We visited the Bracciano Castle with Andrea as a tour guide. He was excellent! He picked us up from Largo Della Pace and drove us first to a smaller castle. Important tip: try not to schedule the earliest possible tour (8am). He was surprised that MLI allowed us to do this, because nothing (including the smaller castle) is truly open until 10 and cafes aren’t really open for lunch until after noon. But he led us around the castle to get a great (and cooler) view of the sea in addition to a beach. We then made our way to Bracciano Castle, and he guided us right to the front desk where our tickets were all paid for. The castle tour is essentially self-guided…Andrea said to text him when we were finished. The castle itself was very impressive, but it was not easy to climb all of the stairs for older folks. This was still a very impressive sight. After the castle, he took my wife, my kids and I (grandparents stayed behind to rest) on a walking tour of the city, and led us to another nice outlook looking over Lake Bracciano. We then came back to a restaurant near the castle that served us a very laid-back three-course “light” Italian lunch that was excellent (and super-filling…don’t eat a lot of breakfast!). Lunch was fully included. After lunch, he drove us back to the cruise ship area, and we thanked him and parted ways. All together, this was about 7 hours. We would highly recommend this for an off-the-beaten-path excursion in the Rome area. And of course we would highly recommend Andrea…he was great, and my son really appreciated his great English. One final tip: you do NOT have to wear pants if it is super-hot. That was a mistake! But overall, a great experience.luisfK8898GZ

Tuve la oportunidad de visitar el Castillo junto con mi familia, improvisadamente y por recomendación de un amigo que vive en Roma. Una excelente experiencia, el lugar se encuentra en un excelente estado de conservación y mantenimiento, desde los objetos de la época exhibidos en el interior, hasta las hermosas vistas que hay desde sus muros y torres, todo fue espectacular.
