Great Kayak experience. Alex is a wonderful accomplished professional Kayaker. Pick up from Anagnina Station was easy and efficient. Friendly and well spoken he helped one person who had previous difficulties kayaking through the issues give her and enjoyable experience. The water was and weather was beautiful. We will return to kayak the lake again. Highly recommend this tour.

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful small town and break from the city. A great day trip from rome. All kayaking abilities can do this. Alex was a great tour guide and told us a lot about the local town and places to go! Castel Gandolfo was so beautiful and just a short walk from the lake.

We had the most amazing time kayaking with Andrea. We booked this quite last minute but we’re so glad we did. I’d never kayaked before but this didn’t matter. Andrea gave us a quick lesson on how to paddle and then we set off on the lake. Andrea knew lots of interesting information about the lake and was clearly passionate about being outdoors and exploring, we felt very at ease with him and chatted and laughed the whole way round the lake. The food tasting was good and consisted of different local meats and cheese with some Prosecco. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you to Andrea and the rest of the team! This was such a great way to get away from the crowds of the big cities.

We scheduled this trip as it was out last day in Italy together as a family. The instructors were great, our instruction was Mike, after taking the drive to the lake and then changing our clothes we were in the water and enjoying the scenery.

The tour guide Alex was very friendly- genuinely seemed interested in his customers and no hassle to provide a vegetarian option as one of us was a vegetarian
