As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.

What a pleasure to explore Varenna and the surrounding beautiful landscape of Varenna with the areas most well known guide Nadia and her trusted companion, her dog Thea. The 6 hour tour passed in no time at all aided of course by Nadia's expertise and in-depth knowledge and of course the stunning scenery. Nadia's english is excellent so i did not miss out on any of the numerous facts and historical stories she had to tell us all. Our day started with a brief introduction of the itinary as well as a historical narrative insight into Varenna and the area of Lake Como - Thereafter our glorious day began - a gentle stroll around Varenna before the gentle ascent to the Castle of Vezio (Castello Di Vezio). What can i say, just the most amazing views from this area and with Nadia's commentary it was as if we were being taken back in time as she relayed the many happenings of a bygone era of many centuries ago. A light lunch of local cheeses & meats before we were off once more hitting the trail, this time in the direction of Fiumelate and its famous river that comes out of the mountain. On our way Nadia surprised us with a lovely little detour which was a delight, a quick, very manageable ascent off the main trail led us to a small natural terrace that offered additional breath-taking panaramic views where she informed us writers and artists alike had spent their time here inspired. After this it was off to the Sorgente Del Fiumelatte - The source of the river. Being a hot summers day the cool air rising from the fast flower river was refreshing indeed. After here we made our way back in the direction of Varenna this time to visit the immaculate gardens of Villa Monastero and Villa Cipressi an absolute paradise. I have been forutnate enough to have visited Villa Monastero previously and i will again it is an area of beauty that pulls you in time and time again. As for Villa Cipressi you may well see me sitting on one of the benches there reading my book or just gazing out to the vast expanse of Lake Como - It's a garden of relaxation and calm. The tour was over and it was Nadia's kind and warm approach that made this a memorable day indeed. If you are in Italy it's a 10/10 MUST to go on one of Nadia's many excursions she offers. You will not be dissapointed!!

There is a chance that your tour may include a mixture of nationalities (such as English and Spanish-speaking so if you prefer your own language exclusively, we would recommend making this clear to the operator to avoid disappointment. Some of the island visits are fairly brief, otherwise the tour operator has indeed set the tour around each of the major lakes in Northern Italy – we missed some of the spectacular views as it was fairly wet and foggy, so you may wish to cross-check the weather forecast for the time of year you’re thinking of doing the trip – we went late Spring. The operator keeps the tour to a relatively small group which is a nice bonus. This tour seemed suited to an older demographic. Some of the hotels that we stayed in were great – especially the one they chose for Lake Como – it looks like an old convent and has a lot of old-world charm. The Hotel in Verona was centrally located which was convenient, however probably not the best hotel we stayed in during our trip with some maintenance issues related to air-con. We have had a wonderful time in Italy, and Verona was the highlight for us with a walking tour around the city, taking in some of the history and older buildings.
