LAKE GARDA

7 day Independent Single Centre Tour

Unpack only once on this single hotel centred tour based in Peschiera del Garda, right on the shore of stunning Lake Garda. Formed as a result of the last ice age glaciation, the enchanting attractiveness of Lake Garda has enraptured all its visitors, beginning with its first tourist and promoter in 1786 – Wolfgang Goethe. Extremely good value!
