I was hesitant to book a day trip when we only had a a few days in Rome but I am very glad that we did! Hadrian's Villa was fascinating and the gardens and fountains at Villa d'Este were beautiful. They arranged for lunch at a restaurant in Tivoli and it was quite good. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Next, you’ll proceed by coach or by a minivan to the nearby Villa d'Este where you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch in a typical local restaurant. Afterwards, you’ll take a walk through the romantic Villa d’Este.

This former Benedictine convent is one of the most fascinating villas of the late Renaissance period.

Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este: Complete Delight
Nicole did an amazing job in showing the highlights of both locations and enriching my understanding and appreciation with background information. I can't stress it enough. Anyone can go to the places and walk around, but it was the guide's context and knowledge that made the day the wonderful expereince it was. These places were built to be magical, transformative, and impressive; and she gave us a lense through which to view them that way. Book with Rome Your Way, and ask for Nicole. You will not be disappointed!
Great
The stairs were a great way to burn off the wonderful lunch. Our guide is funny and knowledgeable.
