    Great guide
    Simone_C, Apr 2024
    Very interesting and wonderful guide. Lunch was a little disappointing.. not much more to add. Might have liked more information about Hadrian the man.
    Canceled us the day before due to overbooking
    mareplus3, Oct 2023
    Was messaged the day before that our reservation was canceled due to overbooking. They asked if we could come another day, I said no and please refund credit card. Suddenly, we could keep our booking, but messages were confusing and we were trying to figure out what to do. I said ok, but the group was upset and feeling unwelcome, so I later canceled. They finally wrote back later the next day, long after the tour started, to say I would not be refunded. A huge mess that they caused and could've been avoided if they had first ASKED if we could change our tour date instead of going straight to telling us our tour was canceled and then changing their minds when I wanted my money back. Incredibly unprofessional and I will be contacting my bank when I return home.
    Be prepared to keep moving

    We would never have done this trip under our own steam and so were delighted to share time with a rather large group. However, the guide was very informative and we covered a lot in a short time. Perhaps that was one of the downsides. There was a definite feeling of being rushed through both Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este. We would have like some additional free time to explore. Both are worth a visit. We were awestruck by both even though we have previously visited Pompeii and Forum. Bus was comfortable, visit to Tivoli for lunch good. Summing up, we we happy and tired at the end of the day. Warning: there is plenty of walking and steps to navigate. There is mobility support at Hadrian’s Villa and a lift at Villa D’este.
    A great tour with a knowledgeable guide

    Giuseppe was a lovely guide. We were lucky there weren't many people at Hadrian's Villa, so we got to appreciate that expansive area what felt like to ourselves. Giuseppe's magic book helped visualise how the Villa looked in the past. Tivoli is a beautiful town and we had a wonderful lunch (not with the tour). Villa d'Este is a beautiful mansion and the gardens and fountains are just outstanding. It was a great contrast to see how cool the gardens were compared to when we were at the Villa. A great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this day trip.
    Great day trip from Rome to Tivoli villas

    Worthwhile day trip to see Hadrian's Villa and the Villa d'Este. Guide was excellent and the villas well worth visiting.
    Perfect day tour

    Unfortunately fell ill the night before so was not able to make the tour.
    Our guide, Giuseppe, was wonderful...
    Karen D, Mar 2018
    Our guide, Giuseppe, was wonderful. He lives in Tivoli, as has his family for the last 500 years, so he was extremely knowledgeable about the area as well as the two places we visited, Hadrians Villa and Villa dEste. Although it was a long day 7 hours it went very quickly and I actually would have liked a little more time at the two places. Giuseppe also recommended a restaurant for lunch which was very good. One note, and this is indicated in the description, if you have mobility issues, believe them when they say there is a lot of walking and much of it is up and down. There were several people in the tour group who had a difficult time with the walking although they all made it through. I would highly recommend this tour when youre tired of the frenetic pace of Rome and want a day trip outside the city.
    Bien mais un peu rapide
    Nicolas_G, May 2023
    Belle excursion mais un peu rapide... Le temps de visite de la villa Adrien (~1h30) est un peu court...
