Rome's Hidden Gems: Nemi Lake, Frascati Wine & Papal Views

For our last day in Rome, we decided to visit Castel Gandolfo, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our driver, Costinel, was exceptional—friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a delightful progressive meal that began with a savory starter of porchetta, followed by a wonderful lunch at Ristorante Il Gladiatore in Lanuvio. To top it all off, we savored a delicious strawberry tarta for dessert in the charming town of Nemi. Costinel not only ensured a smooth journey but also enriched our day with local insights and hidden gems. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his company to anyone touring Southern Italy who wants a personalized and memorable adventure.

Our driver, COSTINEL, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, approachable. Excellent language skills. Had a wonderful visit to Castel Gandolfo and the Castelli Romani region. Highly recommended!

Vlad was an amazing guide and driver on this wonderful excursion! We got out of Rome and enjoyed some beautiful countryside and gorgeous lakes - no crowds anywhere to be found! Vlad did a wonderful job of helping us decide what we should see and where we should go and even got a lunch reservation at a delicious restaurant with a fabulous view.

What a fantastic experience with Costinel! We are glad he is English speaking. He was very polite and incredibly accommodating. Even with a significant 4-hour flight delay, he made sure we were taken care of. He knows the street short cuts too. We arrived safe. Excellent service!

Amazing trip… with a great gentleman Matteo A trip to Gandalf residence and surrounding villages, wine tasting and the lake. Very comfortable trip

David was absolutely awesome! He is knowledgeable about Rome and became a friend within mins. He shared personal experiences and was patient with all of our questions. He found hidden gems and really made our trip fun! David literally listened to us and what we wanted accomplish with our time and just made our day with the Rome Countryside Tour. Thank you David! Oh…and he even made a TikTok with us- what a GEM! ❤️

Book this Tour!! We just got back from a most amazing day with Davide! Everything was planned out perfectly, he met us at the Cruise Port and scheduled to take us to the Roman Countryside. He took us to a few amazing spots - the Popes Summer Palace and Some Quaint Italian Towns. He was extremely professional took great care of myself and my mother and tailored the tour to what we wanted! He took us to the sweetest lunch spot with an amazing view of the Lake and recommended local food to try. He took special care to find a store that sold an item we wanted to purchase but thought we had missed out on. I can’t recommend Davide enough, he made the day wonderful and stress free and had us at the airport in plenty of time! Thanks Davide and DriverinRome!!

Having been to Rome a number of times, we wanted to explore the countryside. Davide picked us up at our cruise ship right on time. He was very friendly, spoke english well, provided the background and history of each location and gave us a memorable experience. The views were spectacular. He took us to an excellent restaurant frequented by the locals in Nemi where we shared antipasto and pasta -- a huge array of local flavors and the tiramisu was excellent. The van was very comfortable, with a/c and plenty of room to store our luggage. Highly recommend them.

Posti incantevoli ! Ho visto il lago di Nemi ed assaggiato le sue fragoline. Poi visita al museo delle navi romane. La sera cena a Castel Gandolfo da “Arte e vino “tutto buonissimo !!
