Claudio organized a wonderful day trip from Rome to the Frascati region. After stopping for cappuccino, we toured local ruin with fabulous views of Rome and the surrounding area. Next Claudio took us to a family owned vineyard for wine tasting which was perfect. Last, we had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with one of the best meals of our trip. Claudio was a perfect tour guide for the day - knowledgeable, flexible and considerate of our needs and wants for the day. Thank you Claudio!
Interesting historic stop at Tusculum to see well preserved ruins that actually predate Rome. Then a wonderful family owned winery with an excellent tour of vineyards and the caves and a tasting. Finally a delicious lunch at at Claudio's favorite restaurant. We had delicious fettuccine with porcini mushrooms and a fantastic mixed grill. We also had three excellent local wines with the meal. Claudio was quite knowledgeable and his selection of places could not have been better.
Very prompt and welcoming on arrival. The car was clean and spacious. He was very knowledgeable of Rome and its surroundings and architecture. Our first location was an architectural adventure and the views were stunning. Our second destination the winery was welcoming and informative. Our person gave a tour of the winery and how the industry works in the region. Lunch was at a restaurant where are father is the chef and family ran. The food was delicious and made truly with love. We would book this on our next visit without blinking an eye!
Me and my family of 10 did the private wine tasting in Frascati for my Mother in Laws birthday. Every single one of us said it was the best day of our two week long trip. We had the chance to enjoy wine in an ancient cave, see ruins outside of the city (and go on a mini hike!) and enjoy a delicious lunch in the mountains. I would recommend any group big or small to book this experience. It really was such a wonderful day.
We had the perfect day with Claudio and Luigi. They picked us up at the hotel and took us up into the mountains for a wonderful guided tour. Then there was a visit to an intimate winery with full training and tastings of food and the best wines. Wow! Then there was lunch and more wine at Hosteria Amadeo. And this topped everything and made the whole experience perfect. What a day! For some great guides! For some nice memories. You must try this. Get away from busy Rome for half a day. Memories you will never forget!
Claudio was an amazing guide and driver and companion on this trip. We had an amazing day in the countryside. Recommend to anyone wanting to experience wine close to Rome.
Spending the day with Claudio was a highlight of our trip to Italy! We went on this tour in November of 2023- the weather was perfect for the itinerary for the day! He was very communicative, which made pick up and drop off seamless. We had an incredible experience seeing the archeological sites before heading to the vineyard. We got a special tour of the grounds of the vineyard and could eat the grapes off the vine during our walk with the owner. Claudio then took us to lunch at a quaint restaurant that had the feeling of a place where local families gather on the weekends to enjoy time together. The food and wine was amazing, and the service was incredible every where we went. Claudio really made the day extra special and it was such an easy time spending this time with him. He was so personable and easy going. Would highly recommend him on any tour, but especially this one if you want to get out of the city and spend the day in the country side drinking wine! Thank you, Claudio!
A hidden gem- the picturesque Tuscolo Archaeological Park with the ruins of Emperor Tiberius’s palace overlooking an amazing landscape and then proceeding to Frascati for a marathon of wine tasting at one of the best wineries where a 15th century rock mine has been converted into wine cellars. A unique experience with an excellent guide, Claudio who took very good care of us.
Claudio gave us a nice tour with an archeological site, winery, and restaurant. Our only complaint is that we paid a great deal of money for the tour and have written confirmation of pickup point at the Rome port. But then we were told by Claudio we would be charged an extra large sum of money for the pick up point outside of Rome. We had to pay the extra in cash- seemed a bit odd to us and normal business practice. Viator did have our credit card but we were told we had to pay cash. We would appreciate an explanation.
Dear Susan, the pickup in Civitavecchia port requires extra price as you can see in the tour description since it's 300km extra + highway duties. Usually these transactions happen via credit card if you deal before about that with the supplier. You agreed via text message one week before about that without any questions about how to pay. In case the guest doesn't proceed via credit card directly with Viator at the moment of the booking confirmation, I kindly ask to proceed via paypal. You told me you didn't have an account paypal, so we agreed about cash.
Claudio was wonderful!! He was very knowledgeable about the historical site we visited, beautiful scenery. The wine tasting was amazing, authentic wine caves and a lovely hostess/owner with a delicious selection of wines. White, red and a lovely dessert wine to end with. The restaurant Claudio chose for lunch was like a home cooked meal. Cozy fire, and a friendly staff, and delicious food made lunch very memorable.
