This is an excellent tour! If you have an extra day while in Rome book this tour! It could not have been nicer. The wine, the food, the countryside, the tour guide… Everything was perfect. Antoinetta and Peter were so accommodating and nice and full of knowledge. It was a wonderful day!

Wonderful Private Tour of the Roman Countryside

Leandro_G, Mar 2026

We had a great experience on this tour overall. First, I want to highlight our tour guide and driver, Antonietta & Pietro. They were both excellent. Very friendly, professional, and never rushed us at any point. Our tour was completely private, just my wife and me. They picked us up right on time at 10 AM from our Airbnb and communication before and during the tour was very good. The drive about 35–40 minutes south of Rome was beautiful, and the places we visited were very nice. The food and wine we tried were also very good and felt very authentic to the region. The only reason this is not a 5/5 experience for us is the visit to the wine cellar, which also serves as a small wine museum. This felt like the most important part of the tour, but unfortunately there was very little explanation about the wines or the history of the cellar. There was a lot to see and many wines displayed, but neither the tour guide nor the restaurant staff explained much about them, which made that part feel a bit confusing and incomplete. Other than that, the experience was wonderful. It’s also worth mentioning that if you are specifically looking for a detailed wine tasting tour, this may not be the best option. This tour is more about enjoying the Roman countryside, visiting small towns, trying local food, seeing beautiful places, and tasting some wines along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a romantic and private day exploring the countryside outside of Rome.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that Antonietta and Pietro made your private tour so enjoyable and that you loved exploring the Roman countryside, visiting charming towns, and tasting local food and wine. We appreciate your feedback about the wine cellar visit. We want to note that this tour is designed as a discovery of the Roman countryside, rather than a detailed wine tasting experience. While you do get to enjoy some local wines along the way, the main focus is on the scenery, culture, and authentic experiences of the region. We’re glad that, overall, you had a wonderful and romantic day, and we truly appreciate your recommendation for others seeking a private countryside adventure outside of Rome.

Breathtaking views! Hidden gems

An unforgettable day in Lazio! From the cobblestone streets to a scenic drive just an hour outside Rome, this tour had it all—fabulous wine tasting near the Pope’s summer residence, lunch on a cliff overlooking a lake, and even a stop for cappuccino and strawberry pastries! A special highlight was meeting a local artist in Nemi who welcomed us into his underground tunnel and museum—so unique! Huge thanks to our amazing guide Frenchrsca and fantastic driver Maximus for making the day smooth, fun, and full of unforgettable moments. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for such a beautiful and enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your day in Lazio was so memorable. From the charming cobblestone streets to the scenic drive just outside Rome, it sounds like you truly experienced the magic of the area. We love that you enjoyed the wine tasting near Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo, the breathtaking lunch overlooking Lake Nemi, and of course the delicious cappuccino and famous strawberry pastries in Nemi! Meeting the local artist and visiting his underground tunnel museum is indeed a very special and unique touch. A heartfelt thank you for mentioning Francesca and Maximus we will be delighted to share your kind words with them. Making the day smooth, fun, and unforgettable is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another incredible Italian experience! 😊🍷
