★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 122 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) Top rated

Review of the private Tivoli day trip from Rome, with Hadrian’s Villa, Villa d’Este, a local lunch stop, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Our excursion to Tivoli with Paolo was enjoyable and I highly recommend him as a driver. Paolo picked us up promptly and managed to arrange for us to have just the right amount of time at Hadrian's Villa and the Villa D' Este with a side trip to view the Gorge. He made reservations for our party of seven at the beautiful Ristorante Sibilla where the food was delicious. Paolo's patience, knowledge of the area, and careful driving also contributed to this pleasant and memorable experience.”

Review of Rome’s private Vatican Gardens and Museums tour, with hotel pickup, Sistine Chapel access, St. Peter’s Basilica, value, and tips.

“We were picked up in a private car at our hotel and brought directly to the Vatican. That tour lasted about 30 mins. Then after a fair walk to the Vatican Museum, then into the gardens. Wow! No words. If you have ever wanted to see these gardens in a private setting, this the way. My wife and I were guided by a member of the research staff of the Vatican archives, and she was beyond compare. It was as if the Pope would be walking around the corner at any moment. Forget the price, just do it!!!”

Review of Rome's private Tivoli tour, visiting Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este with transport, guide, lunch tips, costs, and practical advice.

“Gave the tour at four, because they turned off the water, so no fountains were running the day we went. It was no fault of the company, however. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and it was fun to hear all the stories and see what the ruins ones look like. In short, it was worth every penny.”
