Excellent tour from Civitavecchia to Tivoli - Having been to Rome several times we were looking for an alternative while on a cruise. Searching the web, we ran across Discovery Tours and their tour to Tivoli. What a great choice! Discovery Tours provide a delightful transport with great advice from our driver. Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este were far above what any review had prepared us for. The scope and amount of ruins at Hadrian’s was amazing...could have easily spent a full day here. Then, the Town of Tivoli was an experience free of the maddening crowds of tourists. Great lunch al fresco and then off to Villa d’Este. What an amazing place. Arriving, it appears to be a tenement building which elicited the thought “is this worth spending our time on?” Then stepping inside, the house is impressive , although, again, nothing to get too excited about. That is until you step out onto the terrace and see the absolutely stunning gardens and fountains. What a magical place. In summary, if you are looking for an alternative to another trip into Rome or looking for a day trip from Rome, go to Tivoli...and Discovery Tours is an excellent resource for getting there.
