    We chose this tour to avoid the crowds & heat of Rome which we have done. We gave this a 5 not for the gardens that were lacking or the empty villa but our driver Mirko . He saved the day with his vision of his country from vistas to towns& watched over us like a guardian Angel as my knees are weak. To Viator going to Tuscania was a fairytale if u gave lunch in one of those charming places& wine tasting u have a perfect tour. To our Mirko May angels guard & keep you for you are a joyful Italian we call friend !

    Beautiful tour of relatively unknown treasures of Western history and art. Idyllic rolling landscape of the countryside makes for a pleasurable drive. Andrea our driver was courteous, very knowledgeable and accommodated our needs. All in all a very enjoyable and memorable day.

    Palazzo Farnese is amazing. Brilliant frescoes cover the walls and the Royal staircase is stunning. I have never seen anything like this before. And everything went extremely smoothly. We were picked up by a white Mercedes with a very knowledgeable and helpful driver _ Andrea. He told us all about the history of the Farnese Palace and about the countrydide we travelled through. This included crops grown, an Etruscan aqeduct, villas passed and a lake. As much of Viterbo was closed due to an upcoming public holiday he offered us a great alternative_ a visit to the Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia_ a UNESCO world heritage site. And for lunch he took us to a small restaurant serving locally produced food. The trip was superb and excellent value for money.

    Villa Lante

    Villa Lante is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Italian sixteenth century (22 hectares). Its extraordinary peculiarity is the predominance of the garden compared to the architectural building: the residence splits into two small twin buildings symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the garden that dominates the entire composition across the water path. The water comes from a triumph of geometries designed by evergreen hedges and peperino statues and follows a path that creates special basins and water games.
