Private Tour to Castel Gandolfo

Posted by (Washington) on

I'm looking for a private tour guide to do a trip to Castel Gandolfo in September. I've used Rick's books for years and years to see so much of Europe and this day trip is one part of a whole trip to Athens, the Greek Islands and Rome. We've already done the whole Rome tour last time we were in Italy (I served as the guide except at the Vatican).

I'd like to just go on auto pilot for a day with someone else doing the planning and guiding.

Can anyone recommend a private guide we could meet at our hotel or the train station?

Thanks

beautiful countryside day trip: castelli romani. take a short train (30-40 minutes from rome) to frascati train station. Pierpaolo will meet you and take you on an adventure through the small town/villages and lake nemi. any question you can contact him on the website.

an older article but has lots of info about lake nemi, known for their sweet strawberries and the temple of the ancient roman deity diana (hunting goddess of the woods). local strawberry made into liquers, jams/jellies, tea, desserts. nemi boat museum

read up the "headers" of this family owned winery and what tours are offered. stop by ceralli forno a legna (piazza bambocci 15)
saw a special about this pizza oven, "best porchetta" and bakery with so many goodies.

I did one with The Tour Guy to part of the vatican and then the direct train from inside the Vatican to Castel Gandolfo.....I bet it was part of the Vatican's offerings with just an escort or a LITTLE something extra from the Tour Guy....it wasn't private, but we had only like 15 or so people I think? There might be options like that through the Vatican or outside companies. Not sure about private though.
