Sirmione Surf and Turf - This was a great way to see Sirmione from the land and water. Our guide, Davade, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. We all had a great time..

Relaxing, Friendly and Informative - Due to an unfortunate injury to our proposed tour guide, we (my wife and I) were asked if we would mind moving our trip time to the afternoon, which we agreed to. As a thank you, our guide, Chiara, took us on a boat tour with a couple from Australia (Deb and Nick) and no other guests. This was a real bonus as we saw the VERY crowded other boats and that would have been unpleasant in the very strong heat (around 34°C in the shade). Chiara was an excellent guide and after the boat trip we went on a guided tour of the old town and finished off with a drink and snacks in a tavern where we all had a nice chinwag before leaving. A very pleasant excursion, with great company and a top guide

Excellent Tour - Davide was an amazing guide. His background knowledge of Sirmione and different buildings in it was amazing and really added to our enjoyment of our stay. Good to find and see places we wouldn't have discovered ourselves. The inclusion of a.boat triparpund the peninsular was excellent and again, his knowledge.of.places on the boat addrd to pur enjoyment. Highly recommend

A great day ..... - A great tour! David, our guide was incredible. We booked through TripAdv's sister company, Viator. He really brought the history of this town to life and provided a great insight we simply never could have known / seen on our own. Enjoyed every moment of this trip.

Very fun & informative excursion + guide ..... - Our tour guide, David (Umbrella Tours) was really great. He really brought the history of this town to life. He provided lots of historical commentary that we would not have known by walking around. As part of the tour -- we had some wine and a snack and we found it to be fun to talk about the area + local life with him. Boat ride around the peninsula was great (dress warm) but was only about 45 min. The rest was walking and you will see areas that most don't know to see. A great tour + great guide. One of the highlights of our trip.

Perfect! - Davide talked beautifully about the history and the surroundings and he takes you to the locations that are less touristy. He also has good tips for the area and a nice finish was the food and a drink. Recommended for people who want to go off the beaten track!
