Fabulous walking tour and boat ride in Sirmione - My family and I couldn’t recommend Davide and this tour more highly. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, taking the time to answer the dozens of questions we had for him with such thought. The fact that he bought us all a drink and nibbles at the end of the tour was the icing on the cake! We will be looking out for other tours and trips they offer in Italy when we inevitably return.

Amazing! Book without hesitation! - A big thank you to Davide for this amazing tour! Not only he gave us so much information on Sirmione and on Lake Garda in general but he also gave us great recommendations on things to do around Lake Garda the following days. This trip wouldn’t have been the same without Davide. He really shows passion in sharing his knowledge. The little boat tour was lovely and the walk through Sirmione streets were incredible. He took us to places that we wouldn’t have found without him and the drink at the end was perfect to close the 2h experience.
I highly recommend booking this tour and again a big thank you for this unique experience!

World’s best tour guide him - Davide is the best guide I’ve ever had. So knowledgeable, sensitive to our needs, and showed us all these out of the way parts of the castle. Unbelievably knowledgeable about the history, and the people who had lived in the castle over the hundreds of years. He explained the design of the architecture, how they protected themselves & made it all seem like I was watching an episode of da Vinci. He is so gentlemanly and well educated that we felt as though we were in an honors class. On the boat ride he took us out to the middle of the lake and showed us how they had found and channeled the Hot Springs that they use in today’s hotels around the lake. He also took us to a delightful restaurant for a drink of our choice and a snack( delicious plate of meats, cheeses, breads and jam), his treat (that has never happened in my 78 years). David should be a professor someplace because his knowledge surpasses any class I’ve ever taken in college. My group of friends travel a lot, and I will definitely recommend him to them. He also gave us tips on places as our journey has continued onto Venice.

Go For It! - Our tour is great! Chiara from Umbrella Tours is really good, very professional with a personal touch, sharing her experiences and knowledge about Sirmone as well as useful tips with food and drinks. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is considering a quick tour. Did the tour with another amazing couple whom we shared another 2 bottle of wine at the end, so its been a great experience.

Organised, well informed, relaxed, perfect! - We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Davide - a group of 12 of us - he guided us SO well. He’s organised ( but relaxed) and judged everyone’s appetites for facts/recreation so sensitively. We took a boat trip around the lake with him, went up to the roman ruins on the little land train and he skilfully lead us through the town through the fascinating ( and less crowded) back streets. I’d highly recommended him- and just a note, this is not the only place that he guides- We’re hoping to look around Brescia with him next time we’re in the area.

Highly recommended - This was a great tour. Davide is very knowledgeable and showed us places that we would not easily have found on our own. Sirmioni was very busy but he kept us away from the crowds and was able to show us some hidden gems and share local local knowledge.
