Tired of the standard holidays that make you miss the real Italy? My tour will show you the authentic side of the Lazio region, the best-kept secrets hiding around Rome. An enriching experience rather than just a tour.
One of the things that makes me think twice before booking a packaged tour is the fear of spending money and yet not being able to see and experience the genuine spirit of the country I’m visiting. The very vibe that makes a trip memorable.
My Discover Lazio tour is not for everyone. In a week, I will show you the most authentic side of the region around Rome, its crafts, dishes, architecture and stunning villas. All things that most travelers miss.
A tour that no one else has designed.
That’s right. Despite so many important monuments, stunning palaces, and charming medieval views, there are no multi-day tours to explore the Lazio region.
Thanks to this tour, you will:
- Taste authentic dishes and recipes
- Try delicious local wine
- Discover the fascinating (pre-Roman!) Etruscan civilization
- Explore hidden facts linked to Roman history
- Visit dream-like noble villas
- Make your first ceramic work
- Enjoy a delicious aperitif at sunset in a vineyard
- Learn how to make fresh pasta
- Step back in the Middle Ages
In this tour, you will discover Rome beyond Rome, from before its mythical foundation to the Renaissance through the difficult medieval times. This won’t mean to lose sight of Rome’s prominence and authority, but to delve deeper into its most intimate soul through forgotten moments of history, mysterious woods and magical villas.

You would object:
But what if I don’t want to miss Rome?
You don’t have to! My Discover Lazio Tour starts and ends in Rome, giving you the perfect opportunity to explore the city before or after the trip. Think of this tour as a way to deepen your Rome experience. These aren’t random excursions. They tie directly into Roman history and culture.
I’m here for culture, not just scenery. Will I find that?
Absolutely! In this tour, Rome puts aside its centrality only for a week but we are going to explore towns and villages that have been pivotal to Rome’s destiny and history.
I don’t want to spend more time on a bus than exploring.
I get it. That’s why I have curated short, comfortable trips—no more than 1–1.5 hours away. You’ll travel in smaller groups, avoid long hauls, and spend more time experiencing, not commuting.
But wait, there’s more.
- You won’t be dragged by never-ending crowds
- You can take your time to enjoy the Italian dolce vita
- You will discover secret places and important landmarks
- You will enjoy an experiential journey rather than passive sightseeing
