If you are spending a few days in Verona and want to understand why Lake Garda is much more than a scenic backdrop, this Sirmione and Lake Garda Tour from Verona is the perfect choice.
The tour starts in Verona, where you meet your guide and travel together with the group towards Sirmione. The logistics are taken care of, so you can simply enjoy the transition from city to lake. Once in Sirmione, the experience begins with a guided walking tour of the old town. This is not just a peninsula reaching into the lake, but a strategic settlement with over two thousand years of history.
After the guided visit, you will have free time in Sirmione to explore independently. During this time, you can choose to book the optional guided visit to the Grotte di Catullo, an experience that adds real depth to your day on Lake Garda. The guided visit also takes you to one of the most panoramic points on the peninsula, a viewpoint that few travelers reach on their own and that offers a completely different perspective on Sirmione and the lake itself.
If you prefer a slower pace, you are of course free to enjoy Sirmione on your own, but this option is ideal for travelers who want to turn a beautiful place into a meaningful experience.
The tour continues with a boat ride from Sirmione to Lazise, following the coastline and offering a different perspective on the landscape that made this lake an important route long before it became a holiday destination.
In Lazise, you will enjoy free time to explore independently. This charming town holds an often overlooked historical detail: it was one of the first free communes in Italy, with its own written statutes dating back to the Middle Ages. Today it is an ideal place to stroll through small streets, browse local shops, or relax along the waterfront.
In the late afternoon, you return to Verona.
