What to expect

Immortalised in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Verona holds a special place in lovers' hearts. You'll get to fall in love with the city on this day trip from Lake Garda, seeing all its main sights as you wander around the history-steeped streets of its old town. Elisabetta, one of our expert local guides, says, “Verona is not just a backdrop for romance; it's a living museum shaped by Romans and Medieval rulers.”

Your guide will show you around, pointing out highlights such as the Roman Porta Borsari and the Roman arena – used every summer for an opera festival. There are also some truly historic bridges over the River Adige as well as a world-class collection of Medieval churches and basilicas.

You'll also see the exterior of the Scaliger Tombs – five Gothic mausoleums for the Scaliger family, nobles who once ruled over Verona. And you'll discover the monumental Piazza dei Signori, location of the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Antica and surrounded by palaces which have witnessed stories of judges, rulers, and poets who shaped Verona's history. In the centre there's a statue of Dante Alighieri who was exiled from Florence, but welcomed here in Verona. Next, take a look around the Piazza delle Erbe, then there'll be free time for lunch and shopping.

The tour guide on the coach was very good, but when we got to Verona our male German guide was not very informative , he kept giving us his opinion on Romeo and Juliet, ie he was insinuating he didn’t believe in them, and left it up to us to believe in it or not I also felt he was talking to us like school children having a history lesson. Then after the tour he quickly collected the ear piece device, and left in a hurry without saying goodbye. I also believe we could have done the trip cheaper

It was good but a bit overpriced. The walking tour and the walking to the centre from the bus was too fast for us in our 80`s but the guides were caring and gave clear information.

City guide who gave the tour wasn't very engaging. Time on bus a lot longer than expected and not an 8 hour day.

There was plenty of time to explore and get to know the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative and went at a nice pace so the group was all together.

I enjoyed the whole day. We didn’t do the walking tour as we wanted to explore ourselves. Plenty of time to see what we wanted and have lunch. The only downside was the coach. There was no leg room, the seats are too close together and as we were the first pick up we was on the coach 2.5 hours. There was no service stop on this trip, and it doesn’t have an onboard loo.

Bolzano and Renon tour with panoramic train ride

Bolzano and Renon tour with panoramic train ride

South Tyrol is the most un-Italian part of Italy. It's not just the Alpine location that sets it apart but its languages, architecture and culture. This excursion mixes the best of both worlds with time in the regional capital, Bolzano, and scenery-rich train ride through the Renon plateau. Martin, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The railway was first opened in 1907, and originally incorporated a cog section ascending 1000 metres from Bolzano, but in 1966 that section was replaced by the original cablecar.'Bolzano, or Bozen as German-speaking locals call it, is the elegant and prosperous capital of South Tyrol. With your free time in the city you could visit the Gothic cathedral, take a walk along the Talvera Promenade for views of the mountains from the riverside, or you can stroll the handsome streets and piazzas of the city, browse the shops and try some local specialities like apple strudel.And on the next leg of the trip, you'll hop into a cable car in Bolzano and ascend to the Renon plateau in a matter of minutes. Then it's time for the narrow-gauge train journey though pastoral landscapes and pretty villages. A 20-minute walk away through nature are the plateau's famous earth pyramids – well worth checking out, though worth noting it's around a kilometre walk slightly uphill. These bizarre pillars can reach heights of up to 30 metres, and while one pyramid vanishes, further up the same slope, nature is already forming a new one.

Lake Molveno with local speciality tastings

The Brenta Dolomites steal the show on this day trip – think sawtooth peaks, dramatic alpine scenery and a real sense of escape. You'll spend time soaking up the scenery around Lake Molveno, where nature puts on a seriously impressive display. Johann, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘This whole area is like a postcard come to life. The Brenta Dolomites are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and what better place for a swim than Lake Molveno, where the water comes directly from the Presena glacier.'First up, you'll stop by a local bee farm, where you'll learn all about the buzzing world of the apiary from the beekeeper. Watch the bees at work, then try three different varieties of honey, each with its own distinct flavour. Then it's on to Lake Molveno – a turquoise beauty nestled at the base of the dramatic Dolomites. It's one of Italy's best lakes for swimming with the cleanest, clearest water. You'll have free time to explore – a swim, a kayak or pedalo adventure, or a ride up the cable car for jaw-dropping Dolomites views. Or simply stroll the lakeside paths and settle in for lunch in the pretty town.To round things off, we'll visit the Marzadro Distillery, a family-run spot known for its quality spirits. You'll tour the facility, hear how traditional liqueurs are made, then try a few for yourself – from limoncello and grappa to local cream liqueurs and gin. You'll also get to taste some of the region's standout olive oil, offering a real flavour of Trentino.
