Uncover the best of Day Trip to Castelli Romani the local Way

"We learned so much on our tour. We saw a beautiful part of the hillside near Rome. And sampled amazing wine and local foods. Book a tour with Claudio. You won’t regret it!"

"I had a brilliant day touring the Castelli Romani with Pierpaolo. He was generous with his time, full of fascinating stories about every town we visited, and simply wonderful company throughout the day. His passion for the area really brought everything to life — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!"

"Tour From start to finish, the tour with Pierpaolo was excellent. He picked us up punctually, and quickly made us feel comfortable with his chatty personality and sense of fun. It was great being guided by a local person, who had knowledge of the area, but also strong family & friend connections. Pierpaolo was funny and engaging, we liked his style and humour. Our tour included Nemi, overlooking the Lake with cake and coffee and also a walking tour around Frascati. Here we spend time at the wine Tavern Fagotto - a great place! We would definitely recommend taking the Tour with Pierpaolo. It was a highlight of our holiday. "

"We spent a thoroughly delightful day with Claudio exploring the Castelli Romani area south of Rome. He met us promptly at our apartment in Frascati and off we went. First to visit the excavation site at Tusculum, followed by a wonderful tour with tasting at a local Frascati Winery. Then we were off to Grottoferatta where we enjoyed an excellent lunch at a local trattoria with homemade pasta, a grilled meat platter and wine of course. Lastly , we drove to Castel Gandolfo, site of the Pope's summer palace, where we walked along the shores of Lake Nemi...one of two lakes in the region formed in the craters of former volcanoes. All in all the perfect day. Grazie mille Claudio!! "

"Claudio was amazing. He customized our tour to accommodate everyone from our family. From the start with local fresh cappuccinos to walking/hiking tour of on the hillside of Tuscolo to an unforgettable lunch at a local restaurant, Claudio paid attention to every detailed. It was a amazing tour. I would HIGHLY recommend Claudio. Thank you again Claudio!!!"

"My husband & I had an amazing tour of the Frascati area; ruins, working farm/vineyard, & authentic dishes. Claudio is very personable, charming, & knowledgeable...we highly suggest booking w/him for a top-notch experience. "

"After many years visiting Rome we finally took the opportunity to get out into the surrounding countryside. A 30 minute train ride brought us to FRASCATI, where we were met by Pierpaolo who drove us to several of the beautiful and diverse towns of the Castelli Romani. Our stops included gorgeous scenery, fascinating history, tastes of wines and foods of the region, and shared comparisons of Italian and American life. Pierpaolo provided experiences we would have never found on our own, including our final lunch spot in FRASCATI, an historic osteria unlike any we’ve ever encountered in all our years in Italy. Overall, an unforgettable three + hours, thanks to Pierpaolo and Withlocals!"

"We had not planned anything for our last day in Rome so I was looking for a short tour and came across this amazing wine tasting tour. I sent a message to Claudio, and he replied immediately, giving us a tailor made plan for a last minute tour that has been the highlight of our stay! Claudio accommodated our requests and did some last minute changes to the program because it was raining. Wow! Everything was excellent and Simone gave us a lot of information on the process of wine making as well as the wine we tasted at the vineyard. We also enjoyed a fantastic lunch with another wine tasting at a restaurant. Unforgettable!! Claudio is truly amazing, he is incredibly knowledgable, very friendly and will make sure you will have a fantastic experience. "

"Claudio was our #1 of the 8 tour guides we had during our trip. We booked a wine and food tour but it became so much more. The wine and food was fantastic but the olive oil was unforgettable. Claudio ended up buying some as well. But the best part was the hidden archeological site he surprised us with. They were actively working the site. No entrance, fee or other tourists, just us and the university archeologists. Thank you Claudio. "

"We had a fabulous day with Pierpaolo. We saw amazing views . We enjoyed wonderful food and wine including strawberries and truffles in Nemi and great wine in Nemi and Frascati. Pierpaolo told us of the history of the area and was extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour if visiting Rome."
