Great day in Tivoli - Amazing place to visit. Alexia was a great tour guide. Lots of time to see everything and have a nice lunch in town.

Pleasant trip away from the crowds of Rome - Very enjoyable trip. The guide, Joseph, was knowledgeable and funny. He made everyone comfortable and fully enjoy the tour. The lunch was alright. But the trip to Hadrian’s villa took an hour, without any guide or any information. The guide met us at the villa and left when we boarded the bus back. The weather was great and everyone had fun. Highly recommended.

Full day tour from Rome - Hadrian's villa and Villa D'Este could be two separate full day trips since there is so much too see in both sights, but in the limited time we had in our trip to Rome, it was worth the visit. Especially the villa d'Este. Giuseppe was an excellent guide (what you can expect from a person who has grow up in Tivoli).

Rich in History and Fun! - It was a pleasure seeing some of the most beautiful sights we've ever seen while learning so much from a true local of the area. Our tour guide, Giuseppe, was a delight. So much history while also giving us free time to explore the areas. Thank you for a great experience!

Delightful - The guide was informative and engaging and funny. We learned a lot of history about Hadrian’s Villa and Tivoli and the beautiful monastery with 1000 fountains and an organ that played on water power

Great experience and pace! - Great experience other than the water not running in the hundreds of fountains at Villa d’Este. This was not our tour guide’s fault, but irritating nonetheless.

Magnificent estates - The scope of both places we visited was simply amazing. The staff member was very knowledgeable but sometimes a little difficult to hear when she moved too quickly away from the group.

Not up to standard - The tour seemed rushed. The meal at a local restaurant was fair- skimpy portions and very rushed. It was great to have a local guide. Guiseppue was good. Tour lacked depth and details.

Good sites but not recommend the tour. - Both Hadrian villa and villa D'Este are great and very nice to see. But the driver was bad and rude, tour guide didn't do a good job , his presentation was simple, he didn't spend time well. The group waited outside of the villa gate for almost 2 hours for the lunch break, instead of inside the villa. We only have 1 and 1/2 hours at each site, make the visit very rush. The worth trip among what I had from viator.Not recommend!
