“Such a great day, Stefania the guide is amazing, enthusiastic and engaging. The winery, vineyard wine, food and all who work there should be very proud of what they have.

“Such a cool area so close to Rome. The history of the buildings in the vineyard and the old Roman tunnels were so fascinating. Not to mention being greeted by Orso (the winery dog) at the start of the tour! ❤️. The second part of the tour in Frascati was just as enjoyable with our tour guide who was hilarious and so welcoming. Such a fun 1/2 day getaway from Rome”
Tour Castel Gandolfo’s Papal Gardens by open minibus, see Domitian’s ruins and Lake Albano, and add the observatory domes or porchetta lunch.
“The experience was terrible. We paid 44 euros for the activity and couldn’t do the activity. The instructions from the email were not clear and we just were not able to do the activity. We immediately called but this company did charge us the money.”
Escape Rome for Frascati wine, ancient cellars, local food, vineyard views, and a relaxed six-hour day trip by train.
“The wine tour itself was a wonderful and informative experience. After that it was all downhill! Our next guide walked us through the town pointing out a few things then had us seated at the restaurant and left us at the mercy of staff who were not happy to have our group there. Not a pleasant experience. Slow to serve us and food not great.”
Pick a ruin, a gallery or a kitchen.
