We continue our journey to the Hotel Villa Mulino in Garda.
Discover the delightful lakeside villages of Malcesine and Riva del Garda as we take a relaxing tour of northern Lake Garda.
Malcesine is a beautiful and quintessential Lake Garda town with narrow winding streets and a 14th-century castle that gives fantastic views of the town and lake from its clock tower.
Riva del Garda has a beautiful little port, with houses tightly packed around the water's edge.
Verona is one of Italy’s most romantic cities, thanks to the fact that Shakespeare chose this city to set his romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
While the couple were purely fictional, there are many attractions which claim by local legend to have once set the scene for Romeo and Juliet. For example, there’s Juliet’s House, where we’ll find the balcony Romeo is said to have serenaded his love, as well as the Basilica di San Zeno where the two were supposedly married in secret. There’s also Juliet’s tomb, which is said to be located within San Francesco al Corso church.
Aside from this, there are many other attractions to enjoy in Verona, such as the Piazza delle Erbe, which was once the site of the Roman Forum in the city, and Lamberti Tower.
There’s a Roman Theatre and Archaeological Museum to enjoy as well, and the impressive Verona Cathedral.
Included excursion to the beautiful city of Venice, where we’ll find stunning architecture, fascinating history and vibrant culture.
Venice is one of the most interesting cities in the world, with its winding canals and reputation for being the birthplace (and adopted home) of many amazing musicians.
Today, Venice is an extraordinary city with lots to discover, from museums to art galleries, monuments to bridges, and everything in between.
Some of the most famous places we’ll be able to visit at leisure while in the city include Ca' d'Oro, the Doge's Palace and the Clock Tower, as well as the Museum of Natural History and the Venice Academy Gallery. There’s also the Basilica di San Marco, the Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge and the famous Grand Canal.

Hotel was great, travel and driving crew were excellent, excursions to Venice and verona were well organised and trips to north and south lake were great. Dolomite excursion was disappointing as too many trees blocked the scenery, not your fault just an observation. Overall holiday was fantastic.

Tom and Paris our tour guides and drivers made this a memorable trip to Lake Garda. The hotel Villa Milano has such a warm and friendly feel this was my second trip back there after visiting last year. The food at the hotel was very good and the owner provided entertainment each night which I felt bought the members of the coach party together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Had trouble on the way home not having the correct paperwork at the Tunnel followed by a long delay due to technical issues but Tom and Paris helped us pass the time with a quiz. I felt they went the extra mile and looked after us with care and respect, Will be keeping an eye on their facebook page for their next trip which i can hopefully join. 10/10 to them. On the down side, coach was a bit cramped where I sat at the back on the drivers side but this happens due to the space taken by the refreshment area I believe so be aware if sat this side when you travel especially on the smaller Shearing coach. All in all a great time had .

Wonderful holiday with a new bunch of friends. The 2 drivers/ guides, Tom and Paris, were excellent and did a fantastic job of looking after us and keeping us safe on the roads. The couple are a credit to the company.
