“Sites and guide were amazing. I was not impressed with lack of communication at the pick up point in Rome. We were all standing around not knowing what was happening. Lady turned up showing us paper and asking if we could see our names. Then just left us standing having to figure out for ourselves that we were getting on the bus. Driver did not say a word to the passengers the whole trip to Tivoli. I think it would have been nice to be greeted and explained to that the bus would meet our guide in Tivoli instead of the confusion created by no communication at all. Guide was…”

“Enjoyed the tour very much! Our guide, Alizia, was very pleasant and informative, and looked out carefully for all involved. Hadrian's Villa was totally impressive archaeologically. Villa d'este is stunningly beautiful though demanding to manage the many stairs and slopes, especially on a hot day. Our driver, Mario, was also pleasant and drove in a comfortable and safe manner. We never felt hurried and did feel we received good value for the tour. Information was clear to find the meeting point.”

Couldn’t book time on line for Villa d’Este so visited it 1 hour before closing and was advised then. We went in saw the villa, then paid entrance again the next day to see the gardens.”

Would have been nice to have had a cafe where you could sit down with some food and a drink, whilst admiring the surroundings, rather than just having vending machines in a bland corner of a room. Still a great experience.”

6.Tivoli: Villa Gregoriana Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 150 reviews · 2 hours · from $11Best value

Walk Tivoli’s Villa Gregoriana Park, shaped by 19th-century Pope Gregory XVI, with the 120-meter Great Waterfall, ruins, and Neptune grottoes.

“The nature is amazing even though it is mid December. As nature and hiking lovers, we enjoyed the trail and all its uphills and downhills. There were some incredible viewpoints that made us think about the history of that place. That wise, we got many answers while watching the film at the end of the tour, which I think is priceless for people who like learning new facts. The only aspect that could be improved is the map visitors r given at the entrance, as it is not very precise and quite often u will need to make your own choices which turn to take on the way. In general,…”
