The 15 Best Lake Garda Day Trips from Venice

From Lake Garda: Full-Day Guided Group Tour of Venice - Pickup points around Lake Garda

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,389 reviews · from $94Our pick

Travel from Lake Garda to Venice by coach and private boat, with a guided walk, free time, and practical tips for a long but rewarding day.

“The package consisted of pickup close to our hotel, modern return coach to Venice, boat transfer to the centre, guided tour of the major sights on foot, and free time to spend in the city. Gondola ride and boat tour of the wider lagoon were optional extras but worth doing imho. Communication prior to pickup was good and our guide Francisco was excellent; obviously a local, spoke good English and German, and full of wry enthusiasm for the city. Venice can be a bit notorious to visit, and this made it an easy, enjoyable experience for a day trip.”

Review of the Lake Garda and Sirmione tour from Verona, with Sirmione, Lazise, boat views, free time, price, weather tips, and honest advice.

“Had a very nice day with a boat tour on Lake Garda, a guided tour around Sirmione and a wonderful lazy lunch and shopping time in Lazise. I was happy to explore parts of Italy I had never seen before and Beatriz was an excellent guide. The only thing about the tour that I felt could be better was having a slightly smaller group. We were about 19 people and it seemed quite busy overall. I feel like a smaller number of individuals would have made the overall experience a bit more intimate and fun.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · from $127

Explore Verona, Sirmione, and Lake Garda from Mestre with a guided city walk, private boat cruise, free time, and practical tips.

“As the agency brought together different groups, we had to leave Venice early, pick up a group in Verona, and then return to Verona at the end of the day. Despite the complimentary Spritz, the logistics were exhausting. Not to mention that we had little time to enjoy the drink—the second drink we were offered as compensation for the boat tour that was canceled due to bad weather (rain and strong wind) couldn't be drunk because we had to return to Venice.”
