Tivoli – Villa d’Este & Hadrian’s Villa, Italy

Tivoli: Hadrian’s Villa & Villa d’Este

7 hoursmoderateMax 16 peopleFree cancellation
Fountains and a pool in the gardens of Villa d'Este in Tivoli

Tivoli offers a contrast to the crowded centre of Rome. On this day tour you visit both of its UNESCO sites in comfort.

The morning is at Hadrian’s Villa, where your guide describes the emperor’s architectural taste and the layout of the huge retreat. In the afternoon, Villa d’Este shows off the Renaissance love of water and gardens.

There is time for lunch in the hill town. Because both sites involve walking and steps, wear comfortable shoes. Check current details when you enquire.
