The experience was absolutely amazing, made better with the three guides, Alex, Francesco and Matteo. They were talkative and friendly, explained everything, we felt safe, the food was good, enjoyed the gorgeous scenary, swimming part was so nice and refreshing as well.
Francesco was kind enough to give us a lift on the way home, as he lived nearby. Saving us two hours worth of public transport time.

The kayaking was amazing, lovely lake, very relaxing, our tour guide was very friendly and shared lots of information. However the food was not good, everything was soggy and tasteless which we didn’t end up eating, the drink was also awful we had aperol spritz and all you can taste was Prosecco which we also couldn’t drink. The restaurant staff were not very friendly they did not talk just put food on table and left. No one welcomed us we wouldn’t like to return there I’m afraid.

Thank you very much for your feedback Lucy, we will immediately investigate with the restaurant with which we collaborate. Thanks again.

Great Kayak experience. Alex is a wonderful accomplished professional Kayaker. Pick up from Anagnina Station was easy and efficient. Friendly and well spoken he helped one person who had previous difficulties kayaking through the issues give her and enjoyable experience. The water was and weather was beautiful. We will return to kayak the lake again. Highly recommend this tour.

We scheduled this trip as it was out last day in Italy together as a family. The instructors were great, our instruction was Mike, after taking the drive to the lake and then changing our clothes we were in the water and enjoying the scenery.

The tour guide Alex was very friendly- genuinely seemed interested in his customers and no hassle to provide a vegetarian option as one of us was a vegetarian

We had a blast kayaking-wine tasting. We were staying in Castel Gandolfo and were picked up at our door - we had English guides who were great. Take your shoes and a beach coverup in the kayak. Lunch and wine are at a restaurant on the lake and the path up is rocky - highly recommend

Un'esperienza fantastica, molto divertente, con una buona guida ma non spagnola (come dice l'annuncio) e non con una degustazione di vini (come dice l'annuncio), ma con un aperitivo.

Vi fik en rigtig flink guide, som kunne forklare spændende historier om søen og generelle ting omkring rom og historie. Værten var rigtig flink og de hjalp og instruerede godt. Stedet var smukt og en skøn oplevelse som står i kontrast til arkitektur og kunst man godt kan få lidt for meget af inde i rom.

Wunderbare Tour ausserhalb von Roms. Ein perfekter Tag in der Natur, sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Guide mit Lunch (Antipasti) in einem lokalen Restaurant.

Bellissimo pomeriggio nella natura. Lorenzo e Jacopo, le nostre guide, sono stati due ragazzi competenti e simpatici. Ci hanno accompagnato durante questa esperienza super divertente che consiglio a tutti, anche a chi, come noi, è inesperto. Terminare l’attività con un aperitivo vista lago è stato ancora più appagante. Grazie ancora dalla sposa e tutte le sue amiche ;)
