The boat will then depart for Varenna, where you will enjoy a panoramic tour before departing to Bergamo.

After a short walking tour of the historical center of the town, your day will conclude in Brescia, where you will spend the night.

You'll enjoy breakfast at the hotel, and depart for Garda Lake, the largest lake in Italy, surrounded by the Dolomites of Brenta in the north and gentle hills in the south. Thanks to its Mediterranean mild climate the territory is rich of lemon trees, oleanders, bougainvilleas, olives groves and vineyards. There'll be a boat tour from Sirmione, offering you spectacular views of Sirmione Cape, the Castle and the Catullo's ruins. You'll be able to continue enjoy the panorama of the lake while at lunch (not included). Afterward, you'll depart for the town of Riva Del Garda and tour its Venetian inspired historical center. You'll leave to spend the night in Verona.

After enjoying lunch on your own (not included), you'll return to Milan, where the tour, and our services, will end.
