Discover a fascinating world at a short distance from Rome, a tour in the heart of the Roman countryside, the “Castelli Romani”: a real unique experience. The tour starts from your hotel, riding along the “Via Appia Antica“ to admire the beautiful countryside and historical villages such as Castel Gandolfo, the Pope’s summer residence. Stop for a visit to a winery (optional required) where you will have a tasting of 4 types of the finest wines from this flourishing area with tastings of local products. The tour continues on the shore of the volcanic origin Lake Albano to taste the famous “Porchetta” and other typical local products and sip the local wine “Romanella”. Then you will reach Nemi, where the famous Museum of Roman Ships is located, famous for its Strawberry Festival (first weekend in June) and for its lake surrounded by a very magical atmosphere. Then back to Rome.

Great guide and driver would do it again tomorrow. Villages were quaint and I would have otherwise missed them.

While our tour was good and our guide was excellent, I think the company is somewhat shady. We scheduled the tour for 10:30 am and it was confirmed by us and by them multiple times. The day before the tour they changed the time to 9 am and then changed it again to 8:30 am. One of our group was not able to make a tour that was 2 hours earlier than we had booked and he would have never have committed to that time or this tour at that time. When we requested a return of his portion of the money citing their change of the contract, it was denied with no explanation. For them to keep $182.68 when the issue was entirely their fault is very poor business practice.

The tour guide and driver were excellent. I would have given this tour 5 stars except for the vehicle that they used. It was a VW van and we were in the small 3rd seat. We are 6’3”:and 5’8” so it was very cramped. In addition, the air conditioning in the van was not working properly and it was extremely warm in the 3rd seat.

We had a wonderful tour, just the two of us, with a wonderful guide and driver. Castel Gondolpho was the highlight of the trip and especially the wine tasting at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the lake. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent tour to see beautiful areas outside Rome. We selected this tour at the last minute because another tour was cancelled. I am so Very glad we did. We visited Castel Gandolfo and Nemi, both delightful towns. We had a fantastic lunch overlooking beautiful Lake Albano and had several wonderful wines. This was truly a wonderful day and our guide, Pino was perfect. I highly recommend this tour.

Having seen many of the required attractions in Rome, we looked for a way to relax a bit. Maybe a drive in the country!! This tour took us to Lake Gondolfo and the Saint Gondolfo Cathedral that has been visited by the Pope. The lake is nestled inside a volcanic caldera. The site is breathtaking.
We toured a wine cellar and tasted local wines. We sat on the balcony of the Ristorante Pagnanelli sipping wine accompanied by tastes from the area. What a great way to relax after a heavy tourist schedule. Did I say it was beautiful?

Antoinette & Enzo were fabulous! We could not have asked for a better experience. We felt so lucky to have such marvelous guides, who assisted every step of the way. Friends from the ship knew that they had missed out on their "shore excursion". I would use them again in a heartbeat!

This tour was amazing. I went with my mom and she loved it too. The staff is great and they make you feel very special. The sites were breathtaking and good shopping too. I had an amazing time and would even consider going again if I ever get back to Roma.
