Guide was relatively knowledgeable, though very causal. Bus trip was about 45 min and was fine. Hadrian's Villa was the first stop. We bypassed the ticket kiosk and the orientation maps, which would have been helpful. I picked one up at the end. The Villa is expansive and we walked all around. All of the important sites - the Maritime Theater and the Canopus were spectacular. The ancient ruins reminded me of our tours at Mesa Verde in southern Colorado. Second stop was lunch in Tivoli. The restaurant was a local place. Food was fine and there was plenty of it. We filled up on the first course before the pasta came. Good thing we had walked a lot! The third stop was the Villa D'Este. The villa itself is a wonderful example of the architecture of the time. The real star is the gardens. We spent plenty of time there and could have happily stayed longer. Ride back to Rome was uneventful. Arrived a little later than anticipated, but worth the time.

Giuseppe was WONDERFUL! He was so kind and funny, and gave great insight into the lives of the historical figures whose shoes we were walking in. I had been to Hadrian’s Villa and really appreciated a refresher on the emperor’s home away from Rome. Seeing Villa d’Este was stunning, and lunch at the Trattoria di Gabriella in Tivoli was so fun and delicious. I wouldn’t do this trip on a rainy day - it’s a long day with LOTS of walking and up/down. I would not recommend for people with any mobility limitations, it wouldn’t be worth it. Wear comfy shoes and be ready for weather. A truly wonderful way to spend a day outside of Rome.

It was great to spend a day outside of Rome. Both Hadrian’s villa and villa d’este were fun to visit. Glad we had a guide to explain the history of the locations. We really enjoyed the lunch as well.

Nice break from the city. Was about a 40 minute ride. When to two sites with lunch in between. The Villa d’este was our favorite and a great way to end the tour. Walk the entire garden or you’ll miss so much beauty. Waterfalls, beautiful trees, etc. Lunch was very good, family style and plenty to go around. Wear good shoes, lots of walking and steps. Some of the older or out of shape people had a hard time keeping up in a few spots.

To me, this is one of the hidden secrets of a trip to Rome. The ruins of Hadrian’s villa are spectacular and parts of it are extremely well preserved. The Villa d’Este is nothing short of beautiful. The gardens are spectacular and the views are wonderful. All in all this is in my estimation a must see on any vacation to Rome.
