Our private chauffeurs will be pleased to accompany you on this engaging tour through ancient and medieval history. Departure from Fiumicino Airport, Ciampino, the port of Civitavecchia or your hotel. The transfer from Rome to Palestrina takes approximately one hour; a stop at a bar for coffee is possible.
