Explore the beautiful villages of the Albano Mountains with this tour of the Castelli Romani region. You'll visit the towns of Castel Gandolfo, Nemi & Rocca di Papa!

Castelli Romani Private Excursion

At 9:30 am on the morning of the tour, we'll meet at the Frascati train station. From there, we'll travel by car to our first destination, Castel Gandolfo, just 20 minutes away.

Upon arrival, we'll conduct a sightseeing tour of this town and view the exterior of the Pope's summer residence. We will discuss the history of Alexander VII, the first bishop of Rome to spend time in the Papal Palace of Castel Gandolfo, and the contributions of the Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Next, we will drive along Lake Albano to Nemi, one of the smallest villages in the Castelli Romani region, offering remarkable views of the hills. We will proceed to Rocca di Papa to admire its 12th-century castle and learn about its significance during World War II.

The final stop will be in Frascati. We will explore its historic center and visit a winery to taste the local white wine, paired with a typical Italian aperitif. During the tasting, we will discuss how the volcanic soils contribute to the unique flavors of the wine.

After the tasting, the tour concludes back at the starting point at 12:30 pm.
