Verona in early May: day trips, esp Lake Garda

Will be in Verona for several days in early May, at the end of a cycling trip. I’ll have one day before cycling to see Verona but will have 3 days after. Would like to see Lake Garda and am wondering the best way to do that: where to catch the ferry, etc. And other nearby day trips, especially to smaller places. I’m open to hiring a local guide. I expect to be tired after the cycling trip so looking for low stress, relaxing sightseeing.

Thanks in advance.

We stayed in Saló on the SW coast and Malcesine on the NE area of the lake. Saló has a lakefront promenade and lovely shops. Italian friends recommended we stay there and we saw few from the US, mostly Italians and Germans.
Malcesine has pretty mountain views.
We stayed at a hotel with it’s own beach.
We were coming and going from the incredibly beautiful Dolomites.
