In 2 weeks touring central/northern Italy, the tour of Castel Gandolfo with Denis was easily the most spectacular. And not just because of the unique and recent opportunity to tour Castel Gandolfo and its gardens privately and by golf cart, but because of the fantastic transportation from Massimo, and the delightful tasting menu that followed the tour -- the best we had. Denis was as widely knowledgeable about all things Castel Gandolfo, as he was helpful and outgoing. I would consider myself lucky to have such a pleasant tour and guide again.

Abbiamo deciso di fare questo tour per vedere al meglio i giardini e il palazzo apostolico. Il biglietto intero costa 27 euro... Un po' caro ma ben organizzato. Abbiamo saltato la fila e siamo saliti su un pulmino elettrico che ci ha portati in giro per i giardini. Ognuno si noi aveva una audioguida è un addetto ci indicava volta per volta quale numero ascoltare. I giardini sono uno spettacolo tra rovine antiche e alberi meravigliosi. Dopo il giardino si visita il palazzo apostolico.

I giardini, curati in ogni dettaglio, sono immersi in un ambiente silenzioso e mistico. La consapevolezza di percorrere gli stessi viali frequentati dai Pontefici lascia una sensazione indescrivibile. Il Palazzo ripercorre la storia della Chiesa e di tutti i suoi esponenti, dando modo ai visitatori di osservare anche gli alloggi dei Pontefici.
