Wine tasting and olive oil sampling. Day trips from Rome by private car with English speaking driver guide. Tuscany isn't the only beautiful country in Italy and neither it is the only place where they make good wine. If you are in Rome and want to see some beautiful countryside, you don't need to spend your day driving on the motorway to get to Tuscany and back, a few miles from Rome you can visit some amazing sites and taste great wines and foods. Spend your time sightseeing, sampling local wines and other products instead of spending your day driving on the motorway. However, we're ready to take you on day trips to Tuscany, Florence, Chianti, Pompeii, Positano, Amalfi, Assisi, Orvieto, Umbria or anywhere else you like.
Half day tours in Rome’s countryside by private car with English speaking driver guide. Private tours by car for small groups.
You can choose to start at 9 or 9:30 am and we come to meet you at your hotel in Rome. We reach Tivoli by driving on the motorway and the trip takes about 45 minutes. Once there your driver/guide will park his car and stroll with you through Tivoli’s quaint medieval streets to reach Villa D’Este. If a driver/guide that has the ability to guide you through the Villa D’Este will not be available the day of your tour, you will have a driver and a guide, two different persons. When, in 1549, the Cardinal Ippolito II D’Este (son of the famous Lucrezia Borgia) was appointed governor of Tivoli, he wasn’t happy with the old governor’s residence which had been originally a Benedictine convent. However, the place had a spectacular view and an abundant natural water supply for fountains and gardens, so the convent was taken down and the construction of his villa began in 1560. This beautiful building is now world known for its astounding gardens, decorated by hundreds of artistic water fountains, frescoes and statues. Also to be mentioned in Tivoli are the Rocca Pia castle dating back to the 15th century, which you’ll be seeing from the outside and will be able to take pictures, and Hadrian’s Villa which is located at the foot of the hill. Willingly, this tour can be extended to 6 hours and include the visit to the nearby Hadrian’s Villa.
We meet at your hotel in Rome around 9/9:30 am and drive to the hills south-east of Rome. They call this area the Roman Castles since these towns originated from the castles the Roman nobles built on the most suitable hill in their property. Over the years the people built their homes outside the castles so to be protected by it and finally they built walls around the city for more protection.

An unforgettable day in the country visiting two of the most interesting sites in Italy, each unique in its kind! A full day tour to one of the most impressive ancient monasteries in Italy, the “Sacro Speco” founded by St. Benedict of Norcia, combined with a great lunch and the visit of Villa D’Este and outstanding Villa built for the Cardinal Ippolito II in the 16th century and its famous park decorated with many spectacular fountains. We will meet you at your hotel and get on the motorway to drive to Subiaco. We will reach the place in about one hour. Subiaco is famous for being the location of two important monasteries: St. Benedict’s, called “Sacro Speco” and St. Scolastica, but also for having been the birth place of two of the most famous Italian women: Lucrezia Borgia and Gina Lollobrigida!
We’ll meet you at your hotel in the morning and drive to Ostia, via Italy’s oldest motorway, the “Via Del Mare” in about half an hour. Ostia Antica “Ancient Ostia” was originally founded by the Romans to protect their city from any potential sea borne invader but later became Rome’s most important sea port, the landing for all cargo ships that supplied Rome with all its necessities.

Long range day trips from Rome to other major attractions in Italy.
Private tours by car with driving guide for small groups.
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, the home of Michelangelo, the city of art, Italian literature, science… Surely Florence would deserve more than just a day trip from Rome, but if you’re in Rome and you have one day, let’s do it! We meet you in the morning and drive to Florence (Firenze in Italian) via the motorway A1. The trip takes less than 3 hours and the scenery along the motorway is absolutely beautiful. We drive through north Lazio, Umbria and finally Tuscany. This is some of the most spectacular countryside in the world and you’ll not just see it through the car’s windows, but the most interesting facts about the areas we’ll pass through will be commented and the most interesting towns will be pointed out to you.
You can choose to travel to Florence by train for a lower price, but not much lower for groups from 4 up, but please consider the following:
• The train takes 1.5 hours but considering the time needed to transfer to the train station and the fact that you need to be there 15 min. before train’s departure the trip will take the same time the car takes: 2.5/3 hours.
• As you’re travelling in a train there’s no one there to tell you anything about what you’re seeing and you only see the scenery from one side of the train.
• Once in Florence you’ll have to find your way to the places and this will take time and the consequence will be that you’ll not be able to see half of what we can show you.
You’ll be met at your hotel in the morning and driven to Assisi via the A1 motorway and the Via Flaminia passing through north Lazio and Umbria. The drive will offer beautiful panoramas which will change from the rolling hills of the Tuscia region to the mountains of Umbria covered with woods, because of which Umbria is also referred to as the “green heart of Italy”.
Again we have to say that the tours and excursions we list on this website are nothing but suggestions, we want to give you an idea of what you can see in a half day or a full day and, in this particular case, you are free to change the itinerary and spend the whole day in Assisi or omit Assisi and visit other places, for example Civita di Bagnoregio or simply spend more time in Orvieto and Todi and visit a winery and/or an oil press.
You’ll be met at your hotel in the morning and taken on a great tour that will cover the most beautiful coastline of Italy and its most famous excavation site. We’ll drive on the A1 motorway through southern Lazio to reach Campania and Naples. We skirt Naples and continue to on the A3 motorway which will then get us onto the Sorrento Peninsula. The drive offers unforgettable panoramas. Driving along the winding coastal road, on top spectacular overhanging cliffs, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples we’ll be able to see from far the isle of Capri, the city of Naples and the mount Vesuvius. We’ll then drive over the hills to our first stop: Positano.
Driving guides aren’t allowed to guide their clients through the ruins and we recommend you hire a local guide to get the most out of your visit. The cost for hiring a local guide is about 150 Euros, for a group up to 6 people, for a satisfactory 2-hour tour. The alternative is renting an audio guide, a sort of portable mp3 player that you take with you and activate once the spot marked on the map they give you and tells the story of what you see from that particular spot. After visiting Pompeii we return to Rome to arrive there in the early evening.
