Castel Gandolfo Kayak Tour with Wine and Food Tasting
Description
We will meet on the lake,(www.instagram.com/romekayaktour) after a small breafing on the beach we will immerse ourselves immediately in the wildest nature listening only to the sound of the water that moves with our paddles, where, stopping at some points, we will tell you the history of Castelgandolfo. A dive into the past, from prehistory to ancient Rome, and then to the Pope's trampoline, where the popes loved to spend their summer holidays. Almost at the end of the tour we will dock on an ancient Roman port and we will find ready for us a tasting of wines, meats and cheeses typical of the place, a relaxing break and then finish the tour in just 10 minutes. A unique experience to store in your Roman vacation

Enrico met us at Lake Albano and was an excellent local guide. He’s friendly, speaks English very well, and explained the geography and history of Lake Albano. The pace of the kayak tour was easy and relaxing.
Beautiful experience on Lake Albano, we had a great time. It was interesting to discover some history thanks to our guide Flavio. We look forward to returning!
The experience itself is very nice but the missing things are too much and deficit. It says they provide technical material for kayaking none of that. We completed wet the only garments we had because they give absolutely nothing, except the lifebuoy that by law they must provide you. I invite you to write to bring flip-flops or rock shoes, as we to reach the restaurant we made a path of glass and barefoot thorns. In the 'aperitif cheeses we have not even seen them from afar.
This was my first time kayaking and I had the best experience with Lorenzo! He made me feel comfortable and confident on the water. My friends and I really enjoyed it!
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.
Bellissimo tour accompagnati da Nicole che é stata una guida fantastica! For us it was the first time kayaking and for me also the first bath in a lake! Nicole was very good at explaining and reassuring us given our inexperience, she took us to a fantastic corner to swim, explained a bit of history of the place and also some curious and funny anecdotes! Da rifare sicuramente! I would review the restaurant that deals with the aperitif, especially since Nicole and the Academy deserve top marks!
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.
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful small town and break from the city. A great day trip from rome. All kayaking abilities can do this. Alex was a great tour guide and told us a lot about the local town and places to go! Castel Gandolfo was so beautiful and just a short walk from the lake.
Very fun and above all safe experience. Micheal, Francesco and Carlotta were formidable instructors. It is recommended to bring a towel, swimsuit, spare t-shirt and rock shoes.
