Really great guide (Marta) and same for the driver (Carlo I think, not sure). Very approachable, she explained everything well, everything was on time and as per the schedule. I would recommend it
Marta led a great day., patiently helping us get tickets to sires in Verona. Her instructions were clear. She was informative. And she was friendly and nice. All in all a terrific day thanks to Marta.
Dalia are tour guide was awesome she showed us all the nice places and the day was perfect. Both Verona and Lake Garda were beautiful. Long day but very worth it
Tour guide Camilla was a non engaging guide who catered to Spanish people. She would not accommodate slower walk for elderly in the extreme heat.
I love tours that give you plenty of free time and this one did. The bus was air conditioned.... bliss! Francesca was a fantastic guide. She was very patient and explained a lot of things, pointed out all the places to go and have a lot of information about the places we visited without overloading us with facts and figures. A great tour!
This was a very long day with a long bus ride to Verona from the train station in Mestre, Venice. The AC on the bus is not very good and it was hot. It was a very hot day and there was no reprieve from the heat when getting on the bus. The tour (which I didn’t realize) was in two languages English and Spanish (kudos to the tour guide) but that means everything was said twice and with all the talking and thick accent it made it hard to catch all the information. There wasn’t enough information on how the day would go and we ended up wasting time eating lunch in Sirmione instead of going and seeing the town. We only had 1 hr after the boat ride. So we didn’t get to experience the town at all. Wish there was less time in Verona and more in Sirmione. After we were told that we should have eaten in Verona, wish we knew that before hand. So the itinerary could be better explained. The tour guide was very friendly, but with so many people on the tour and being a bilingual tour, it didn’t feel as organized as it could have been. I would probably not do this tour again and instead just take the train or bus to Verona or Sirmione to have more control of your itinerary and time where you want it more.
Horrible guide Dali. Disrespectful. She tried to leave some members of my family in Verona because they were 5 minutes late! A real shame because the tour was good. A good guide or bad guide can ruin the total experience!
Pick up additional travelers in Verona - have to go back to Verona from Lake Garda to drop off travelers before returning to Venice - adds additional unnecessary time to trip
It was supposed to be a nice pleasant trip to wonderful places like Verona and Sirmione (Lake Garda) but our group had a short stay in Verona to meet a second group of twenty scattered travelers lost in the center of Verona. It was a mess and we lost almost one hour to gather this group of 20 people and at the end there were only 16 because 2 did not show up and 2 got lost on the way to the bus. I would rate 5 stars for the places we sent and 1 star for the travel agency for not organization of the group leaving them alone instead of sending a lead travel guide.
Tour was to be 8-81/2 hours. I got to meeting spot on time. 8:15. Returned back to spot 8:20 pm. Total crap. Extra dumb stop back in Verona. Waste. Should have just stayed an extra hour the first time. People moved items In saved seats. Not cool. Tour guide gave me bad information on meeting back at bus. Not cool. Verona Beautiful. When you sign up for a 8 hr tour and turns into 12, I never would have signed up. Not worth my money or time. To see Verona, splurge for a train ride and take the double decker bus. 12 hours and 4.5 of sights. Crappy description and bad guide. I was lied to by Viator.
The tour is well organized and professional. A great guide, a good bus and driver, nice people on board. The visit to Lake Garda and Sirmione is very nice. However, you won't have enough time to visit Verona. If you are interested in this city, take a different tour. If you just want to have a look, then it's perfect. This depends on your preferences, not really on the tour.
The tour guide was great. The trip was a very interesting and informative. The boat ride and exploring new places was the best.
We had a fantastic tour guide who was very well spoken and shared a lot history of the places. She also assisted above and beyond with an issue we came across . Your help was much appreciated.
The sites were fine but the trip was planned for 8 hours and it was actually 11 1/2 hours to return to our pickup point. The guide was great but we visited Verona twice to pickup and drop off another group. An Unnecessarily long day.
Excellent everything and coordinator Dali and her partner always attentive to the group, giving recommendations and her explanation was wonderful of all the places we went. Thank you.
The excellent guide. The places visited very nice BUT little time to get to know and visit them. Very running in both places.
They cancelled my tour the day before, less than 24 hours. So we left on the scheduled day. we didn't have time to look for another tour.
We left Mestre early in the morning and the day was really nice. First stop Verona, which I really liked: the Arena is impressive, and seeing Juliet’s balcony live always has an effect. The city is well cared for and you get around well on foot. After lunch we went to Sirmione, on Lake Garda. The place is very nice, full of tourists, but worth it. The half-hour boat ride was the best moment: seeing the castle from the lake and the Roman ruins was really impressive. A nice mix of culture, landscapes and relaxation. I recommend this trip!
