Extraordinary castle - This jewel can also give those who have visited other similar buildings the exact idea of what a manor is. Absolutely not to be missed.

Lunch and the castle - Our guides were fabulous! Lunch was amazing, the best pasta I have ever eaten! Andrea and our second guide were so knowledgeable and personable and the castle was spectacular.

An Excellent Trip with Andrea to Bracciano Castle - We visited the Bracciano Castle with Andrea as a tour guide. He was excellent! He picked us up from Largo Della Pace and drove us first to a smaller castle. Important tip: try not to schedule the earliest possible tour (8am). He was surprised that MLI allowed us to do this, because nothing (including the smaller castle) is truly open until 10 and cafes aren’t really open for lunch until after noon. But he led us around the castle to get a great (and cooler) view of the sea in addition to a beach. We then made our way to Bracciano Castle, and he guided us right to the front desk where our tickets were all paid for. The castle tour is essentially self-guided…Andrea said to text him when we were finished. The castle itself was very impressive, but it was not easy to climb all of the stairs for older folks. This was still a very impressive sight. After the castle, he took my wife, my kids and I (grandparents stayed behind to rest) on a walking tour of the city, and led us to another nice outlook looking over Lake Bracciano. We then came back to a restaurant near the castle that served us a very laid-back three-course “light” Italian lunch that was excellent (and super-filling…don’t eat a lot of breakfast!). Lunch was fully included. After lunch, he drove us back to the cruise ship area, and we thanked him and parted ways. All together, this was about 7 hours. We would highly recommend this for an off-the-beaten-path excursion in the Rome area. And of course we would highly recommend Andrea…he was great, and my son really appreciated his great English. One final tip: you do NOT have to wear pants if it is super-hot. That was a mistake! But overall, a great experience.

Disappointing - Viator booked us with a pick up at our hotel. Which I have in the confirmation. The day of the pick up the driver went to the port. I contacted him saying we were at the hotel waiting. The response I got back said they didn’t service that area. I am trying to get a refund. Viator should not have booked this.
