Itinerary

Spend a full day exploring the historic town of Cassino on this private day trip from Rome. Choose from a driver-only tour or upgrade to include a licensed tour guide at checkout.

Get picked up at your hotel in central Rome by a professional driver in a luxury minivan. Enjoy the scenery during the drive to the Abbey of Montecassino. Hear about the abbey from your driver and guide before you arrive. Take a self-guided tour of the abbey, originally built in the 6th century and rebuilt to repair damage after World War II. Visit the museum after your tour of the abbey, if you like, for another self-guided tour.

Then, pay your respects to fallen World War II soldiers at the Polish War Cemetery and the Commonwealth War Cemetery, many of whom freed Italy from Nazi Germany.

Visit the battlefield of the Rapido River and the Freedom Bell near the village of Sant' Angelo, and finally the ruins of San Pietro Infine.

Make the return drive to Rome after you've finished your tour.

Paolo was great! Very nice and professional. It was very interesting to see the old battle site. It was also interesting to see the modern day town of Cassino.

10 out of 10 Would love to return. An amazing experience with the best people.

Hunter_A, Sep 2024

As a history connoisseur it has been a dream of mine to visit Monte Cassino. The area is covered in reach history and beautiful landscapes. My wife and I were blown away by the amazing tour experience we received from Miguel our tour guide and Paolo or driver. They both went above beyond to make sure we had a great experience and learned about the deep history covering Monte Cassino. They are two of the kindest people we met during our time in Italy. Both had a great respect and knowledge of the historical places we visited. 10 out of 10 would love to visit the abbey and the town of Cassino again with Miguel and Paolo.

Excellent care and service from our guide and driver.

Kathy_P, Sep 2023

We wanted to spend most time visiting the abbey church at Montecassino. Our guide, Francesco, listened to our priority of doing this and ensured that we had all the time we wanted. He was sensitive and extremely knowledgable. We could not have had anyone better. We visited the war graves as well and learned a great deal. Our driver, Giovanni, was equally competent caring and friendly. Grateful thanks to them both.

Nice driver and pleasant drive to Cassino from our Rome hotel. Our guide / historianAnna Maria that met us in Cassino was excellent. The tour would not have been as interesting if not for her. She took an interest in the reasons we wanted to visit Montecassino and answered all questions that we put to her. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in WWII and the battle in Cassino.

A fantastic tour and for an extra...
