Reviews for Tivoli: Villa Adriana And Villa D’este Half Day Small Group Tour
Worthy to visit!
Portia_N
Both are pretty but Villa D’Este is super beautiful! Our tour guide Mohamed is very pleasant and friendly! We had a private car with driver and tour guide for two of us! So our time at each attraction was very flexible!
Fabio was incredibly...

Fabio was incredibly knowledgeable and a great guide.
He endured rain and cold with us to provide a fantastic tour.
We would highly recommend this tour and Fabio as a guide.

Great Archaeology tour

I neglected to indicate a meeting point for pick-up to begin our tour, and the tour guide and driver came straight to our AirBnB that morning after we communicated via WhatsApp. Massimo, our driver, was pleasant (didn't seem to know English enough to try communicating) and Fabio, the tour guide, was a young and patient archaeologist. Italy is known for its expertise in archaeology, therefore is probably inundated with so many, with lack of funds to dig up and maintain sites, that people like Fabio must earn a living in a different way. Voilá, we had an expert tour guide!!
He took care of the drive, answered all questions thoroughly, and at the sites of Villa Hadriana and Villa d'Este, pointed out unique and specific features. He shared previously held understanding of different parts of Hadrian's grounds, and the current understanding. We learned a lot about archaeology itself, as well as about the sites.
We were a group of four upper-sixties adults, and he paced the treks according to our physical level. Accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable. I have been to these sites now three times, and Fabio's explanations focused on almost entirely different points than our previous tours. I do enjoy history, but mixed with the archaeology it was even better.
An Intimate Excursion To Hadrian’s Villa & Villa D’Este

I’m writing this review after getting back home from a three week trip so must apologize for not remembering our guide’s name, or the driver, but they made this an incredible tour. This was our first day in Rome. It ended up being just 4 of us; my husband and I along with a mother and her daughter so it was quite a lovely little group which was exactly what we wanted. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough! It was a wonderful experience.
good experience

Very glad we did this tour. Picked up at hotel on time. Met enthusiastic guide (Don) at Hadrian's villa and had a very nice time. Later moved to Villa D'este by auto and again enjoyed the visit. To me, the tour of Hadrian's villa was one of the standout activities of our trip to Rome. Strongly recommend this one.
