  Excellent tour! Guide very knowledgeable! We thoroughly enjoyed walking around Hadrian’s Villa and learning about the village. Great restaurant in Tivoli. Rounded off the trip with the Villa de’ Este which was beautiful! Highly recommend this tour.

• Skip the lunch!

  The two villas are absolutely amazing, especially Villa D’Este! The bus ride was a short 30 minutes and it beats riding the train out to Tivoli! My only complaint was the lunch that was provided. It was not very good. First off, one options for the first course was spaghetti and meatballs, but they held back the meatballs because there was no Mozzerella to make one of the choices in the second course! So they gave you the meatballs as the second course, even though it should have been included in the first course! Then they were served chilled on top of that. Skip the included lunch and stop at one of the many cafe’s in town and you will be much happier!

• Transportation Hassles but a Decent Tour

  The ruins are wonderful. The driver was rude and would not respond…even when we said good morning. They switched the bus on us after the first stop to a smaller van. The van was horrible and barely had AC, curtains did not work or were missing so we could not block the sun. The driver had plenty of AC blowing on him. We were told we could leave our things on the bus and they would be fine. When they switched they did not switch our belongings, so a few had to make the case for them to go get our belongings. They shared they would change buses again before heading back to Rome but it was the same van. Hot and miserable on the way back to Rome. The guide was nice but spent too much time at each stop on the tour…at times the explanations were 15 minutes or longer. Too longer for standing and when standing in the hot sun. We spent 45 minutes in empty rooms getting and explanation of the room, history, and upcoming renovations. We then seemed to rush through all of the wonderful fountains, which was the highlight of the tour. It would have been nice to have had free time to explore the fountains on our own.

  I had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience fun and engaging. We got to see all the highlights, but what made it truly special were the personal touches—local insights, hidden gems, and plenty of opportunities for great photos. The pace was perfect—not rushed, but we also covered a lot. Transportation was comfortable, and everything ran on time. I appreciated how the guide took care of the group and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. This tour exceeded my expectations and gave me a deeper appreciation for the area. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting. Worth every penny!

  Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este are both beautiful. The fountains at Villa d'Este are spectacular and the gardens are well maintained. The ruins at Villa Adriana remind me of Ephesus. Lunch was included in the tour, it was okay although the serving size for the main course could be bigger.
