Overview

Join this private day trip from Rome and head to beautiful Tivoli, where two gorgeous gardens await: Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este. Your expert guide will greet you at your hotel, before you're whisked across the countryside in a private car toward Tivoli.

First, you'll enjoy a full tour of the remarkable Hadrian's Villa. What began as Emperor Hadrian's summer home became his main residence — and it's easy to see why. Hadrian's Villa has everything an Emperor would need: a theater on water, a recreation of a pleasure-resort, and more statues than you can wave a stick it. Hadrian's Villa inspired great artists like Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael — it's sure to inspire you too.

Next, head to Villa d'Este, the most beautiful garden in Italy, if not the world. See over 100 waterfalls that decorate this magnificent garden, all propelled by gravity to astonishing heights. With your expert guide, you'll discover the history of thwarted ambition which inspired this beautiful garden.
