Plenty of poets have showered Lake Garda with praise, like Pound, Tennyson and Goethe. And you’ll get to see the lakefront promenades, Medieval towns and sweeping views they’ve all waxed lyrical about on this boat trip. You’ll start with a visit to the town the world-famous lake was named after, Garda. It’s all about the views here and you can see as far south as Sirmione’s peninsula from the water’s edge. Plus, you can explore a miles worth of ice-cream parlours, bars and restaurants. Next, you’ll hop back onboard a boat to Sirmione. Roman poet Catullo called this place the ‘pearl of the islands’ and it’s been a spa destination since Roman times, thanks to its thermal springs. You can wander the maze of streets, full of pavement cafés and boutiques, before heading to the western side of the lake, and Gardone. Here, you’ve got a tree-lined promenade and square, as well as botanical gardens.
