Highly recommended - Amazing experience and a great way to have a change of scenery from the sightseeing of central Rome.
Michael collected us at the meeting point, which was really easy to find.
Would highly recommend, especially if you're travelling with teenagers.

Between nature and culture - Very nice and stimulating experience, full of emotions and culture!
Together with Alex we went around the lake and came across many different animal species living in total harmony.
surely we will return with friends to make him live a relaxing moment and connection with nature.

Awesome!! - The guides were very professional and very proud of the area. They definitely knew what they were talking about and showed everyone how to actually kayak before getting in.

Top 10 relaxing moments of my life. - We had the most amazing, beautiful surreal, Calming and peaceful time on the lake. Alex was great, he was fun, friendly and knew so much about the area. We swam and relaxed on the beautiful beach after kayaking on the cool still clear lake. Amazing and I recommend to everyone!

Okay, but a little loveless - Organizationally everything was fine, transfer to and from the subway station worked out well, scheduling fit, briefing and kayaking tour was ok, snacks and drinks were also available.
Otherwise, the three guides were very quiet, everything was unwound automatically, no greeting of the group, no explanation of the course of the tour. On the water no explanations of the surroundings. The event was simply unwound. It's a pity you could have done a lot more with little effort.
