Traveling with an archaeologist from Lake Garda to Mantua, along the Mincio Valley.
5 days
About this Tour
This journey, expertly and passionately guided by an archaeologist, begins on Lake Garda, a place whose awe-inspiring views are indescribable, so much so that even Goethe was impressed: Sirmione, Peschiera, villages, and Scaliger castles are just a few of the wonders we visit. From the lake, we then move along the lush Mincio Valley, where our guide leads us through a fertile yet rugged landscape populated since prehistoric times, witnessing the rise and fall of dozens of cultures, including the Etruscans, Celts, Romans, and Lombards. Always known for its horses, this valley was also one of the cradles of the Italian Renaissance, shaped and chiseled by the expert hands of the immortal masters of the time. Let yourself be transported through places of art, fragrant vineyards, and breathtaking landscapes.
