I have just done this trip in June and loved it. Verona was amazing- We had a quick tour on the coach, left at an easy stop by the Arena and given a map with details of what to see. Touched Juliet's right boob for good luck and love- still waiting! The courtyard is crazy-so many tourists!!!! I went on the trip to the opera at Verona- wow.
Venice was spectacular, our manager Aideen got us onto gondolas and a good deal on a restaurant in St Marks square. Beware the prices. Someone was heard to pay £15 for a coffee!
Loved Lake Garda, beautiful place. The cliffhanger lunch at Tremosine was fun and well worth the money.
Have fun, I am so jealous, Jan.
