What people are saying about Castel Gandolfo
Great tour of Castel Gandolfo and the Vatican
We enjoyed a great tour of Castel Gandolfo and the Vatican last week. The tour began (by bus) with a trip to the Pope’s private gardens, followed by the Apostolic Palace - both beautiful destinations. We were even given a snack apparently straight from the Pope’s private farm before they allowed us to stroll around on our own for lunch. There were a few cute places to eat within walking distance of the sites (with prices less expensive then Rome city center). The town itself was beautiful and very quiet. And definitely off the radar for most tourists visiting Rome. The bus took us back to Rome in the afternoon to begin our 3-hour tour of the Vatican Museums and then Saint Peter’s. There was a live guide for this part of the tour – who was fabulous. At Castel Gandolfo, we were given an audio guide but were accompanied around by a tour lead. Normally I prefer live-guided tours but this seemed to work perfectly for the destination. Highly recommended experience!
Wonderful Day Tour of Castel Gandolfo, Vatican Museums and St. Peter's
Wonderful way to spend the day if you’ve already seen most of the main historical destinations in the city center. The tour began a little early (8:00 am) with a bus ride to the small town of Castel Gandolfo where the Pope’s summer residence is. We rode first by bus, then by a mini eco-train around the sites in this beautiful mountaintop town. After visiting the Pope’s private gardens and the Papal Palace, we were given some time to eat lunch and walk about town a little. This incredibly adorable town sits at the top of the mountain, overlooking the lake so on a clear day (which we luckily had) the views were breathtaking. Definitely enjoyed the morning at Castel Gandolfo more than the afternoon at the Vatican – but a visit there is a must when in Rome. If it were a longer trip, we would’ve liked to spend more time in Castel Gandolfo and around the Castelli Romani. Such a nice change of pace from the city center and so beautiful!

Amazing day trip to Castel Gondolfo and Vatican City!
The trip starts in Castel Gondolfo where we've seen the beautiful gardens of the Pope's summer residence and the Apostolic Palace. It was so beautiful and peacefull! Then we had a break for lunch and we eat in a really nice little restaurant before to go back to Rome. The visit of the Vatican Musems and Sistine Chapel was amazing, and to finish the visit to St. Peter's Basilica was wonderfull! In the morning you have an audioguide with good information and in the afternoon we had a live guide who was so nice and knowledgeable! All our day trip was really well organised, I recommend it 100%!
transport from anagnina (metro station) to gandolfo was perfectly organised, the guides are the best! you definitely won‘t regret it, looking forward to visit them again
