Our tour guide and driver were very nice they were very knowledgeable of the areas we were visiting would definitely recommend this tour

Bill_D

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.

Gina_P

This tour was amaizng. Antoinette and Josh were exceptional. Antoinette was extremely knowledgable and got outside of Rome to see some of the best of the countryside. Highly recommend this tour!

Joseph_M

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.

Linda_L

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?

Barbara_W

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!

Sally_C

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.

<p>This tour exceeded our expectations in so many ways. First, we thought this was a small group tour...well as it turned out we were the only ones who booked that day Aug 17, 2018 so voila....private tour. Antonietta was our awesome guide along with Adam our driver. Castel Gandolfo is a pretty little town along the rim of an ancient volcanic lake. We started our day in town with a tasting in a local shop. From there we went for a pairings lunch to Ristorante Pagnanelli - one of the owners was our host....what a special treat. The was setup on their balcony overlooking the lake. Breathtaking. From here we experienced likely the best porcetta I have ever had My wife is Italian and she agreed. And ended the day in Nemi for an excellent strawberry treat. And for a surprise last visit we stopped at a McDonalds on the way home. I wont tell you what this was about...youll just have to experience it for yourself. </p> <p>..didnt hesitate....you wont be disappointed</p>
