Pontifical Villa Gardens, Castel Gandolfo Audioguid Minibus Tour

In the pope's gardens

The ticket cost was not collected one day before, but 2. Maybe because it was the weekend? Nice experience, but it could be improved: the price seems a bit high to me for a short tour and with the audio guide. Not everything is explained: the Laudato si' village could have been explored in more depth, regarding its intentions and the type of activities that take place there. The 3 breaks for a short walk and to take photos were good. I appreciated the historical explanation, relating to both the archaeological finds and the buildings, statues, and plants. The driver was nice!😄

Private Rome Countryside Tour: Lakes, Wine , Food & Culture

Wonderful driving tour around the lake

Lucio our driver picked us up at the cruise terminal, super easy to find each other. The shuttle van was comfortable and roomy for the 6 of us on the tour. We had gorgeous weather finally on our trip sunny, warm, and blue skies. Lucio gave us a run down of our day and off we went. He is an excellent driver and he communicated very well with us. We had a drop off at an adorable historical lakeside town that we had an hour to just walk around and enjoy coffee and a croissant, then drove for a bit to another lakeside town that had an outdoor market and ended up having the best time looking at local wares. Our next stop was lunch at Osteria Del Borgo. Food was excellent and topped my best meal of our Italian trip. We walked around the outside area of the castle then got back in our van for the drive directly to our hotel by the airport. Lucio took us good care of us, was not pushy and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend this excursion a great way to see a good chunk of countryside with none of the worry of dealing w the stress of driving. Our driver that picked us up start of the trip was also wonderful and it was a smooth process getting to the cruise port. If you can split the cost with others or afford it on your own highly recommend this way of service.
