***Keep in mind that all these information are arranged on the departure from MENAGGIO; of course, in case you will decide to departe from another place, these information are not valid.
Remember that it is mandatory to make stops every 2 hours of the tour, so for example during a 6hrs boat tour we have to stop twice; during a 8hrs boat tour we need to stop 3 times.
