Absolutely amazing tour. A part of Italy I wouldn’t have known to visit and was so worth it! Pier was a wealth of knowledge and very fun to be with for the day. Incredible views, history, and tastings. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding tour with Pier .A local with a wealth of knowledge . We both thoroughly enjoyed it so much. And so nice to get away from the crowds in Rome. The little towns are just exquisite . Lots of beautiful views over the lake .

Pierpaolo (Pier) is a great guide, and he knows his territory very well, communicating his enthusiasm to everyone who is listening! The little towns known as the Castelli Romani (Roman Castles) are full of history and very good food and wine, you will be able to appreciate them enjoying an incredible view of the volcanic lakes that surround Rome

The personal guide, Pier, was excetptional not only was beauty of the area displayed but the feel of rural Italy was given to us to us in an emotive and elegant manner. Pier is a rockstar.

Our host was very hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly ! We enjoyed our time in the various areas and Pier made us feel very welcome. He was also accommodating with my older parents. Would definitely recommend him to others !

What a fun day with a great guide! PietroPaulo was the perfect person to show us around this gorgeous area. Only a short train ride from Rome, we felt completely transported to a different world. Beautiful lakes, delicious food, fresh air…treat yourself to a different side of Rome.

Pier is an amazing and passionate guide, he really knows so much about the region and was an excellent host. Absolutely one of the best tours I’ve ever been on and the views in these wonderful picturesque little towns just outside of Rome are incredible!

Wonderful local guide, so kind and informative. Brought to life the history, culture and the charms of the present. Capped off by a wonderful chat and local snacks viewing gorgeous Lago Nemi. Unusually superb!!

This is a fantastic tour of the close by country side of Rome. Easily accessible by train from Termini Roma….25 min ride to Frescati where you will meet the tour guide, Pier. A truly authentic guide who is a local passionate of his region. He took us through Castel Gandolfo, Nemi and Frascati. Beautiful small Italian villages with spectacular views. Pier was so personable and kind. He took the time to explain the « in’s and out’s » of each village. We were so jet lagged upon our arrival the day before…but Pier’s tour energized us as it was so interesting and educational. We missed the 1st train to Frescati as we were on the wrong platform. Pier was kind enough to wait for us and delay our tour by 1 hour. Thank you Pier for transferring the love of your region to us. The best and nicest guide you can have. Recommend 1000%! The highlight of my trip :)

Our guide Pier is truly a Renaissance man; he is very well versed in the history, culture, geography, food, music, and natural areas of the Castelli Romani region of Italy southeast of Rome. He took us on a driving excursion stopping at several of the area's towns and villages and narrating as we drove. We sampled area wine and foods along the way. He also allowed us a few minutes to shop for gifts in the towns we stopped in. After our tour he offered advice on other things to see and do and where to dine. Pier was very personable and welcoming, and his car, which we toured in, was very clean. My husband and I highly recommend his tour. The area is beautiful and is famous for their white wine, strawberries, and other produce (such as pears, olives, Hazelnuts, chestnuts and pork). The tour is well worth the booking fee and gives you a superb overview of the region. Pier's tour made us want to see more of the region!
