Excursions and visits
Lake Garda (included); Evening Cruise on Lake Garda (optional). A perfect way to introduce yourself to the ambience and charm of this lovely area. Our excursion around Lake Garda will visit some of the most picturesque villages which nestle on the shore. From Sirmione, we enjoy a cruise to Gardone. After dinner at your hotel, take a romantic evening cruise by private motorboat across the lake from Riva del Garda to Limone Sul Garda. A glass of spumante will be served during the cruise. You will have time in Limone with its charming old fishermen’s houses, lemon groves and narrow winding streets (perhaps enjoy a gelato, the delicious Italian ice cream) before returning by boat to Riva del Garda.
Venice (optional). No visit to the north of Italy is complete without a visit to Venice. Enjoy the famous sights including St. Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the Dodges' Palace.
Bolzano and the Renon Pyramids (optional). Accompanied by our guide, we drive through the Adige Valley to the charming town of Bolzano, the ‘little pearl’ of Italy’s Süd Tirol with its Gothic cathedral and narrow cobbled streets. See perhaps as well ‘Ötzi’, the famous ice mummy in the Archeological Museum. We climb aboard the area’s longest cable car for a panoramic journey to Soprabolzano. Switching to a quaint old train, we then travel through forests and fields, admiring the views of the surrounding peaks of Latemar, Catinnacio, Marmolada and Sassoplatto. Upon arriving at Collalbo, our coach takes us to Longomasso. From here, we walk to the famous earth pyramids on the Renon plateau (note-not suitable for people with walking difficulties), before returning by coach to our hotel. Note – if you do not wish to take the cable car you can travel by coach to Collalbo.
Verona (included); Verona sightseeing (optional). The fine, historic town of Verona is famed as the setting for Shakespeare's romantic tragedy ‘Romeo and Juliet’. On our guided walking tour the many charms of the city will be brought to life; admire the 1st century Arena, home to the prestigious Verona Opera Festival, which dominates the main square and the fine palaces, churches and monuments, adorning its alleyways and squares.
