Great Day with a Unique Experience
This was a great day. As a private tour, we were able to shape it around our interests. So, we skipped the Rome touristy stuff and headed out to the hills in a vintage VW Bug convertible. The scenery was beautiful and we loved the little town of Nemi (it was strawberry season and we really enjoyed the tarts with little, tiny strawberries). We loved looking over Lake Nemi where Caligula's ships once floated. We liked Castel Gandolfo less, though we did get to see where the pope was staying for the summer. Do not buy wine or liquor at the Pinocchio restaurant. We bought some for gifts and the man opened them all up, poured stuff in and then wrapped them in saran wrap. It was expensive and we had to just throw it all away as it was so tacky. Part of what you get on this tour is lunch. You go to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the lake. It was lovely. And you can order whatever you want. But...we really preferred the porchetta sandwich from the side of the road. If I were to make a suggestion to the vendor, it would be to give people a choice between the fancy restaurant and the local cuisine. This part of Italy is known for traditional restaurants where people used to bring their own picnic and eat and drink and it is know for porchetta sandwiches. We would have liked a more traditional experience. But the restaurant was lovely. We might also have liked to be able to go down to the lakes and not just look from above, but to be honest it would have been tough for the vintage car to get back up those hills. Nonetheless, we loved our guide, we loved our experience, and we would 100% do this again. It truly was a unique and very enjoyable experience. And it was great to get out of crowded Rome and into the fresh air. Such a nice time.

Perfect!!
Amazing experience with Riccardo, we saw the beautiful country side, had an amazing lunch and rode in a fun classic sports car. We also learned about Rome while driving and stopping at many beautiful sites. Riccardo was very informative and professional. My husband and I loved this experience!! Thanks for a great day!

Roman Holidays are waiting for you inside a a Green Vintage Cabriolet!
We had a really wonderful time with Pietro! He was so accommodating and engaging with my 82 year old Aunt and her many questions. We were both very impressed with his knowledge and expert driving through the narrow streets. It was so much fun sitting in the car and seeing other people‘s reactions as we drove by discovering Italian history at our fingertips. They made some accommodations to best suit my Aunt and our itinerary and off we went! I’m so glad my friends referred me to this excursion Company. It would be best for the adventurous, romantic couples, friends or party’s of 2 or even singles would want sit in style. Don’t forget Vintage Cars Are Small Though! If you get the opportunity do not miss the chance to join any one of the tours provided you just can’t go wrong! I’ve tagged Rome On The Road in my Instagram reel in case you’re interested Bellissimo 🙏🇮🇹😊

A fun, novel way to see the Italian countryside while still near Rome
My husband and I had a delightful trip in a 1958 Triumph 3. Pietro was an excellent tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed learning interesting stories about the places we stopped. The weather was perfect, the scenery stunning, the stories were informative and entertaining and the food at the restaurant we ate at was delicious! The train ride home was easy and quick. This tour is the antidote to all the crowds at the Vatican and Colosseum.

Cruising the Castle Hills of Rome
This was a fantastic and very fun trip up into the hills surrounding Rome. My driver/guide, Pietro, was a fantastic guide and his driving skills in the little Siata Spring were amazing. It was nice to see the countryside. Our lunch stop at Castel Gandolofo was lovely and we had a walk around the piazza which was a treat for me (I am mobility disabled). You finish with a train trip back to Rome. I recommend this very much for solo travelers as a great way to see the countryside around Rome without having to rent a car on your own.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included cost?
+
Prices start at $354 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day-trip from Rome to Roman Hills with lunch / picnic included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
