    Full description
    Discover the glorious villas of Tivoli that date back to the times of the Romans and the Renaissance on a half-day tour from Rome. Following an optional pickup from your hotel in the capital, transfer by comfortable transport to the little town of Tivoli just a few kilometers from the city center. Discover a splendid natural environment between the “Eternal City” and the high hills to the east of Rome. Stop at the remarkable architectural complex of the Villa Adriana, built in the 2nd century AD by the Emperor Hadrian. Marvel at its different architectural styles, with influences from Egypt, Rome, and Athens. Learn how it was designed as an "ideal city," and explore some of the symbols of ancient times. Then, go to the Renaissance-style Villa d’Este and explore its palatial setting, surrounded by a spectacular terraced garden. Enjoy the beauty of its cascades, water tanks, and fountains. Admire a masterpiece of Italian landscape gardening, and its numerous nymphs, grottoes and fountains that were inspired by the Gardens of Babylon.

    Comfortable transport. Loved the description of Hadrian’s dining room ❤️ Guide was informative. We went through Villa D’este and then we free to roam the Tivoli gardens at our leisure. Perfect. One suggestion, bring a better set of headphones. The single earpiece provided was not adequate. I had my volume up all the way and could hardly hear the guide, and I know I missed some of what he was saying because of it.

    The tour to Tivoli with Fabio from the organizer Gray Lines was very well organized, on the day before we were contacted via WhatsApp with current information on the meeting point, start time and Covid-19 measures. As only 2 German-speaking participants in an otherwise English/French-speaking group, we were looked after intensively and received a lot of information about the history and layout of the two villas Adriana and d'Este we visited.

    The trip was great. Our guide Fabio informed us very nicely and comprehensively about everything. He spoke perfect German and French. The ride in the minibus was very good, you can only save yourself the hotel pick-up, since we were picked up 45 minutes beforehand and then had to wait over 30 minutes at the meeting point. The two villas are well worth seeing, and our guide Fabio informed us very well with his extensive knowledge and accompanied us very nicely throughout the day.
