A great change after a lot of culture and hustle in Rome - A fantastic experience on Lake Albania. Great weather and very nice guide
. In addition, the possibility to bathe (only for real water rats )

A memorable experience! - Beautiful tour on Lake Castel Gandolfo. The place itself is gorgeous and the size of the lake lends itself to beautiful kayaking excursions. We were accompanied on a tour that took us to appreciate closely parts of the lake's otherwise inaccessible nature. In addition, the competence, kindness and friendliness of our Guide, Alessandro, made the experience unique. Definitely recommended!

Amazing!! - Really good experience and my first time Kyaking. Alex the guide was really nice and friendly and even gave us a lift to the train station as the metro station drop off point was closed. The area was beautiful and the lake was stunning. Would highly reccomend to anyone. Sadly on this occasion the weather wasn't in our favour, it started off perfect however half way around the lake the heavens opened but it all added to the experience and was thoroughly enjoyable. If we come back to Rome it will be the first thing we book.

Great tour but sloppy organization - Organization to review, not enough seats counted on the bus which penalized one person of the group... once there, not the right number of double / single kayak, we had to wait about ten minutes while the others started the tour, and in the end we had to end up in single kayak despite the Reservation expressly made for a double...
The place itself is very beautiful, the tour was nice but much too short for our taste. We stayed on the water only 45 minutes...
Pros: friendly monitors, water supply and pizza distribution.
Major negative: organization to be reviewed

so and so - The lake and the scenery are very beautiful, the water is crystal clear so a kayak ride is worth it. However, the tour is recommended for those who have never been kayaking and do not feel like renting a kayak on their own to take a ride on the lake.
