Review of the beginner canyoning tour near Tignale, Lake Garda, with jumps, rappels, a 14-meter slide, gear, photos, and practical tips.
“We had an amazing time (family of 4: 2 adults + 10 and 13 year old). We were joined by another group for the canyoning. Part of the walk in is quite strenuous (uphill walk in wetsuits and the heat) so just prepare yourself for that. Physically that was the most demanding bit! The canyoning itself was amazing fun, very refreshing, challenging at times (the big jumps/slides). I enthusiastically recommend!”

Review of Vione canyoning near Lake Garda, with jumps, swims, safety gear, guide details, pricing, risks, and practical booking advice.
“Let me start from the beginning, because I want to explain why I put 1 star only. We have been on this activity already in Madeira and we have been really satisfied, that's why it's even more disappointing that this time we had terrible experience. First of all I would like to say something positive, and it's that instructor which we had was very experienced, nice and funny. And from there I will start: 1. Right on the beginning we found out that we have only 1 instructor. We were a group of 7 people and only 1 instructor, this seemed unreasonable and irresponsible already on the start, little did…”

Als Beginner-Tour absolut zu empfehlen!!!”

“Great experience! Just right for us beginners. We (with 2 children aged 11 and 7) did the tour 09:30 and were alone with Thomas our guide. The guide helps everyone to get through well, so it was no problem and was mega fun. My son said the tour was on a scale of 1 to 10, a smooth 20!Auto-translated”

Review of Tuscany canyoning: waterfalls, natural slides, safety, guides, gear, price, meeting tips, and who should book this 3-hour adventure.
“Simone and Andrea were excellent guides, being really nice, considerate, safe, yet fun guys. I won't spoil any of the surprises, but this descent was a real thrill ride with a seemingly endless series of water slides. Even a a dull, wet day it was huge fun and I would recommend it to anyone. The previous week we did some canyoning in France near Annecy, which was also good but this experience was more exciting and better value. The only issue we had was finding the start point, but stick to the 5.4 km distance from the main road and you won't miss it. Thanks again to the guys, you…”

“Très belle activité proposée par Miguel de Sicilia Adventure. Le guide a été au top, bienveillant et très sympathique, accompagné d’un autre Miguel, très aidant aussi. Nous étions un petit groupe de 6, ce qui était très appréciable (pas de grands groupes de 20!) et avons parcouru les gorges loin de la horde touristique dans des coins plus tranquilles. Et ça c’était top! Je recommande Sicilia Adventure sans aucune hésitation !”
