I did the Roman Countryside tour by Vespa and had Alessio as my guide. It was by far the BEST experience I have had in all my visits to Italy (lived here for 6 mos and visited 3 more times). I have seen a lot of what Rome has to offer multiple times and I was looking to see and experience something different and off the beaten path. This tour did not disappoint. It honestly didn’t feel like a tour but like spending the day with an old friend. We saw the Pope’s summer home, Nemi, and other mountain and lake towns, did a tour of the Roman wall, lots of other mini tours - had lunch at a local restaurant in Nemi (where Alessio went above and beyond to accommodate my Celiac). I learned so much and he was even very patient with me practicing my Italian. I highly recommend! My only recommendation is to make sure you dress for the weather and wear proper shoes and don’t bring much of anything. It rained on our way home so I was happy I was bundled up and had a messenger bag that I didn’t have to worry about getting wet.
