Spend a day soaking up the scenery surrounding one of Italy's most popular lakes. Passing olive groves, cypresses and grand villas, stopping off at pastel-hued towns and enjoying a short boat trip along the way. The northern shores of Lake Garda offer dramatic mountains rising behind pretty lakeside villages such as Limone and Malcesine.

Your first stop will be Sirmione, often hailed as the lake's most beautiful village. Here, you'll have an hour to soak up its charm before the journey to Limone. Spread around a bay with an exceptionally mild climate, it's undoubtedly one of the most scenic spots along the lake. The town is a gem, full of character and pretty views.

Next, we’ll take a scenic boat trip from Limone to Malcesine, our last stop, an impressive medieval village crowned by a castle. You'll have an hour or so here to explore the maze of narrow streets and absorb its history.

It's advertised as the original Lake Garda boat trip. In truth its one crossing in a boat from, one side of the lake to the other the rest is spent on a coach. If it wasn't for the tour guide who was incredibly funny and I would have asked for my money back. These tours are great for first time visitors who get a snap shot of places to visit.
Great day trip around the lake

Highly recommend this tour.Having taken the crowded public bus to Malcesine a few days before this was far more relaxed and comfortable. We expected more time on boats but that was down to us not reading the itinerary properly. The added €12 for a boat around Sirmeone was well worth it as we saw more than those who walked. The tour guide Yo, was excellent and gave us lots of information about each town we passed through and the history of the lake itself. Time flew by in each town so plan to shop, sightsee or eat carefully.
Enjoyable way to see many of Lake Garda's resorts and towns.

It's a lovely bus trip with a short boat ride invluded! We thought by the description and map that it's a day-long boat trip. We had an amazing day around Lago di Garda, learned A LOT while sitting on the bus, thanks to our wonderful coach, Karen.
A long but brilliant day

I booked the tour with TUI prior to arrival on holiday. We were picked up from the bus station in Garda at 8am and picked a few more people up from Bardolino along the way. The first stop an hour or so later was in Sirmione and we had just over an hour here. Sirmione is beautiful and well worth the visit, you do arrive however before most of the shops open but you can still find places to eat and get coffees. Back on the coach for two hours to arrive in Limone before lunch time. Again a stunning place but very narrow and crowded around the ferry port, so only knows what high season would be like. We caught the ferry here to Riva before meeting the coach again to Malcesine. We had another hour or so here before the coach back to Garda. It was a long day but so well organised, our guide was great and it’s a fab way to see all the other resorts around the lake. I would highly recommend booking and think it’s cheaper to do this before you go rather than booking with the reps when you are on holiday.
