Italian Lakeland & Romantic Venice
12 Day Coach Holiday - 7% Discount

Tour Highlights
Wonderful Italian lakes and mountains scenery, Lake Garda, Romantic Venice, Verona, Spectacular Dolomites
Venice

Just south of the Alps, Italian Lakeland has long been a favourite destination for the discerning holidaymaker. Lake Garda is the most popular, and Riva, at the head of the lake, is the most glamorous resort. In a position unsurpassed for scenic splendour - lying on the shores of the lake and overlooked by the peaks of Mount Rochetta - Riva is the priceless gem in the jewelled crown of the Italian Lakeland. Take a boat trip on the lake, people-watch in open-air cafes, explore the many historic buildings, soak-up the sun - and look forward to a sightseeing tour programme taking in the spectacular Dolomite Mountains, the romantic city of Verona, and the 'floating city' of Venice.
