Kayak, tasting and drinks are included at €65 per person, nothing extra is charged. Morning or afternoon, and the wine is for adults only. In our comparison: #33 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview We will meet on the lake,(www.instagram.com/romekayaktour) after a small breafing on the beach we will immerse ourselves immediately in the wildest nature listening only to the sound of the water that moves with our paddles, where, stopping at some points, we will tell you the history of Castelgandolfo. A dive into the past, from prehistory to ancient Rome, and then to the Pope's trampoline, where the popes loved to spend their summer holidays. Almost at the end of the tour we will dock on an ancient Roman port and we will find ready for us a tasting of wines, meats and cheeses typical of the place, a relaxing break and then finish the tour in just 10 minutes.
