Lake Garda

Sitting in northern Italy, Lake Garda is surrounded by three unique regions: Lombardy, Trentino Alto-Adige, and the Veneto. With its enchanting scenery of clear waters and majestic mountains, this lovely area is perfect for exploring lakeside towns such as Sirmione and Desenzano.

Lake Maggiore

Nestled on the southern fringes of the Alps, the pristine waters of Lake Maggiore are an iconic landmark in both the Lombardy and Piedmont regions. One of the biggest draws to this region is The Borromean Islands, where you'll find Isola Bela's 17th-century Palazzo Borromeo.

Lake Como

Lake Como is acclaimed for its striking alpine backdrop and luxury villas. This deep, Y-shaped lake is a haven for relaxation and recreation, offering boat rides, historic towns like Bellagio, and captivating vistas that have attracted celebrities and tourists for centuries.

Lake Iseo

Lake Iseo, also in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, is renowned for its serene beauty. This little-known corner of northern Italy is surrounded by charming villages, rolling hills, and the stunning Monte Isola, Europe's largest lake island. A holiday here is ideal for a peaceful Italian escape.

Lake Orta

A hidden gem in the Piedmont region of Italy, Lake Orta, exudes charm with its small size and beauty. Surrounded by quaint villages like Orta San Giulio, it offers a quiet retreat with scenic walks and an authentic Italian way of life. It's also a fantastic base to explore further afield.

“Best holiday ever!! So relaxed and a lovely pace. No stress as our wonderful tour guide (Ed) took care of everything for us. Great tours and the people in our group were amazing. We’ll do another one before long without a shadow of doubt and our friends are so impressed that some are now looking at trips themselves. 100% recommend.

“Hotel was lovely, we had good group and our TM Amanda was excellent. Would have been 5 stars but the Train of Flavours was very disappointing and Sulzano for eating out on free nights is not good only one restaurant in village otherwise you have to get ferry to the Island opposite where there are a few to choice from or eat in the hotel. Trip to Bergamo was very good as were the local guides . Glad we went on this GRJ holiday but probably would not go back to Lake Iseo.
