Great guide

Very interesting and wonderful guide. Lunch was a little disappointing.. not much more to add. Might have liked more information about Hadrian the man.
Canceled us the day before due to overbooking

Was messaged the day before that our reservation was canceled due to overbooking. They asked if we could come another day, I said no and please refund credit card. Suddenly, we could keep our booking, but messages were confusing and we were trying to figure out what to do. I said ok, but the group was upset and feeling unwelcome, so I later canceled. They finally wrote back later the next day, long after the tour started, to say I would not be refunded. A huge mess that they caused and could've been avoided if they had first ASKED if we could change our tour date instead of going straight to telling us our tour was canceled and then changing their minds when I wanted my money back. Incredibly unprofessional and I will be contacting my bank when I return home.
Be prepared to keep moving

We would never have done this trip under our own steam and so were delighted to share time with a rather large group. However, the guide was very informative and we covered a lot in a short time. Perhaps that was one of the downsides. There was a definite feeling of being rushed through both Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este. We would have like some additional free time to explore. Both are worth a visit. We were awestruck by both even though we have previously visited Pompeii and Forum. Bus was comfortable, visit to Tivoli for lunch good. Summing up, we we happy and tired at the end of the day. Warning: there is plenty of walking and steps to navigate. There is mobility support at Hadrian’s Villa and a lift at Villa D’este.
A great tour with a knowledgeable guide

Giuseppe was a lovely guide. We were lucky there weren't many people at Hadrian's Villa, so we got to appreciate that expansive area what felt like to ourselves. Giuseppe's magic book helped visualise how the Villa looked in the past.
Tivoli is a beautiful town and we had a wonderful lunch (not with the tour).
Villa d'Este is a beautiful mansion and the gardens and fountains are just outstanding. It was a great contrast to see how cool the gardens were compared to when we were at the Villa.
A great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this day trip.
