Recommended! - A great change from the crowded streets of Rome. The lake is beautiful and clean. After a short introduction we went to the kayaks. After a while on the road, we took a break on a beach. From there we could go swimming, after that we had delicious pizza for everyone. The guides were very nice, especially Francesco was very attentive and well informed.

Nice trip for a while away - It was a fun and well organized activity. From Rome you will be at the pick-up location within 30 minutes. You get an instruction and get on the water. You get the space to go a bit faster and slower and the guides check how t goes along the way. They still give.information about the history and you had time to swim. T was a very successful trip. Perfect to get away from the crowds and still be active.

Great and unforgettable - Great experience, I'll never forget it!
The lake was beautiful and clean, and as a first experience, riding a kayak was enjoyable.
Thank you, Francesco and Simone.

Relaxing experience with Francesco! - Very nice and relaxing experience, Francesco was a gentle and profissional guide and made sure we had a pleasant morning on the lake (the pizza he offered us was excellent às well). We could see ducks, fishes AND turtles and the water looked very clean.
The only downside is the bathroom available for kayakers…awful conditions, looking like it hasn’t been cleaned for all the high season (that now is ending). Dirty to extremes.
