About this tour
An 11-hour day trip from Milan combining Lake Garda's waterfront beauty with Verona's medieval character. You'll cruise the Sirmione Peninsula by private boat, passing lakeside estates and limestone cliffs, then explore Verona's compact centre on foot—Romeo and Juliet's balcony, Roman amphitheatre, and piazzas included. A bilingual guide handles logistics while you soak in views from both water and elevated vantage points across the region.
Highlights
- Private boat glides past Sirmione's clifftop castles and waterfront villas
- Swim-friendly stops along the peninsula's shoreline
- Verona's medieval streets, including Juliet's balcony and Roman arena
- Elevated viewpoint delivers Lake Garda panoramas in one frame
- Air-conditioned transport throughout; flexibility to linger where you choose
- Bilingual guide (English/Spanish) included in smaller groups
What to expect
Pick-up in Milan around dawn for the drive south. The boat portion takes 2–3 hours; expect calm lake conditions most days, with opportunities to photograph villas and jump in clear water at designated points. Your guide provides historical context without overwhelming the mood. Verona's second half involves navigating cobbled streets at your own pace—the guide points you toward key spots but doesn't march you through every room. Bring sun protection and comfortable shoes. The viewpoint visit is brief but photogenic. You'll return to Milan by early evening.
Good to know
Meals are not included; pack snacks or budget for lunch in Sirmione or Verona. The boat may feel choppy in wind, and those with back or heart conditions should reconsider. Strollers work fine on Verona's main routes but struggle on narrow medieval lanes. Hotel transfers aren't covered—arrange your own to the Milan departure point.
