Such a stunning and fascinating tour - certainly one of the top highlights of our trip to Rome. It was the perfect mix of history and beauty. Monica was a fantastic and extremely knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed listening to her. It was also a comfortable and short bus ride there and back, which we really appreciated after having a super long and tiring tour the day before.

Hadrians Villa amazing archaeological site. Beautiful water features in gardens at Villa d Este. All in the countryside only 45 minutes outside Rome. Laura was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

The Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa tour was very good. Our tour leader was knowledgeable and interesting, she made the tour great.! However the tour of Villa d’Este was a big disappointment as the fountains were all turned off.

A couple arrived a half hour late because their car (arranged by the tour) from the hotel had a flat tire. So our tour was shortened for a half hour as we sat and waited on the bus for them to arrive. Disappointing to say the least.
