Details
The infinite beauty of Italy's largest lake is awaiting you thanks to our boat trip around Lake Garda with swimming & light lunch. During these unforgettable 4 hours, our guide will tell you everything you need to know about the most famous places on this immense body of water. We will sail toward the North, passing by some of the most beautiful places on the lake, such as Bardolino, Punta San Vigilio with its famous Baia delle Sirene, and then head to the west, where we will find the island of San Biagio.
We will continue our journey down south and when we pass by Sirmione you will admire from the water the Scaliger Castle, with its fascinating dock and the Caves of Catullus, the most important Roman domus in northern Italy. To complete the experience, you will also be served on board a light and vegetarian lunch.
You can enjoy jumping off the boat and swimming in the cool waters of the lake, during a break of approximately 20 minutes and finally ending the tour when you get back to the port of Peschiera.

It was a pleasant day on the ship, nothing spectacular, but relaxing and informative.
I'm only giving it three stars because it was advertised as a four-hour tour, but it ended after just over three hours.
The food, which is sometimes criticized, was okay considering what was available on the ship.
