We took two tours arranged by a local tour office. The city tour was ok but the food tour was terrible. We were expecting a minibus for the city tour but instead were crammed into a three-door Fiat 500, about the size of a sardine can. Terrible for old people with mobility problems and anyone tall. The food tour was simply terrible. We did nothing that was described in the brochure. We were supposed to visit a winery and farm, it didn't happen. We paid extra for this tour and the next day I complained and was refunded half of what I paid. I do not recommend this tour at all. The Rome food tour is awesome and felt like you got value for money but not this tour. The tour guide (same for both tours) was too cocky for me. He had studied in the US for a year and felt like he knew anything and everything. He just did not impress me, in fact, I was turned off by his attitude.

The weather was super in September. Must be very hot in July / August. It was very quiet in the town. Walk to the beach then turn immediately to your right and walk up the hill with the coast on your left. This takes you towards a small bay to overlook. It’s just beautiful. You can descend to the cove, very picturesque.

Gaeta is a very special place, full of fantastic historical landmarks, art and beautiful scenery and beaches. The local people are really nice and the food is outstanding. It's a great place to spend your free time if you want to relax and to have an authentic Italian holiday.

The only drawback to Gaeta was the large number of tourists. I realize that this particular time of the year is the busiest, but it did not take away form the natural charm of a beautiful little city.

Gorgeous views and beautiful beaches. Although mostly IItalians vacation here, I was able to find several people able to speak English. This wasn't an issue for us though as my husband is fluent in Italian and having the ability to communicate with the locals (we made several friends!) definetly made our stay more frutiful and enjoyable. The town was easy to navigate on foot, but figuring out bus schedules and stops was more challenging. We will definetly return in the Fall when it's less crowded.

Very nice, charming place to spend your holidays! Nice restaurants en small bars to drink your espresso and slowly start your day. We rented a boat and visited the most lovely beaches around Gaeta. Rome, Napels, Pompei and the Vesuvius can easily be visited from Gaeta.
