I was lucky taking gelato making class, my husband joined too. It was memorable experiences, full of fun and ice-cream. I truly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward taking another classes in the future. Chef Christina was an amazing, she shared her knowledge and answered all questions I had, I can't thank you her enough. My next plant will be online classes with chef Christina : ) Best, Fatimah & Michael

Verona: 2-Hour Gelato Making Class Reviewed by Anonymous, 06/09/2020

It was a birthday present for my dad during our 4-day stay at Sirmione and it was an amazing feat, thanks to our guide/boat captain Alex. We saw the eastern shore of the Garda Lake with its towns and castles, tasted some wine of Veneto, swam in the pristine waters of the lake and enjoyed the speedy ride. The day went perfect!

Lake Garda: Historic Castle Cruise with Wine Tasting Reviewed by igor, 06/08/2020

Our guide Isabelle was great and gave us a lot of interesting details about the city! Also the three osterias we visited all offered us delicious snacks and wine. The bikes were comfortable and the length of the activity is just right! Thank you very much for showing us around! We definitely recommend the bike tour.

Verona: Osteria and Sightseeing Bike Tour Reviewed by Manon, 30/08/2020

We were the only two on the tour so actually had a private tour and we got two guides! The food is not included but they informed us before. It is a mistake on GetYourGuide. Verona is beautiful and by bike it is super easy and a perfect way to get around. The three Osterias were great!
