Sirmione is beautiful — and yes, it can get busy. We created this experience to slow things down, step away from the crowds and enjoy the peninsula the way locals do — with a boat ride, a relaxed walk, and a drink at the end. We’ll cruise around the peninsula by boat, then explore quieter corners and side streets most visitors miss. Along the way, you’ll hear stories, history and little local details — nothing academic, just the kind of things that make places feel alive. The pace is easy, the group is small, and there’s time to look around, ask questions, take photos — or simply enjoy the lake without rushing. The drink at the end will be nice for a chat and for asking question and best tips about the area
