Slip into the past as you glide across Lake Albano on a guided kayaking tour from Rome. Admire the stately villas perched on the hills as you paddle by, including the Pope's summer residence.

Then, stop at a secluded beach, accessible only by kayak, where you can take a refreshing swim if conditions allow. Enjoy the soothing sounds of wildlife and the gentle rhythm of the water, making for a truly unforgettable experience so close to Rome.

Climb aboard your kayak and head back into the lake. As you paddle, gaze at the summer residence of the Pope, perched atop the hills of Castel Gandolfo and surrounded by lush natural scenery. Finally, circle back to the starting point where you can freshen up with a shower before returning to the capital.
