About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring three lakeside towns on the northern shores of Lake Garda. Start in Malcesine, where a medieval castle overlooks pastel buildings stacked against the water, then drive to Riva del Garda for its promenade buzz and mountain-backed setting. Finish in Limone, famed for its citrus groves that tumble down to the lake's edge. Private transport, bottled water and air conditioning included; you'll have proper time to wander each village.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to Malcesine first, where the castle dominates the skyline and narrow streets reveal lakeside cafés and small shops. From there, it's a scenic drive north to Riva del Garda, a busier hub with a working harbour and lakeshore walk—good for lunch if you bring cash. The final stop is Limone, a quieter village where lemon terraces frame mountain slopes above the water. Expect roughly 3 hours in each location, with driving time between stops. The route hugs the lake's edge throughout.
Good to know
Bring cash or cards for meals—nothing's included. Wear comfortable shoes for exploring hillside streets. Sunscreen and a hat are essential; shade is sparse in village centres. Specialist child seats and prams are available. Parking fees are covered; public buses run near the departure point if you need alternatives.
