Escape the bustling canals of Venice and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Lake Garda, Italy’s largest and most enchanting lake. This exclusive, private day trip offers the perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and stunning natural scenery. Spanning 7 hours, this journey takes you from the historic streets of Venice into the heart of Northern Italy’s alpine wonderland.
Lake Garda is truly a world apart. Shaped like a ladle reaching deep into the jagged mountain peaks, the lake creates a unique microclimate where you will discover lush lemon trees, ancient olive groves, and palm-lined promenades set against a dramatic backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Our fun, local, and professional guide will ensure your day is not just a sightseeing tour, but an authentic immersion into the Italian 'dolce vita.'
Throughout the day, you will visit picturesque lakeside towns and hidden gems favored by the locals. You'll have plenty of time to wander through cobblestone streets, take in the panoramic views, and pause to savor authentic regional delicacies. Whether you are looking for the perfect photo opportunity, a taste of local wines, or simply a peaceful retreat from the city, this private trip is designed to cater to your personal preferences.
This 420-minute excursion is the ultimate way to experience the diversity of the Veneto and Lombardy regions. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into local history and culture, making the travel time fly by with entertaining stories and expert recommendations. From the sparkling blue waters to the vibrant village squares, this is an experience that will stay with you long after you return to Venice.
What’s included: A dedicated private guide for the entire 7-hour duration, personalized itinerary planning, and expert local knowledge. Please note that transport, meals, and entrance fees are not included, allowing you the flexibility to choose your own dining and activity pace.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the charming lakeside villages feature historic cobblestone streets.
Bring a camera and sunglasses; the light reflecting off the lake and the mountain backdrop are perfect for photography.

Choosing this private day trip means trading the crowded tourist traps of Venice for a bespoke, intimate experience tailored to your interests. Unlike large group tours, our private service allows for flexibility, ensuring you spend more time in the places you love. With a local guide by your side, you gain access to authentic experiences and 'hidden gem' locations that most visitors never discover. It is the most efficient, comfortable, and rewarding way to see the spectacular Lake Garda while maximizing your limited time in Italy.
Absolutely! Because this is a private tour, we can adjust the pace and the itinerary to ensure it is enjoyable and accessible for both children and adults.
We recommend bringing a light jacket for the mountain air, comfortable walking shoes, a camera, and some extra cash for local food, drinks, or unique souvenirs found in the villages.
