Description

Discover the stunning Castelli Romani region in style with this exclusive private vintage car tour from Rome. Travel aboard one of the lovingly restored classics: a 1958 Triumph TR3 Cabriolet, a 1969 Siata Spring, a 1973 Rover TC 2000, an Alfa Romeo Junior, or an iconic open-top Volkswagen T1 Samba minibus. Begin in the heart of ancient Rome with a panoramic view over the Circus Maximus, where roaring crowds once cheered epic chariot races. Just above, the Palatine Hill marks the very place where Rome was founded in 753 BC. From there, climb to the Aventine Hill, one of the city's most romantic and serene corners. Take in the enchanting views from the Orange Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden filled with over 1,200 blooming varieties (seasonal), and discover the famous Knights of Malta Keyhole. A magical optical illusion where St. Peter’s dome is perfectly framed by ancient hedges. Next, follow the legendary Ancient Appian Way, known as the Regina Viarum, the Queen of All Roads. This historic path once led Roman legions to distant lands and still echoes with ancient footsteps. It's even mentioned in the Bible (Acts 28:11–16) as the place where St. Peter met Jesus. Pause at Il Baretto, a charming café nestled along this sacred road, where you can sip coffee at the same table featured in House of Gucci, filmed with Al Pacino, Lady Gaga, and Adam Driver. Leave the city behind, wind through oak-lined hills and past old vineyards toward Castel Gandolfo, a jewel perched above Lake Albano and the summer residence of the Popes. Explore the cobblestone streets, artisan shops, and if you wish, enter the Papal Palace and the Secret Gardens of the Vatican, a hidden Eden rarely open to the public. With a new Pope recently elected, you might even witness a Papal Mass from the balcony of the Apostolic Palace. Lunch awaits you by the lake, in a traditional Roman trattoria with local wine and fresh flavors. The view is unforgettable, the taste, pure Roman soul. (We include also water, local wine and espresso). Afterward, continue to the nearby Lake Nemi, surrounded by forests and legend. Taste the region’s famous wild strawberries, paired with custard and coffee on a terrace with breathtaking views, or explore the Roman Ship Museum, where the majestic floating palaces of Emperor Caligula, once lost to history, have been resurrected. And, if you’re in the mood, stop for a delightful artisanal gelato, a true treat to refresh yourself while soaking in the beauty of the countryside. To close the day in comfort, enjoy a hassle-free return to Rome. After 5–6 hours of discovery, board a prebooked, air-conditioned panoramic train from Castel Gandolfo. Enjoy views of the lake, vineyards, and ancient aqueducts as you glide back into the Eternal City in just 20-25 minutes, you’ll arrive at Rome Termini, right in the city center.
