Sirmione is a wonderful place to visit. The drive northbound on the spit as you seemingly drive out into the lake is quite full of tourists, enjoying the walking, biking, and water activities. Be aware that parking is very limited here. We found a spot and walked up to the blue umbrella as described in the tour. We were a few minutes late and our kids had not changed into swim suits. No matter. Our guide, Fabrizio, was patient and got us all into the boat without a hitch. On the boat ride, he pointed out historical and geographic features. The vinyl seats on the boat were very hot. Although it is nice to sit out in the sun on the ride, I recommend putting the top up to cool the seats. We went almost to the north side, saw some wonderful private islands, including Isola Del Garda where we drank the bottle of Prosecco. It was quite a wonderful time. We returned within 2 hours. This was just the right amount of time. Thank you Garda tours and Thank you, Fabrizio!
