Relax by Lake Garda and enjoy the pleasures of Italy and the warmth of its people. - We returned to our favourite campsite on Lake Garda many years after our 3 children had left home and were bringing up their own families. Camping Pai Da Maria is a small, well organised site situated on the eastern bank of the lake close to Torri del Benaco. It caters for caravans, campervans and tents and its well marked pitches and facilities are very good. To our surprise we were recognised by the owner, after all that time, and he's to be applauded for his hospitality and concern for ensuring that your visit is very enjoyable. Add to that the number of excellent restaurants in the area, many local markets and wonderful views across the lake with fabulous sunsets over the southern foothills of the Alps.

Relaxed bus trip to Venice despite bad weather - Explanations given by the tour guide, first on the bus and then in Venice, were very useful. The tour guide had a lot of knowledge about Venice and he informed us in a relaxed and entertaining style. We also had a safe and smooth bus trip with an experienced bus driver.

A taste of Venice! - We had an excellent day out. Raimon, our guide, showed us the main sights in Venice - Doges Palace, St Marco’s square and Basilica, the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs and lots more. He provided information about the area’s history, it’s background and what it’s like to live in this unique city. He gave us tips about getting the best value for our money as tourists, arranged lunch, gondola rides and the tour of the lagoon (these were at an additional cost). We also were given time to explore by ourselves. Raimon was interesting and amusing. He was fluent in several languages so we all could understand what he was saying. We were staying in Gardone on the west side of Lake Garda. We booked the tour as the journey to Venice would not have been straight forward and we would not have been able to spend the 6 hours there that we did. The journey took approx 3.5 hrs each way but it was door to door in a comfortable, air conditioned coach. We feel the tour provided us with a taste of Venice and are keen to visit it again. This tour was perfect for us and is highly recommended.

Great day out - A lovely trip with a great guide ! The pick up point was easy to find and the bus was on time . The trip from Limone sul Garda was scenic. The tour around Venice was beautiful and the lagoon trip is well worth it . The day trip is well worth but it is tiring and good foot ware is a must .

A beautiful and interesting day - It was perfectly organized and Francesco was the best guide you could ask for! They picked us up on time and the bus ride was comfortable and fun. We had enough time to discover Venice on our own but also booked the Laguna Tour which was very interesting. I would highly recommend to bring sun screen or a hat if you go during summer.

Going the extra mile - We booked this trip at the beginning of our holiday thinking we were going on our last day got up looked at the ticket and realised we were booked for the day before. I rang the emergency number got someone out of bed I think, couldn't speak much English and I got cut off. We were resigned to having a miserable day but someone rang me back within 20mins and had managed to get us on a bus going that day it was fantastic service. Loved the lagoon tour Thank you montebaldo

Venice day trip from Sirmione - Well organised day . Gabriella our tour guide was very informative and funny on the boat ride to St Mark’s Square and the walking tour . We opted for the additional Gondola ride and Lagoon boat tour which only left about 2 hours to wander but we saw so much in a short space of time . It was very busy around St Mark’s Square but I guess it is busy at most times of the year . You only had to wander a few streets away to find alleyways and canals that were much quieter . We stumbled on a really cute book shop with stairs that are made of books . Only downside was our Gondolier who was very brusque . I saw other Gondoliers engaging with their passengers which I’m sure added to the experience .
