I had a great time. The tour consisted of long days but worth it to see everything we could in a short period of time. The guides switched but were all wonderful. I would and already have recommended Europamundo to my friends and family.
- Lakes & Lagoon : Lake Como, Lake Garda & Venice, 6 days private tour
We had a wonderful tour of the Lake Garda region with a special visit to Sigurtà park. Filippo was extremely well-organized and our group had a lot of fun. Highly recommended!
