Full description
Enjoy a unique half-day tour from Rome that will take you to the lovely town of Castel Gandolfo where you will visit the Papal Palace and its stunning landscaped gardens. Castel Gandolfo, built on the site of the legendary ancient settlement of Alba Longa, is one of Italy’s most picturesque towns and has been home to the Papal summer retreat since 1596. Situated in the Regional Park of the Castelli Romani, it enjoys splendid views over the beautiful Lake Albano, which you will be able to admire from the grounds of the Apostolic Palace. On this tour, you will be able to explore the up-to-now hidden gems of this glorious private residence with an audio-guide in the language of your choice. Following this, you will have the opportunity to see the gorgeously manicured Barberini Gardens and the impressive ruins of Emperor Domitian’s villa, before enjoying a lunch prepared with fresh produce from the palace farm! If you have not already done so, you will have the chance to add a tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica with your fantastic guide onto your experience, in which case, upon your return to Rome, you will be dropped off right outside the Vatican.

Die Reise zum Schloss der Päpste sowie insbesondere die Gartenanlage lohnen sich sehr und ich würde diesen Abstecher immer empfehlen. Nach dem Besuch kennt man sich aus mit der Geschichte der Päpste und hat die privaten Räume der Päpste besichtigt; das ist sehr eindrucksvoll und spannend! Bei den Gärten kommt man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr heraus und fühlt sich bereichert, sie besichtigt zu haben. Ich kann das Mittagessen in den Gärten nur empfehlen - leckere römische Spezialitäten samt Vino.

Bardzo dobra organizacja imprezy. Miałam modyfikację programu.Był problem z transportem autokarowym z Rzymu do Castel Gandolfo.. Biuro dodatkowo (poza programem) zorganizowało zwiedzanie Muzeum Watykańskiego i transport specjalnym pociągiem ze stacji Watykan co było dużym przeżyciem. Wycieczkę jak najbardziej POLECAM . Warto zobaczyć Pałac, ogrody .

Die erste geplante Tour fand nicht statt Grund waren Probleme mit dem Auto. Ein Alternativtermin oder Rückabwicklung wurden angeboten. Das war problemlos. Durch den G20 sehr verkürzt, da viele Verkehrsprobleme auftauchen. Die Tour selbst war toll. Mittagessen ist eher ein Imbiss
