Lake Garda & The Best of the Veneto - Italy

10 Days | A solo lake-and-city escape through northern Italy’s sunlit gems

Day 1 – Arrival in Bardolino
Fly into Verona and transfer to Bardolino, your home on the shores of Lake Garda. Check into the 4★ Hotel Caesius Thermae & Spa, then join your fellow travellers and Tour Manager for a welcome drinks reception and dinner.

Day 2 – Lake Garda by Land & Boat
Discover why Lake Garda has enchanted visitors for centuries. Travel by coach and boat to the pretty town of Limone, nestled between lake and mountains, before continuing to lively Riva del Garda. Explore its medieval centre and soak up the lake’s timeless beauty before returning to Bardolino.

Day 3 – Venice
After breakfast, journey east to Venice. On a guided walking tour, explore St Mark’s Square, its dazzling Basilica, the Campanile and the Doge’s Palace, along with hidden corners and canals. Later, perhaps sip coffee in a piazza, glide on a gondola, or wander the city’s enchanting backstreets.

Day 4 – Free Day in Bardolino
A day to set your own pace. Stroll Bardolino’s lakefront promenade, enjoy the hotel’s spa, or pause for a long lunch in a sunny piazza. The choice is yours.

Day 5 – Mantova
Travel west to the Renaissance city of Mantova, framed by lakes and filled with towers, domes and cupolas. On a guided tour, explore its UNESCO-listed old town, palaces and squares. Afterwards, wander cobbled streets or relax with a coffee before returning to Lake Garda.

Day 6 – Free Day at Lake Garda
Another day to explore or unwind. Take the ferry to Sirmione, with its fairytale castle and pastel-hued streets, or simply relax in the gardens and pool of your hotel.

Day 7 – Verona
Discover one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. On a guided tour of Verona, see Juliet’s balcony, the Roman arena, and medieval piazzas. The afternoon is free — linger in Renaissance gardens, shop for Italian leather, or simply sip gelato in a sun-drenched square.

Day 8 – Departure
Bid farewell to Lake Garda and transfer to the airport for your return flight — carrying with you memories of lakeside serenity and Italy’s timeless cities.
