We flew from our local East Midlands Airport to Venice Treviso Airport, to begin our Riviera coach tour of Lake Garda, Venice and Verona. Super hot and sunny weather greeted us as we landed and swiftly made our way through, to be greeted seamlessly by Kate, our guide for the duration. A five minute walk across a car park led us to our coach for the onward journey to our chosen hotel….the Savoy Palace at Riva del Garda. There are a variety of hotels to choose from and we were very happy with ours. Lovely food, friendly and entertaining staff and very clean. The hotel is set back a 10 minute walk from the lake shore and a casual, scenic, 30 minute walk to the lovely old town. Over the the following days our knowledgable and personable guide Kate, ably supported by our driver Stefano, took us on memorable tours around the lake top spots, the Dolomites, with beautiful scenery and stunning Alpine villages and towns, a bucket-lister Venice tour, taking the optional and wonderful Gondola ride at a steal of a price. With rest days in between, Verona was a fitting and beautiful city to finish with. As with Venice, a 45 minute guided tour to the hotspots left plenty of time for exploring, refreshments (Aperol/Spritz is a must ) and getting to know your fellow travellers. All in all, a wonderful tour with great hosts and likeminded explorers. Recommended.

The lake Garda and Sirmione town were phenomenal and should not be missed on this experience. Our guide and driver, Francesca, was fun and very conversational and knowledgeable about the region. Lunch in the countryside was fantastic and the tortellini best we have ever tasted. Verona, despite the rain, was charming and our guide was personable and enthusiastic about showing us her city! Highly recommend this experience.

Totally wonderful day!! Francesca is a knowledgeable, informative, very pleasant excellent driver and host!! The boat ride on Lake Garda is fun and scenic. Lunch was delicious at La Botega di Borghto!! Benedicta led the tour of Verona - she is a top 5 tour guide anywhere. Her love and knowledge of Verona shine through! This is a totally enjoyable full day tour!!

We really enjoyed this tour. We were staying in Venice and this was a great way to see the surrounding area. Francesca was a great guide and answered all of my kids questions. The tortellini for lunch was the best I've ever had. and Francesca introduced us to some great Italian wine! After lunch, we really enjoyed discovering Verona with Isabella.
