About this experience

In this tour you will explore the lake Garda from another point of you: with an expert driver, from a fishing family with centuries of generations, you will admire the unique architectural and landscape beauties in the world, from Punta San Vigilio, to the Isola del Garda, Sirmione bay with the Castle and the grotoes of Catullo, or Rocca di Manerba, to the most characteristic places of this central area of the lake.

On board, you will taste fresh fish (from sea or from lake), prepared the same day by the fisherman, paired with wines from local cellars.
