Incredible, wonderful, highly recommended - This tour has been the highlight of our trip so far. We were picked up from our hotel, and we were transported in luxury to both Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este. Monica is a wonderful tour guide, and her detailed descriptions really helped us to imagine what it was like to live in that time. I feel like you also learn much more with a private tour guide, as it’s more like a conversation and you are able to ask all your questions. She very kindly took a lot of lovely pictures of my wife and I. We are so very appreciative or the care and consideration that was put into this tour. I highly recommend this tour with no reservations whatsoever.

Amazing and beautiful! - Our guide was exceptional, providing lots of information on not only what we were looking at but answering unrelated questions about Roman history, art, etc. It was a perfect day, so the views and the gardens were gorgeous! The service and courtesy were also very good. Generally an outstanding morning!

Highly informative and satisfying visit. - We had both a driver and guide. Both were excellent. The guide was deep in knowledge about the sites. Both were very accommodating to the limitations of some of our family members.

Fantastic Tour - It was fantastic. The small size made it a personal experience. Catherine was amazing. She knew everything and could put it into context. She went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience.

WONDERFUL DAY IN TIVOLI - My trip to Hadriano's Estate and Tivoli Gardens was the BEST part of my trip TO ROME!! Fabrizio IS THE BEST! It's not every day that you get an Archiology major as a tour guide! HE WAS HUMBLE YET Very Knowledgeable, and personable. A real Treat! GREAT DAY IN THE COUNTRY

Fun experience outside of Rome - Villa d’este is gorgeous. The fountains are amazing. Imagining what Hadrian’s Villa had been was fun.

Worthy to visit! - 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!

5-star but disorganized tour booked in Italian I found myself on a tour in English - I booked a semi-private tour in Italian, also confirmed by Viator customer service, but at the time of the meeting I found myself in front of an American couple who spoke English and the guide who informed me that the tour would be conducted in English. The situation was quite embarrassing for both me and the driver. Despite the difficulties, with the help of the translator and the guide who alternated English and Italian to ensure that I could follow. Apart from this significant problem, considering also the price paid, the guide was fantastic and did everything to make us participate. The driver was also great; finding the van with the air conditioning on after waiting outside in 35 degrees was a real relief. In general, I award the tour four stars. If I only had to rate the organization, I'd probably only give it one star. I hope this feedback will help improve the experience for future customers."
