ポンティフィカル・ヴィラ・ガーデンズ、カステル・ガンドルフォ・オーディオガイド・ミニバスツアー

The ticket cost was not collected one day before, but 2. Maybe because it was the weekend? Nice experience, but it could be improved: the price seems a bit high to me for a short tour and with the audio guide. Not everything is explained: the Laudato si' village could have been explored in more depth, regarding its intentions and the type of activities that take place there. The 3 breaks for a short walk and to take photos were good. I appreciated the historical explanation, relating to both the archaeological finds and the buildings, statues, and plants. The driver was nice!😄

I find myself forced to leave only 2 stars, for a place that could be really nice. The first reason is definitely the neglect of the whole garden, so much so that with the internal shuttles they make only two stops, precisely in the most cared for places. The gardens, the real and well-kept ones are a different matter, and in Italy there are really many! I only regret that at the head of all this is the Papal States very rich (at least from what I have been told) and even if it were not so, with the money of the tickets (very expensive for what you see) you could do so much, but so much more. The second reason is that you take a quick ride, not even half an hour, with only two stops.

Arrive EARLY because from where one parks to the meeting place it's a bit of a hike. Minibus tour of gardens is lovely. Many photo ops. About 3-4 stops where we exited the minibus and we're permitted @ 7 minutes to walk around. Hiccup at check-in with accepting our VIATOR tickets.

1 hour tour very interesting and well done, you get to see all the gardens without getting tired. Possibility to make stops and get off to take wonderful photos. I recommend it.

Gardens are beautiful, however signage for where to meet for garden tour not well signed. Getting to the location not convenient from the train station. 15 -20 minute walk up hill to get to the garden property scheduled us for a 9 am tour however tours did not start till 10 am. Thei sbecame a problem because we bought train tickets in advance. Tour was an hour and we only had about 25 minutes to walk back to the train station for our return trip to Rome., which is a 40 minute train ride.

+2

Both viator and this operator were unresponsive to several communications from me. Zero response from operator with two inquiries from me. Viator said they would contact operator and get back to me. Zero follow up from viator with 3 communications from me to viator. Booked outing and immediately realized it was too far to travel. Neither would respond to refund request literally asked minutes after booking. Really poor customer service by both. I booked with viator rewards would have been easy for viator to refund rewards but both operator and viator unresponsive. I have used viator religiously so I am very disheartened with the lack of communication and follow up when they committed to speaking to operator and to following up with me.

A beautiful experience, if you are in Castel Gandolfo, Lake Albano you can not miss this guided audio mini bus tour to the gardens of the Pontifical Villa. Recommendation to everyone.

Beautiful experience we arrived early and given the high temperatures they were kind enough to let us up early. Then we were handed the 'audiojudge but the fantastic Fabrizio who was Guiding the minibus as a good Roman acted as a cicero telling us many anecdotes was very good. Beautiful experience

Fully satisfied, very nice environment and definitely to be redone, thanks for everything great price Excellent!

It was a beautiful visit. The gardens are breathtaking and being able to see them was a priceless experience. The tour is well organized with a nice and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
