Excellent tour, Marsha was a terrific guide. Was wonderful to escape the crowds of Rome for the day. We left by bus at 9:30 and returned at 4:30. First stop was Hadrians which was very interesting , then free time (didn’t take the lunch option), afternoon was spent at Villa D’Este, the villa is nice but the garden and fountains were amazing. 40 minutes later we were back in Rome. Highly recommend A++++

What a wonderful experience that we never knew existed. The remains are in remarkable condition. Lunch was a plate of past.

Too much information/walking for one day. Villa Adriana on day 1 and Villa d’Este on day 2 better. Very disappointing that fountains not working.

Tour guide was good. Sights definitely worth seeing. However, we booked a month ahead of time and were given the option to cancel within 24 hours of the tour. As soon as that 24 hour window began we got a message from the tour company that the fountains were down for maintenance and had been down since the 6th of October. Our tour was the 22nd. Seemed very dishonest. Also we paid for the lunch. Don’t waste your money. Worst meal we’ve had in Italy.

Unfortunately I could not participate in the trip because, less than 24 hours as required by the conditions, I had to cancel it because my son on the afternoon of the 17th was at the p.s. for a bad fall and was discharged on the 18th. Despite the documentation produced and my request for a partial refund or a voucher for another trip, the company did not meet me even for the emergency occurred. In my opinion they should review the conditions at least in these cases perhaps with a lower percentage of 100 % as a penalty

Marcia was a very informative and kind guide. We chose the lunch option and the meal included red wine, salad, pasta and a meat dish. As a vegetarian, they were very accommodating to dietary needs. We were given times to meet up and she worked very hard to stay on schedule (some adults in the group made that a little challenging 🫠).

This is a classic trip to a 2000 year-old emperor’s summer house. Then we had a visit to some classic gardens at another estate. Both are UNESCO world heritage sites.

Lots of walking at a fairly quick pace as the guide fit lots of information in the tour. Don’t recommend the lunch as a solo traveler as they made me pay for 2. Gave me no other option

It was a relatively small group.. the guide was excellent and very well organized. If you book an Viator note that the meeting point address on the voucher is incorrect. You must specify in the directions the word Metro Stop. Otherwise it will take you to the city center and no the metro stop. And they are not close.
