Private Day Tour from Venice
Private Day Trip to Sirmione, Verona, and Borghetto sul Mincio from Venice
One day, three iconic Northern Italian destinations, entirely at your own pace
This private day trip to Sirmione from Venice takes you through three of Northern Italy's most celebrated locations, combining Roman history, medieval architecture, and the serene beauty of Lake Garda into a single, seamlessly arranged journey.
Departing Venice, you travel in comfort with a dedicated private driver, giving you the freedom to set your own rhythm at every stop. There are no fixed group schedules to follow and no crowded coaches to share.
From the ancient amphitheater of Verona to the watermill lanes of Borghetto sul Mincio and the lakeside promenade of Sirmione, each destination offers a distinct character worth exploring at a measured pace.

Discover the Grotte di Catullo, optional Roman villa ruins offering sweeping views over Italy's largest lake.
Travel with a private driver throughout the day, ensuring comfort, flexibility, and a fully personalized experience.

Day Itinerary
1
Departure from Venice
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.
2
Verona — Roman Arena, Piazza Brà, and Juliet's House
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.
3
Borghetto sul Mincio — Medieval Village and Ponte Visconteo
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.
4
Sirmione — Lake Garda, Scaligero Castle, and Grotte di Catullo
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.
