Tivoli Full Day Trip from Rome: Hadrian’s Villa and Villa D’Este

1.Tivoli Full Day Trip from Rome: Hadrian’s Villa and Villa D’Este

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,730 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Ride an air-conditioned coach from Rome to Tivoli for guided visits to Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este. Explore imperial ruins, the Canopus pool, Renaissance gardens, and the Fountain of Neptune, with time for lunch in town. The English-language tour lasts about six hours and includes a guide, transport, and headsets.

“Very knowledgeable guide and interesting tour, but I could unfortunately only understand about 75% of what she said. The lunch was not good at all, and unfortunately the time we were given to explore Tivoli was useless given every shop closed for a number of hours midday, so we just sort of waited around.”

“Excellent...but we were worn out! So much to see and learn about. I think there were extra tourists/pilgrims as we are at the end of a Catholic Jubilee year. Much more crowded than I expected we went mid/late October. I would recommend a little reading/research ahead of time - wish we'd done so. Viator partnered with City Wonders formerly Dark Rome - every single tour guide we had was amazing and knowledgeable.”

“It was a packed, but very well planned day. Logistics were impeccable. For someone new to Italy and based in Rome, and not wanting to figure out planning and travel logistics, this tour was perfect. Talk about maximizing time…yes, a lot of time on the road, but still pleasant to relax and not have to figure out how to get where. Got to see Pisa and Florence and enjoy a pleasant lunch in Florence. The tour of Florence was fantastic. If I come back in the future, I’ll probably take the hi-speed train to Florence, but the 2-hr tour of the accademia and key sights and history that Eduardo gave…”

We had a great guide in Pompeii, who was very knowledgeable. Our lunch in Positano was amazingly delicious and the view of the sandy beach and ocean was spectacular.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 419 reviews · 1 day · from $22Best value

Rent a mountain bike or e-bike for a self-guided day on the Appian Way, starting at Via Appia Antica 60. Follow the ancient road past catacombs, tombs and villas, with time for a detour to the aqueducts. Helmets and locks are included. The original paving is scenic but bumpy, so choose your bike with care.

“If you want to experience some ancient history without mass tourism, this is a great activity. About 20 km (two-way) bike over ancient stone and passing historical places. The road is bumpy (also the paths next to the road but very doable. We passed maybe two or three other bikers. There are not much food & Drink options so bring enough water. at around 4 km there are a few paces where you can eat or drink. We can recommend Giardino di Giulia e fratelli, the most friendly people and nice food!”

The thermal springs in Saturnia and the town of Putigliano were our favourites, so scenic and wonderful. Mirko was the best tour guide we have ever had, he was so flexible in arranging everything and making it the best possible day for us, he also took some nice photos throughout the day at various locations.

Fine for me but my wife had to sit out the second half. Meeting point wasn't clearly marked. The tour representative needs to have a sign clearly showing the tour title or destination.”
