      We did this tour as a one-day trip from Rome, and it was totally worth it! The road trip is a bit long but still manageable and comfortable since it’s in a private vehicle. Plus, the place is truly stunning, and hearing the legend behind the Cracked Mountain was super engaging. We LOVED Gaeta and this tour!!!

      Thanks Bruno very much for the wonderful tour and pictures. We have been to Gaeta several times but did not know that much about history and hidden places as well. we hope to meet you in the future.
