"Great day trip from Verona. Would love to have an hour more in Sirmione, but we just have to come back then. Our guide Dalila was great and balanced guiding in English and Spanish perfectly. Highly recommend ☺️"

About Verona Aperitivo Tours
An aperitivo tour in Verona is the early-evening Italian ritual done right: a local guide leads you between a couple of bars for a bittersweet drink and the stuzzichini or cicchetti that come with it.
It’s social and unhurried — the point is to ease into the evening, not to get drunk. Come a little hungry.

What Travelers Say
"Fantastic guide with easy meet up point and transport. Sirmione was simply stunning and beautiful. The boat trip around Lake Garda was great with a good guide telling of history. Inside the castle grounds were lots of food courts with lovely restaurants and Gelato shops. We had 1.5 hours to look around which is not enough but gives you the urge to want to go back! Spritz tasting was good too and we met some lovely people. Rodriquez was a great guy and tour guide!"
"This is a really well organised day out, the only thing I would say is that after the boat trip there just didn't feel like enough time to explore Sirmione, would have loved a little longer before returning to Verona!"
"loved the whole trip, the rain held off which was great! Our guide Vanessa was fabulous 👌"
"Alissia our guide was wonderful- she made everyone welcome and was knowledgeable. The coach ride was comfortable to Lake Garda- Sirmione. Lovely boat ride on the lake, while Alissia spoke about the Roman ruins, Castle and life on the lake. Free time for an hour, which we spent inside the castle walls. Ice cream is delicious. Our trip ended with spritz tasting in one of the restaurants on the square with nibbles. Would highly recommend. Thank you."
