Private Driver Lake Garda area

Hello, I'm planning to visit Riva del Garda for 4 or 5 days from Florence during the last week of October. I would like to arrange to be driven from the train station in Peschiera into Riva and back, as well as a possible day trip to Ortisei and its surrounding area in the Dolomites. Can anyone please recommend a local, English-speaking private driver to suit these needs?

On a recent trip from Ortisei to Malcesine and later from Malcesine to Peschiera, my driver was Andrea Chignola, owner of Chi-Car: [email protected], +39 333 7659 726. He's based in Malcesine, drives a Mercedes, speaks perfect English, is a delightful person, and I could not have been more pleased. Another person on this forum had found him first via her hotel and recommended him.

I have no idea how far afield he goes, but he was very communicative via email.

Happy planning!

Edited to add: I should have mentioned that I had taken the train from Bolzano to Rovereto and that Andrea picked me up at the Rovereto train station.

Hi Janet, thank you so much for sharing! Andrea sounds like he'd be just what we're looking for.
