Get some time to window shop and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate before traveling to the Pordoi Pass, 2,240 meters above sea level.

Buy a souvenir from the Dolomites in one of the delightful shops before the return trip to Lake Garda.

Discover one of the most romantic cities in the world on a day trip to Venice from Lake Garda. Hop aboard a private boat on arrival and cross the Giudecca Canal to St. Mark's Square to marvel at monuments such as St. Mark's Basilica, the Bridge of Sights, and Campanile. Learn how the Republic of Venice came to dominate the east and west as you encounter crumbling mansions in the central sestiere (districts). Spend some time strolling around the city or go for a gondola ride before soaking up the evening atmosphere at the Rialto Bridge.  In the afternoon enjoy a private tour on a fast boat in the Lagoon of Venice, the real jewelry of the Serenissima. After your free time, return along the Giudecca Canal by motorboat, where a coach will take you back to Lake Garda for drop off between 12:00 midnight and 1:30 AM.

On this tour, you can go food shopping like a local with your "Cesarina", enjoying the distinctive Italian local markets and learning how to recognize the best produce from the land. Then, attend a private cooking demo where your Cesarina will share the secret of her/his family cookbook while finishing one of the dishes in front of you. Sit at an authentic Italian table and enjoy a 4-course seasonal menu including starter, pasta, main course with side dish and dessert with drinks (water, selection of red and white wines from regional cellars and coffee). Feel the warmth of Italian hospitality as you connect with local people. Instead of loading your suitcase with souvenirs, take home memories that'll stay with you for life.
