Gaeta Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Amazing experience, the views were incredible! The service from both the organisers and the tour guide were great - we had a last minute change in boat time and they were very accommodating.We will definitely be back at some point! Would definitely recommend 😄

Superb and beautiful boat trip of 4 hours along the very nice coast between Gaeta and Sperlonga. We stopped several times to swim in the sea, which was very nice and amusing. Also very good explanation of the very friendly staf! I would recommend this to everybody. You do not get to see the coast so good if you travel by car.

A wonderful experience. The service was perfect with snacks and drinks provided throughout. The guide was so kind and very helpful. The views were beautiful, and there were three stops to swim in the clear blue water.

Everything perfect, beautiful trip, very well-equipped

We really liked everything. We admired the professionality and beer on the board

Excellent everything, guys are friendly and good at explaining things.

The two-hour boat ride was really pleasant, with a stop for a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Gaeta. Friendly and helpful staff, precise check-in and punctual departure. Organized and professional service, also considering the large turnout during this period. Recommended!

Fantastic experience discovering the coast of Gaeta, accompanied by Simone who, with competence and professionalism, showed us the wonders of the place.

Having a life long interest in the Italian campaign in WW2, and having visited Cassino and the monastery 15 years ago, with a commercial bus tour company. I decided this year to go back to Cassino and get a more hands on personal experience. I was very fortunate in choosing Pino for the excursion up the Cavendish Road and round to the monastery, with a little stop off at the new Albaneta brewery, where a few of the lovely local beers were consumed lol.Pino was a wonderful tour guide, very informative and extremely passionate about the history of the battle. His hotel is also worth a visit as it has many artifacts and memorabilia of the wartime period on display.

Thank you Anna for such a personal tour and making an important part of our family history so memorable. We will always be very grateful. Anyone looking for a professional patient and compassionate guide who’s extremely knowledgeable regarding Monte Cassino then Anna is highly recommend. Our trip to Italy included Rome Capri and the Bay of Naples but the absolute highlight was visiting Monte Cassino. Thank you Anna Mark & Karen x

The trip was a pleasure from start to finish. Captain Paulo was a great host. He explained landmarks along the way and gladly assisted anyone who needed it. The boat was in excellent condition, and the tomato pie hit the spot. Swimming in the Blue lagoon was an unforgettable moment. The kids appreciated the multiple opportunities to swim.

A special boat outing with friends that made my birthday even more exciting. So much kindness and warmth in accompanying us to the boat, a cautious, attentive, and very kind skipper. Sensational landscape at sunset, in good company. Perfect experience, absolutely to be repeated.

Fantastic hiking up Cavendish Road! Pino was our guide and so incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the WWII historical significance and events taking place there. He brought the story to life with pictures and stories that really made the trip amazing. We ended at the Abby Montecassino which was a true sight to behold. This is a don’t miss opportunity for a day trip experience.Plan for a true outdoor hike, lots of uphill for the post Rome bread exercise!

I did Anna's tour on 6 June 2026. Her knowledge of the battle is very impressive indeed. She even knew the whereabouts of my father's unit (4 Bn Parachute Regiment) and the contribution they made. That really impressed me. There is of course a great deal of tragedy surrounding this battle and this is reflected in the Commonwealth cemetery (and no doubt the American, Polish and German ones which we did not visit). The visit to the abbey was the highlight for me. It has been re-built beautifully, but what struck me most was the commanding view of the valley and town of Cassino. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anybody interested in Monte Cassino and form whatever point of view.

The history talk with Pino is exceptional. His knowledge of the battle of Monte Cassino comes from not just years of research but also years of interacting with first, veterans of the campaign and now their family members. The Hotel La Pace is more like a museum with artifacts, letters and pictures lining the walls. Pino gives insight and background to bring the pieces together of what can be a very confusing time in WW II history. If you’re planning on visiting the Abbey don’t miss this first - wine is nice also!

Pino is not just an excellent host but also an extremely knowledgeable storyteller/historian. Thru pictures, videos and his descriptions, the Battle for Monte Cassino became clear and understandable. Nice Gustav Wine and snacks made for a perfect ending to his fascinating presentation. If you are planning a visit to the Abbey don’t miss this opportunity to know all about it before you go. Truly excellent.
