Mind blowing! - Amazing to to see UNESCO sites with a local guide. Hear the story of early Roman palaces and discover the link between the old and the new. Well worth the time.

Amazing tour - Beautiful villas - both Villa Adriana (Hadrian's) and Villa d'Este, huge. Adriana is much older from the 1st century, while Villa d'Este is from the 1500s. Both require alot of walking and Villa d'Este gardens have many levels of staircases, fountains, and greenery. Also lovely Town of Tivoli.
