What to expect
Your skipper will navigate a smaller vessel around Sirmione's narrow peninsula, offering water-level perspectives of the Roman villa's carved stone remnants and the imposing medieval fortress overlooking the bay. Back on land, you'll stroll through the town's compact old quarter before joining your guide for detailed tours of each monument. The pace is relaxed—expect some standing and gentle walking on uneven paving. Lake views punctuate everything you see.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes for cobbled terrain. The boat section is sheltered but exposed to weather; check conditions beforehand. No meals included, though cafés dot the town centre. Accessible for most fitness levels, though narrow medieval streets present minor obstacles.
