About This Site
This site compares bookable boat trips across Lake Garda, from a 25-minute loop of the Sirmione peninsula to a full day on the water. The lake's options sit scattered across many operators, which makes side-by-side comparison hard.
How These Tour Cards Are Put Together
Every card is built from one tour's live listing. The rating, the review count, the duration, the departure town and the operator name all come from that single page. Nothing is averaged and nothing is inferred. If the listing shows a 4.7 rating across 3,495 reviews, the card says exactly that, because the listing is the authority.
Prices get the same treatment. Every figure on a card comes from the listing, including the basis. Twelve of the 41 tours are private boats priced per group, so a card reads from $252.47 per group, up to 2, rather than a number that could be mistaken for a seat price. The remaining tours are priced per person.
Categories follow how a tour actually runs, not how a marketing page labels it. Shared cruises sit together, sunset aperitivo trips sit together, and private charters, sailboats, no-license rentals and city day trips each get their own group. Seven categories, 41 tours, and no tour counted twice.
Durations are printed as the listing prints them, in minutes or hours. A 25-minute peninsula loop and a 10-hour guided day are described in their own terms, because a family weighing a quick circuit of Sirmione against a full day around the lake needs the honest shape of each option, not a rounded slogan.
What Each Tour Card Draws On
Each card pulls its price, duration, star rating and review count straight from the tour's live booking page. Brochures and recycled directories never supply a number here.
| What a tour must show to earn a card here | Operator name, exactly as booked |
|---|---|
| Ratings and review counts | Star rating and review count |
| Prices | From-price and its per-group basis |
| Cancellation and pickup | Duration in the listing's own units |
| Group sizes, durations and what is included | Departure town, such as Sirmione |
| Appellation and drink-driving rules | Free cancellation, where it applies |
Three Rules These Pages Keep
How This Site Earns
When you book through a link on this site, a small fee comes back to this site from the booking platform at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is the same as the price on the listing. That fee keeps the pages running. No tour operator can pay for a higher place, a kinder write-up or a stronger rating, because rankings follow the listings, not the money.
This site earns money through affiliate links on the tour listings. When a reader books through one of those links, the operator pays this site a fee for the referral, and the reader pays exactly the same price as booking directly. Nothing is added at checkout, and no tour company can buy a better position in the comparisons. Rankings follow published ratings, review counts, price and itinerary, not who pays what. The disclosure page lays out the arrangement, including which booking platforms take part.
Independence comes before income. A trip from a small operator that pays nothing extra sits beside a large operator's flagship cruise, judged on the same figures. If the fee ever shaped a ranking, the site would be worthless as a comparison. So it never does. The only thing that moves a tour up or down a page is what its own listing shows.
