Absolutely stunning! - Truly unique places away from the hustle and bustle of Roma. Must see! You won't be disappointed! And it's only 30 minutes outside the city. Guide, as usual, was fantastic!!!

Convenient way to see Hadrian’s Villa - A convenient way to see Hadrian’s Villa from Rome. It was good to have a knowledgeable and friendly guide but it would have been nice to have just a little bit more time at Hadrian’s (there is so much to see!). The visit to Tivoli was nice - we would have not seen Villa D’Este if not for the tour. The fresco rooms of the villa were just stunning but unfortunately we were rushed through them to get out to see/hear the organ fountain. It would have made more sense to have less time for lunch in Tivoli and to have started the walk through of Villa D’Este earlier. Small group of 15 was good.

Beautiful Village Adriana and Village d’Este! - The tour lady is knowledgeable and the pace was good. Both Village Adriana and Village d’Este were great to visit. The only thing we didn’t enjoy too much was the lunch. The restaurant was old and the food quality was so so. On our way to the restaurant there were many beautiful curb side patio sitting restaurants. It would be nice to have lunch in one of those.

Lovely day at Tivoli - There is a lot of walking and some stairs and hills to climb. May not be good for those that have mobility issues Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable but sometimes hard to understand
