You’ll discover how this lakeside town grew and what daily life really looks like today — always with room for questions, laughs and interaction.

The tour continues with a sunset boat ride on Lake Garda, the perfect moment to enjoy the landscape from the water while sharing a glass of wine and good conversation.
