A bit disappointed

Alan_O, Aug 2022

We were a bit disappointed with this trip. First the picnic part was canceled and after asking if there was any credit was offered 25 euros ( total for two that seems below value) Second the driver who was very nice and helpful basically is a glorified taxi driver.. fyi car was very nice and clean So could have booked taxis from Rome and back for $200 and less, about $55 for entry so a 50% profit to the tour company However the worst part was that the driver did not stay and returned to Rome for some other job and we had to wait in horrendous hot weather for about 11/2 hours longer than needed FYI 1 hr is enough for Castello, 1 hr for garden tour, 1 hr for lunch and 40 mins to 1 hr for village is enough... total max needed is 4 hrs

A must do - to take a break from hustle/ bustle of the city (Rome)

Riding the golf cart back after our picnic provided better opportunities for great photos 👍 The audio tour was very helpful & we were able to do the Pope’s Palace / Museum at our own pace
