-Half-day tour (4 hours), including just Villa D'Este
-Full day (8hours), including Villa D'Este and Villa Adriana (Hadrian's Villa).

Going East on the motorway A 24 that follows the ancient Via Tiburtina after 30 Km ,we will reach Tivoli. At the foot of the Tiburtini hills, source of the hot springs that supply the spa town of Bagni di Tivoli, home to vast quarries of travertine marble.

We will stop to first the ruins of Villa Adriana which can only hint at the grandeur and beauty of this Villa which was built by Emperor Hadrian to remind him of the monuments and sites he had visited during his travels around the ancient Roman empire. We will see the Pecile, big Thermal Baths, the Small Thermal Baths and the Canopo.

Then we will continue to Villa D’Este. Its frescoes make it one of the most beautiful residences of the Renaissance, built by cardinal Ippolito D’Este.
The Villa’s countless fountains, set in the heart of magnificent Italian style gardens, create a delightfully graceful symphony of carved stone, shade, sunlight and water coming directly from the Aniene river.
We will see the Rometta Foutain, the Ovato Fountain, and the Dragon Fountain.

Here our tour ends and we will start our return back to Rome.
