Day Itinerary
Your private driver collects you from your Venice accommodation and transfers you comfortably toward Verona. The journey sets the tone for a relaxed, fully private day across Northern Italy.
Begin at Piazza Brà, where the Arena di Verona dominates the square, then walk to Piazza delle Erbe with its market stalls and historic facades. Continue to Juliet's House on Via Cappello to view the balcony and statue, and optionally climb the Torre dei Lamberti for rooftop panoramas. Free time allows for independent browsing of boutique shops along Via Mazzini or a pause at one of the city's traditional cafés.
A short drive brings you to Borghetto sul Mincio, one of Italy's most picturesque small villages. Cross the 14th-century Ponte Visconteo for views over the river, then wander cobbled lanes past restored watermills and stone houses. This is a relaxed interlude, with the option to try the village's signature tortellini or stop for coffee at a local café.
The final stop is Sirmione, positioned on a narrow peninsula extending into Lake Garda. Walk the lakeside promenade, photograph Scaligero Castle from the exterior or explore inside, and browse the gelaterias and boutiques of the historic center. History enthusiasts can visit the Grotte di Catullo, Roman villa ruins with commanding lake views. Lunch by the water is not included but is easily arranged at one of the lakeside restaurants.
Your private driver returns you directly to Venice after the final stop in Sirmione, completing a full day across three distinct Northern Italian destinations.
