Wonderful trip to Verona
The trip was very good, but just know that when you get to Verona you’re on your own. The driver was fabulous. He came over four hours to pick us up. Was always on time and extremely friendly.

You learn how good a company is when things go wrong
Well its not a perfect world and things go wrong sometimes. This trip there was a terrible accident and our driver was stuck in traffic. He was 2 hours late BUT the company stayed in communication with us and so did he. He sent pics if the traffic and his distance from his dash showing us constantly as he made progress. The company offered several extra hours in whatever place we chose to make up for being late at no additional charge. Once he arrived, A TRULY WONDERFUL YOUNG MAN was our driver. He apologized over and over despite it was beyond his control. His driving was fantastic and he chose locations close to the sights we wanted to see and helped us find foot routes to maximize our time. It was almost like our son was driving us around. We are older and I have mobility issues and he really really took great care of us. The company checked in on us several times to make sure things were fine. They were more than fine they were fantastic. I am truly impressed with the company, the driver and the tour. Jakub is the young mans name. Request him if you can, especially if you are older because he truly cares for his guest. All I can really say about the company is thank God I chose them
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. We truly appreciate your understanding when unexpected traffic delays affected the start of your day, and we are glad our team and Jakub kept communication clear throughout. It is wonderful to hear that once underway, Jakub made the experience comfortable, safe, and well-paced, especially with your mobility needs in mind. We are very pleased he helped you make the most of Verona and Lake Garda with thoughtful stops and walking routes. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we would be delighted to welcome you on another Europe Journey trip in the future.

Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back cost?
+
Prices start at $486 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private day trip from Venice to Verona, Lago di Garda & back start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
