My cousins and I took a day trip to Lake Bracciano and surrounding towns which were about an hour drive from our hotel. We were picked up at our hotel on the Via Veneto by Gilberto, our English speaking guide and driver. It was a fabulous itinerary and we enjoyed it immensely. Gilberto was a pleasure to be with. He ‘s from Bracciano and very knowledgeable of the area. The entire booking process from home was done with ease. Giulia and Karolina’s responses to my emails were very prompt and informative. Look no further for a wonderful, reputable company. I hope to get in touch with Discovery Tours again when I visit the area.

Gilberto was awesome! He drove us through the countryside and small villages. The lake views were beautiful. We walked along the lake shore through a weekend market. It was one of the best tours ever. The culmination of the tour was a wonderful meal at a very authentic local Trattoria. I recommend this tour for those wanting to get another view of the area around Rome.

We had a wonderful day visiting 3 villages around Bracciano Lake. Gilberto picked us up from the cruise port as we disembarked. He gave wonderful information as we drove and made a wonderful recommendation for where we should eat lunch. At the conclusion of the tour we were dropped off at the hotel we'd booked in Rome. Gilberto speaks English extremely well having spent some time in the USA. I highly recommend and will definitely use Discovery Tours again

This was a wonderful tour. We started by going to Calcata which turned out to be one of the most interesting and unique places that we have ever visited. Gilberto is one of the very few people that knows about Calcata and we were incredibly fortunate to go there close to Halloween since it is haunted and has witches. Gilberto genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience and he made this excursion wonderful. Giulia in the office was a pleasure to work with and always answered our questions quickly and with excellent suggestions. This was a very enjoyable and relaxing day for us.
Buonasera! We are so happy to hear you had such a wonderful time with us! Thank You so much for your feedback. We truly appreciate your kind review.
