Spectacular Lake Garda, Venice & Verona

Following popular demand, Lake Garda is back in our programme for 2025 – and what a tour we have for you!

Enjoy the rolling landscapes of Europe as you journey down to northern Italy on one of our comfortable and air conditioned coaches. You’ll have a hotel stop overnight, so you be well rested during the journey. Once in Lake Garda, you will stay at the stunning 4* Hotel Splendid Sole in Manerba – a lovely hotel and about an 800 metre walk from the lake’s south western shores. The hotel’s modern wellness centre includes indoor pool and spa, and the outdoor pool is a gorgeous space to laze aorund after a day’s sightseeing. Renowned for its delicious Mediterranean food, the Splendid Sole really is a ‘splendid’ choice as a base for this holiday.

During your time in Italy, you’ll have lots of time to relax and explore on your own whilst having the opportunity to join us on inlcuded local excursions to visit the lakeside towns of Malcesine, Riva del Garda and historic Sirmione. We’ll also take you to Verona for a fabulous day of sightseeing in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities as well as perhaps Europe’s most romantic city, Venice.

This is an ideal choice for:

– Lovers of Northern Italy and Lake Garda
– First time visitors that are curious to travel beyond the UK
– Couples looking to visit some of the most romantic spots in Italy
– Anyone wanting experience the magic of Venice

Special Conditions associated with Air, Ferry & Train Connections

Departures & Collections

Departures. The Company will if asked give an estimated journey time to your departure Air/Ferry port etc. Clients should always build in a provision for unforeseen circumstances and in particular always allow extra time when travelling to the major UK Airports such as Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, Manchester Etc. Most of Britons Ferry & Airports are accessed via some of the countries busiest Motorway networks and we are finding that delays are becoming much more frequent. Particular attention should also be paid to check-in time given by airlines. Especially those airline companies that operate a shorter check-in time such as 1-2 hours. Our drivers are legally required to take a rest period of at least 45 Minutes after completing 4 ½ hours driving. We do however recommend this be reduced to no more than 3 hours driving. These break period should be added to your proposed departure times.

Breakdowns and delays

The Company gives its advice on journey times in good faith but does not guarantee the completion of any journey within a specific time period and will not be liable for loss or inconvenience caused by breakdown or other delays. The Company will not be held responsible for late arrivals or missed flights due to circumstances beyond its control.

Return Collections

The Company has access to most UK airports flight arrivals information and relies heavily on the live updates being provided by the major Airline Companies. It is therefore imperative that we are given your return flight details in full on final confirmation of your booking. Depending on which UK airport you are using you will be given a set of instructions to follow on what to do upon your return flight arrival.

Delayed Return Flights

Cresta Coaches will give allowance for return flight delays of up to 2 hours. Any additional delays in return flight collections are subject to an hourly charge of £25 per hour. These charges are in addition to the stated hire fees.
