Sirmione & Verona, Lake Garda, Private Tour From Milan

Places we visited were beautiful, however, the guide was not up to the standards I've been used to in other Viators.

We had a wonderful experience on this private tour to Sirmione, Lake Garda and Verona with Giorgio. He is quite a character—funny, entertaining, and full of personality—which made the long day even more enjoyable. Giorgio is an excellent driver and a very knowledgeable guide, especially when it comes to the history of the places we visited. We learned a lot while also having plenty of fun along the way. It was certainly a long day, but we enjoyed every part of the experience and felt it was absolutely worthwhile. Giorgio’s energy and sense of humor made the tour truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a private tour with great historical insight, a safe driver, and plenty of laughs!

Giorgio was very nice and knowledgeable! He showed us great places to stop for pictures and food! He knows a lot about European history, culture, politics, and cars! Really appreciated the time he took to guide us through all the places even in the heat. Thank you Giorgio!

A great guide makes all the difference! Georgio, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable, funny, and sensitive to our needs. He made the trip truly enjoyable!

Our day was fantastic. Georgio was very professional and had an extensive knowledge of the areas that we visited. He picked us up on time and explained our day. We made stops along the way. He supported us with finding a nice place for lunch and was friendly and energetic.

We had a great day with Georgio. He was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. He didn't rush us and made it a point to show us the highlights and other interesting sights. We definitely got our money's worth on this tour!

It is a place full of history and quite popular due to its mention in the movie Call me by your name! Elegant, clean with very beautiful architecture and streets!

I was apprehensive at first since I was a solo 17 year old traveler but Giorgio made this experience amazing!! He is very funny and very knowledgeable and I learned a lot!! I was also very happy that he has able to amoral Spanish and had an amazing time in both sirmione and Verona. I will be recommending this trip to others. Thank you so much for the experience!!

Great places to see. Fun boat ride. However, the day wasn't engineered right, and we were really hungry for much of this long tour despite requests. Make sure to talk about lunch time beforehand. Hangry and walking a lot don't mix well.

Wonderful day tour without any stress !our guide ( Gorgio) was very professional and knowledgeable! Visited many places in a day, which was great!

It was an amazing trip honestly! Giorgio was such a gentleman and made sure to explain everything is details and show me around. Highly recommended

Amazing tour and amazing guide Giorgio He was on time and very knowledgeable and funny and since this was an individual tour he customized it for us per our request

The scenery was amazing and our guide Giorgio was very knowledgeable about the history of each place

We went coming from our quiet hotel to go over to Sirmione and see the Scaliger Castle and Maria Callas house. We took our bicycles but you cant take them with once you pass over the peninsula. Then the march began. It was hugely populated by visitors and tough to get through. So we skipped on the castle and started going uphill. You need to be good at foot. A trolley can take you it cost a bit but we took it down later on. Once going up to the Grotte di Catullo it was super crowded. We also passed the entrance. So be on the look out. Its about a 30min. hike uphill. We stayed for a refreshment but for us it was too crowed so we started the descend and finally taking the trolley. The city is as well overcrowded but beautiful. We will try to catch a hopefully slower time of the year next time we go. But the view is terrific and you should go. But be prepared for the crowed.

Private tour for the price of a bus tour. I was quite late in booking a day tour to Verona and the Bus tours were all sold out. luckily I found this Private Tour. Giorgio was our driver/guide. He knows a lot about Verona and Sirmione and had a lot of stories to tell. We saw other group tours being herded to Gulieta's house then diapersed for some free time, but with Giorgio we went on a slow paced walk around the vibrant City of Verona. In Sirmione we had some good Gelato and walked around the city, down to the lake. Started at 9:30am and we were back in the City 8PM.

Well timed, good informative knowledge, personable and genuine interest in the people he was speaking to. Would tour with him again

Loved being picked up and dropped off at our hotel, so convenient. Tour guide was great, funny and knowledgeable- enjoyed Lake Garda, had time for the kids (12 and 10) to swim in the lake which they loved and the water was beautiful and warm even at 9am! Tour guide asked if we could start earlier as it was a Sunday and swapped the itinerary around to ensure we could go all places with less people about, which worked out well for us!!

We enjoyed the day we spent with our driver and the wealth of knowledge he had about Verenna and Kake Garza.

Giorgio was a phenomenal tour guide! He was extremely accommodating of our family’s needs and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. Without him, we would not have been able to find a fraction of the amazing sights he brought us to in Verona and Sirmione. We are very grateful for his time and would be eager to book another tour with Giorgio!

Fabulous day out with Giorgio. He fit so much into one day while entertaining us with the culture and history of Verona and Lake Garda and Italy overall. We were amazed at his knowledge of languages and how different local histories culminated into todays Verona and Milan. He went over and above. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out with him.

Did the tour on 11/26/23. Thought both places were a must see. The best part of the tour however was our guide Giorgio! He was informative but also very friendly. We had great conversations about Formula 1 and Ferrari on our long rides - both topics a passion for our family. We also discussed USA a lot since he was trying to become more familiar. I had an injured knee so additional walking was challenging. A huge shout out to Giorgio in making the day more convenient for me.

Where to start? The guide constantly making political statements, him constantly checking his phone which had audible notifications on (including in a cathedral where we actually had to tell him to turn it off as it became embarrassing) or his poor attempts at humour. It ruined a tour of what is obviously two beautiful towns. Have been using Viator for over 15 years and have never had a worse tour. The two stars were for the towns themselves.

We greatly enjoyed our host, Giorgio. He was very knowledgeable and able to give us a very good experience despite great heat and expected tourist crowds in August. We particularly liked Lake Garda—very picturesque.

I definitely recommend. Great tour and learned so much about Italy and WWII. Very knowledgeable!! Sirmione was beautiful and I wish we had arranged for a boat tour.

Georgio was an excellent guide. We loved the idea of a private tour. Both Verona and Sirmione were beautiful and Lake Garda was a gorgeous color.

A wonderful day from beginning to end. Giorgio our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and so funny. Verona and Lake Garda are beautiful. The boat ride on the lake was so much fun. It was nice having our own private tour personalized to our needs. Thank you Giorgio for a job well done.

Our guide made the day pleasant and efficient. Sirmione was fantastic and justified a more indepth experience. It was a great day.

Giorgio was a great guide for our full day trip to Verona and Sirmione. He’s very knowledgeable and funny and has a great attitude for the whole day. He knows many languages and was able to explain a lot in English of what we were seeing. We appreciate his insight because if we went alone, we would not know what we are looking at without Giorgio’s help. He was nice enough to pick us up and this was well appreciated. He was very flexible with our day and let us take our time if we wanted to have a sit down lunch in Verona. We did not feel rushed and he helped us take pictures as well. His car is very clean and the ride felt safe. We were in the car for a good 3 hours. We spent the whole day with him and we felt like we accomplished a lot. We saw a lot of the main attractions (according to Google) in the two towns and are very satisfied. Be prepared to walk about 10k steps for the day, but this was no problem for us. My parents were fine and they are 65+. Thank you Giorgio for this day we will not forget. Merry Xmas!!

Great tour, Giorgio provided an amazing guided tour and really enjoyed the places, also excellent planning

Convenient private car trip from Milan. Giorgino picked us from Milan centre and was flexible. He has great knowledge of history and various things in Veronna, Sirmioni and Milan. This tour is perfect if you want to keep your base as Milan and covered cities around it without any hassle of car driving parking etc.

The tour of Verona was exceptional, but our tour guide was amongst the best. His knowledge of history was amazing

This was an amazing experience! Tour guide Giorgio made this trip one of the best in Italy! Thank you

Our guide George was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. We had a great day and this tour (and George) are highly recommended!

Our guide Giorgio very helpful. Great walk. We could walk Calm and calm. We've seen it all.

The guide told the whole history of the places we visited. But Juliet's house was closed. We left the freedom to choose whether we wanted to do something extra or go back somewhere again.

MUY entretenida la Ruta Comodidad total Y a nuestro ritmo Es muy recomendable, y al volver nos ayudó a encontrar la parada del bus del día siguiente
