Discover cool things to do
in Lake Garda

We had a wonderful time. Our chef shared many experiences with us. I will use these recipes when I get home

Wow! This was an incredible experience and we can’t speak highly enough of the event. Ida and Stephano are the consummate professionals and made opera something we could learn about and appreciate. Ida has an extraordinary personality that shines through her singing and interaction literally with every single audience member. Stephano is a talent on his own and it was lovely to have sections of the performance where the pianist took center stage. Afterward, we had apertifs and were able to engage and ask questions about their individual musical journeys. It was interesting hearing how Stephano was from a family of bakers and was given a guitar age 10 but the local convent could only teach piano! Lucky for us! We also appreciated the late morning performance as it was a perfect mid day activity that allowed us to continue with the rest of the afternoon. The Palace Calotti was also a great setting. Well worth the price and will do it again of in the area. Wonderful people and a highlight of our Italian journey!! You will be so glad should you decide to add this as a memory to your Italy adventures!

Just loved it! An early start as we were staying in Verona but easily doable to make the 7am pick up. This had been a dream to do for a long time and it did not disappoint. The guide was first class & gave a lot of insights into the area. The driver very skilled on the hairpin bends! The stops were well paced out and took in all the key sights, we all got some spectacular shots.

This is one of the best day trips I've probably done, it was organised well, pick up points were precise, and it was a packed day with real value for money.

A huge thank you to Debora for making our proposal so special. From the first message, she was always quick to reply, helpful and reassuring, which took so much of the stress away. It meant we could just enjoy the day without worrying about anything.She organised everything perfectly and worked with the hotel behind the scenes to make sure it all came together smoothly. Every little detail was taken care of, and the setup was even better than we imagined.Thank you again, Debora, for helping create a memory we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

What a special day we had with Chiara. She is so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about the Castle, Sirmione and the area. With Chiara being born and still living in the area she shared so much interesting information about all things. She also went above and beyond by providing us information about the area before our arrival

Pick up was at a convenient place to our accommodation, and was on time and transported us to Verona in a comfortable air conditioned coach. The courier gave us lots of useful and interesting information enroute. Short walk from the coach parking spot into the main square. Arrived around 10am and had time for a coffee before our 11am tour on foot with an English speaking guide. Also provided with audio sets so that you could hear the guide over other groups. The guided walk was relatively flat and was presented in a lovely manner by the guide. After this we had from 12.15pm until 3.45pm to have lunch and explore the city on our own. Return journey was relaxing with an excellent driver who delivered you to your hotel, where possible. It's a long day from Lake Garda but well worth the effort.

A very enjoyable way to spend time, singing and playing was first rate . The historical background was interesting and we appreciated the olive oil and rose wine.

What an amazing guide. Informative, friendly and very helpful. And with an amazing boat ride as part of the trip. Made our trip extra special.

The tower dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, built in 1880, is visible from the main road, but up close it is even more majestic. We purchased a single ticket for three Risorgimento museums for 12 euros. Just seeing this is worth it all. Inside the tower, one relives the Risorgimento history from 1848 to 1870. It is a leap back in time. There is also an old working telephone with a receiver at the entrance that provides explanations like in the past; otherwise, near the various frescoes in multiple languages, you can scan the QR code with your cell phone and access the explanation. There are also explanatory plaques. Some floors also feature videos, some of which are almost realistic. You ascend via a wooden ramp to the various levels; however, on some, the passage is closed, and you proceed from one ramp to another using about 4 to 5 steps, which I mention for those who have mobility issues. Perhaps individuals with wheelchairs can also access the closed ramps above by asking at the ticket office. Some floors are accessible to individuals in wheelchairs as well. There are no elevators. There is no air conditioning. The lower floors are quite cool and well-ventilated. The last floor before accessing the outside of the tower is rather warm, and I recommend bringing a good fan or a small battery-operated fan if you have one, along with a bottle of water. Each floor has a bench to sit on, so you will calmly reach the top. The view of the landscape from inside overlooking the surroundings is beautiful. However, the exterior of the tower, which is completely in the sun and lacks benches, compensates for the climb with a splendid view of Lake Garda and the Rocca di Lonato, which makes the entire ascent worthwhile. A 360-degree view. On the terrace, there is a lantern that contains the lighthouse that flashes the colors of our Italian flag from very far away. The garden is very well-kept with hedges, and there are hidden bins everywhere among the hedges, plus a small fountain at the entrance. Continuing to the right of the tower, you will find the museum, which has a beautiful display of weapons, cannons, and much more about the various battles of the period. Outside, two benches will provide you with relief. Following the signage, you will find to the right of the museum a vending machine for water and drinks at very reasonable prices, a refreshment area with benches and chairs under cover, with bins, clean restrooms, and another drinking fountain near the tables. A breezy area if there is a breeze and with shade. I recommend taking a break here; bring a sandwich with you and remember to keep it clean; the bins for waste are plentiful. The place is quiet, so no loud noises; you are not alone, and there is also a caretaker. If you feel like having a restaurant or a coffee, you will find it outside, directly in front of the ticket office where you parked your vehicle for free. In case the parking lot is full, do not worry; as you exit the ticket office, next to the ossuary, you will find a large parking area, and then you can take a short walk in the shade to the tower. Extremely kind and competent staff. It takes about 2 hours to go between the tower and the museum. If you take a break, 3 hours may pass without you even noticing. I recommend comfortable shoes; sandals are fine, but no heels for the ladies. I highly recommend visiting it.

Friendly & fun guides & driver. Comfortable bus. Wonderful sites. I appreciated having time to myself for lunch. The early one hour break gave me time to shop for a hat and lighter, linen, shirt to endure the heat of the day better. During the tour I was able to quickly power-shop for a lightweight spacious but packable leather bag in the market without losing the group, to fit the smaller bag I brought plus clothing items. It was mid-June, so hot and it is touristy, of course, I was among them. Food in tourist restaurants is not spectacular, though the olives and potato chips served with the drink order were delicious and tasty. I found a more off the beaten track place - cafe Fama - for a warm polpo and zuccini salad with Kalamata olives. It was an improvement over pasta, pinsa or pizza at the main tourist places. I found another smaller bar with ready bathroom to while away 2 more hours left in the day when it was too hot to wander and I had no more shopping interest.

We really enjoyed the cooking class. There is no better instructor. We had a lot of fun.

Long bus ride but worth it! Remember to bring a jacket it gets cold at the top. Definitely worth the trip

Cons - it’s a very long day twelve hours from pick up to drop off for us (may be shorter on some days) it’s cold at the top take a coat/jumper. Pros - it’s all worth it. It is an incredible trip and every turn was jaw-droppingly beautiful. Just incredible. The coach driver was amazing and Thomas our tour guide was brilliant. Worth every penny even if you don’t like heights!!!

I visited this site, found it very interesting and beautiful; the history of the battle, the history of the area, and of our beautiful country, the view from the tower is fantastic, the museum is very beautiful and interesting, kept clean and well organized. I highly recommend anyone interested to spend an hour or more there. 😍🔝
