    Guide spoke constantly on coach journey - far too much. But didn’t tell us the most important thing in the microphone in coach - where to catch ferry from limina. Such a large group , we never heard her and went to wrong place . Late ferry so only hour in the next 2 places each and all on coach - we expected ferries. Couldn’t see snyyhhnf really as not enough time in either.

    The title of the tour is misleading. It does not convey that most of the day will be spent on a coach. “Lake Garda tour with boat trip from Gardone..” is easily read as a boat trip leaving from the southern end of the lake. The 20 min hop across the lake by ferry is hardly a boat trip. I feel I’ve lost a day of my holiday on a very misleading pitch. The guide was pleasant but reading out population and trade stats to us was very dull. Did not communicate status when ferry was delayed.

    Too much time at the first stop, Lemoni, it would be better to cut this time by an hour and add that to the second stop, as by that time everyone was wanting lunch and there was only enough time for lunch and no time to see the town.

    It was a really enjoyable day, the guide was informative and nice. You get to see three towns which are all lovely (in particular the first two) and the boat trip across was good and scenic. You spend a lot of time in the coach and a lot of time waiting around for people/busses/boats which was a bit frustrating, but still had a great day overall and would recommend.

    From our point of you we found it to be far too long on the coach and not enough time at each stop off. I thought when I booked it would be more of a boat trip but that’s my fault for not reading the details probably.. If you don’t mind long spells on a coach this would be the tour for you but not us. Limone absolutely beautiful well worth a visit, the other two destinations we only got an hour tops so not enough time at to have a good look around. Our guide was very well informed.
