1:15 PM | Departure from Garda
Meet your transport in Garda. As we head south along the eastern shore, enjoy the changing landscape where the lake narrows and the morainic hills begin to appear.

2:00 PM | Sirmione: The “Pearl of the Lake”
We arrive at the Sirmione peninsula. This narrow strip of land stretches into the heart of Lake Garda, offering some of the most iconic views in Italy.
The Scaligero Castle: Pass through the drawbridge of this lakeside fortress, one of the best-preserved in the country.
Historic Center: Enjoy a guided stroll (or free time) through the narrow, flower-lined streets filled with artisanal boutiques and gelaterias.
Thermal Atmosphere: Catch a glimpse of the Roman ruins at the “Grotte di Catullo” or simply soak in the elegant, Mediterranean vibe of the town.

3:45 PM | Scenic Transfer to the Mincio Valley
Leaving the lakeside, we move inland toward the border between Lombardy and Veneto, heading to the peaceful banks of the Mincio River.

4:15 PM | Borghetto sul Mincio: A Medieval Dream
Step back in time as we enter Borghetto, officially recognized as one of the Borghi più belli d’Italia (Italy’s most beautiful villages).
Watermills & River Views: Discover the ancient watermills, some of which are still functional, reflecting in the crystal-clear river.
The Visconti Bridge: Admire the imposing 14th-century fortified dam built by the Dukes of Milan.
Home of the “Love Knot”: This village is the birthplace of the famous Nodo d’amore (Love Knot) tortellino. Legend tells of a forbidden love between a soldier and a nymph who left a knotted silk handkerchief as a token of their bond—a story still celebrated in the local handmade pasta.

5:30 PM | Departure for Garda
Board the coach for a relaxing return journey, passing through the lush vineyards of the Custoza and Bardolino wine regions.
