Highlights
-
Lake Garda
Writers have sung Lake Garda's praises over the centuries. “The lake lies dim and milky,” DH Lawrence wrote, “the mountains are dark blue… the sky glistens… the light burns gold.” As you walk along the lake, it changes character, with Mediterranean-like settings of open-air cafes, pebbles beaches and quaint harbours, a contrasting landscape as fir and pine trees tumble down to olive and lemon groves.
-
Venice, Italy
There’s simply no place like Venice: a city built on water incorporating no roads and home to over 250,000 citizens, despite its small size. Its compact, to say the least, narrow alleys leading to endless culinary treasures and the occasional tourist hotspot: St Mark’s Campanile or the Rialto Bridge, for instance. The magic of Venice’s streets is unmatchable, but a visit wouldn’t be complete without a relaxing gondola ride on the Grand Canal.
-
Verona Opera
The Arena di Verona Festival is a summer festival of Opera, located in Verona, Italy. The first Operas were performed in 1913 in celebration of the centenary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi. The arena itself can hold 30,000 spectators and performances normally begin at dusk with the only light coming from the stage and by candlelight. Included in this tour are Tickets to the Performance "Carmen".
Your Ship

As a belated Birthday treat to myself, yesterday my mum, little sister and I went up to the 31st floor of the Shard in London as we had made a reservation for the Mary Poppins Afternoon tea. After reading reviews during the week we were a little sceptical if we would be receiving the full experience as we had seen in the video promotional but our worries were soon cast aside when we met our waitress Katy – who has been serving the Afternoon tea since the very start and soon put us at ea...
