Lake Bracciano offers several standout tours just an hour north of Rome. The medieval Odescalchi-Orsini Castle tours give excellent value, with guides who really know their stuff and take you through secret passageways and richly decorated rooms. I love the Etruscan history tours to nearby Tarquinia and Tuscania – they’re fascinating and far less crowded than similar sites closer to Rome.
