What to expect
Your driver picks you up from your Milan hotel and drives you to Verona, where a multilingual guide leads you on foot through the old town's Roman and medieval sights. You'll have time to wander independently, shop, and grab lunch before an aperitivo break. Then it's on to Desenzano for a ferry ride across Lake Garda to Sirmione, a clifftop town with narrow cobbled streets, local bars and shops, and two major landmarks: a 13th-century castle and an early Christian chapel. You return to Milan by car, arriving late afternoon or early evening.
