My partner and I took a two hour + Lake Garda tour with a 20 min. stop at the lovely lake town of Gardone, time for a stroll or a drink at a cafe. It was a great way to see the Lake, the surrounding beautiful shore scenery and activities on the Lake, It what really made the excursion special was the enthusiasm, passion and English-speaking excellence and knowledge of our boat guide/driver, Dima, who took the time to educate us on the history of the Lake, both human and geographic, and made sure we really enjoyed the outing. He is a fabulous representative for Garda Tours on Lake Garda and we highly recommend him for your tour. Ask for him and he will make your tour special!

We booked a private tour of sirmione online, the process was easy and as it was private we were able to leave 30 minutes before the allocated time. We saw others on the joint tours and felt having the boat to ourselves was fully worth it. Best seats going, our captain Alex was great. Good commentary and took photos for us.
Great day out!

We rented a boat for a full day from Desenzano where they have a small stall on the harbour. We’d somehow managed to book it for the wrong day but the guy there worked out a way to allow us to have it on the day we turned up. He was really helpful and extremely pleasant, and did his best to make the experience a positive one for us.
We chugged up the lake for a few hours which was amazing, to see the scenery from the vantage point of the lake. After a dip in the middle of the lake to cool down we then slowly made our way back towards Desenzano along the shore, with a stop at Salo for a drink. Mooring the boat was an experience not to be missed!
Can’t recommend a day out on a boat highly enough. We all enjoyed it including teenage kids which is a massive win. Not the cheapest day out, but definitely one we will remember, and made all the better by Garda Tours. Grazie!

We did a custom private boat tour for 7 people on Lake Garda and it was wonderful. Dima, our boat captain, was knowledgeable about the area and showed us beautiful coves and sights around the lake. We stopped for lunch and he waited for us to finish then drove us back safely despite some challenging weather systems that developed quickly over the lake that afternoon. The boat was modern and beautiful, the staff at check in were courteous and the price reasonable. We would definitely book an excursion again with them and request Dima. He expertly handled the boat at all times and his passion for boating was evident.

We had the best time on our private 3-hour boat trip with our wonderful captain Jonatah. He took great care of us, shared information on the places we visited and gave it a personal touch by also sharing details about his life in Sirmione. From the music recommendations to the champagne to singing Italian nostalgia songs together, it was absolutely perfect. The best boat tour of our life!

Being on vacation on lake Garda I looked for a boat trip on a legendary Riva boat. I found this webpage advertising trips on a Riva Aquariva. After booking was completed (the price was too good to 3 true for such an experience) the Riva boat was mentioned nowhere in the booking confirmation.
Upon calling the staff I was told that trips on the Riva boat cannot be booked online, but one has to call Paolo instead. After several messages and calls it was confirmed to me that the webpage is misleading regarding Riva Cruises. I tried to cancel on the phone and get my money refunded but somehow not possible. The final situation as follows: I should come to the starting point (1 hour drive for me and my family), they will try to provide the Riva boat that is actually fully booked this day, if its not availiable i can take another boat or get back the money in person.

Dear Peter,
I'm sorry to read this bad review about our service.
Obviously there must had been a misunderstanding. The service you booked was a private trip around Sirmione, with a "standard" boat, not with Riva Aquariva.
Probably you saw an Ads (advertisement) showing Riva, but you didn't booked tour with that boat.
On the website it's not possible to book (and pay) for that boat, so what you are saying is not the truth.
I'm sorry you misunderstood.
In any case we gave our availability to do the tour anyway, even if the price you paid was not for that kind or service.
Riva Aquariva is a luxury boat, obviously it couldn't be that price. We are sorry for this misunderstanding, by our side we tried to do everything to find a solution to meet your request.

We had a beautiful day cruising the Lake of Garda with our great guide Jacopo very friendly, informative and very fluent in english. We left Gargnano in the morning, enjoyed the close up views of the occidental coast up to Gardone and Salo', had an aperitive with cheese on the boat and we stopped in beautiful Punta San Vigilio for a great seafood lunch at Locanda San Vigilio . After the lunch we enjoyed the views of the oriental coast up to Torri del Benaco and came back to Gargnano.
We loved every moment of it!

My wife and I came along with our group tour and the driver Ivan made our tour the best one yet! He made us feel comfortable, very educational, and made the tour 10x more fun! I highly recommend it if you are visiting Lake Garda.

Checked out that prices of Bertoldi were the same as Sirmione Boats; went with the Sirmione boat guys as they had one ready to go when we rolled up later about 4.30pm when the main heat of the sun was dissipating. Highly recommend taking camera, water, sunglasses & sun-hat. Chap called Alberto drove really well (we occasionally feel nervous in small boats) but being just two in their roomy boat made it feel not just safe but nicely deluxe as well whilst he pointed out several viewpoint-features. Overall felt it was decent value and hugely enjoyable.

Is it possible to rent the boat alone? I want my privacy for me and my wife, also is it possible to make an arrangement for the boat to have followers and candles for a birthday?

There are 8 people in our group do you have an option you could recommend for Lake Garda and/or Sirmione
Written August 18, 2018
How long would you like the ride to be and what all do you want to see? Each tour option depends on these factors. I recommend going to their website (it won’t let me attach the url, but just google Sirmione Boata Laka Garda and you will see it) to view their options!

Hi! We are in Punta Gro'/Sirmione for 4 days. Can we book a trip with you? It's 2 adults and a 14 mo toddler. How much would that be and what does it include? Thanks!
Written July 12, 2017
There are lots of boats that can do hires based in Sirmione,just a question of where you want to go and how far.The shuttles run from every port on the lake you can journey up to Riva del Garda which although a longer journey will stop at other ports in between such as limone or malcesine,Riva is the closest port to the Dolomite mountains which tower over the town ,in Malcesine take the cable car high up above the lake for a spectacular view and return for lunch to the town.There are so many options --ENJOY .
