Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Villa d'Este, Piazza Trento 5, 00019, Tivoli Italy

First stop here is Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana), the former holiday home of Emperor Hadrian – built in the 2nd century AD. More akin to a small village than a home in today’s sense of the word, the ostentatious villa ruins are incredible to visit, with ruins of thermal baths, temples, palaces, and theaters just waiting to be explored. Head into the site with your guide, and learn about the emperor’s ancient travels – reportedly the inspiration for many of the monuments -- while walking around.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Villa Adriana, Largo Marguerite Yourcenar 1, 00019, Tivoli Italy

After your tour of Hadrian’s Villa, return to your coach and travel the short distance to Tivoli’s other showstopping villa – the magnificent Villa d’Este. Built in the heart of the Renaissance – around 1550 – for Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, Tivoli’s governor, Villa d’Este was a contentious building that upset the local residents as they had to move to make way for it. Walk around the site with your guide, taking in the gardens and posing for photos in front of Bernini-designed fountains while learning about the Cardinal and his lavish life in the villa.

This lovely place should have had a better tour guide. Our guide arrived late The group arrived there at 730-745am and our Guide got there at 7:55am and the Green line tours office never opened. The man from the Green line finally arrived at 8:20am to get us our bus.The most discouraging problem was our guide had to speak in 4 different languages and he didnt have a mastery of any language.The infohe gave was confusing and very basic

This was the best experience from the whole trip to Rome. Getting away from the busy streets of the city into the calmness of the Adrian Villa and the beautiful waterscape of the Vila d'Este was amazing.

Fabulous, fabulous and more fabulous. The tour was really well organised and the sights you see at both locations are breathtakingly different. Not to be missed Tour.

Well worth it, even in the light rain 🌧 The driver was great and the host was fantastic and funny. He single-handedly may have convinced me to drop everything and move there 🇮🇹 Learned alot about the site and enjoyed all of the little nuances and secrets it held. Lots of walking but if the 80+ host could do it, so can you 😉
