Itinerary
Depart at 8:00 AM from your accommodation in Rome aboard a luxury vehicle with a professional English- and Spanish-speaking chauffeur, traveling toward the historic hillside town of Tivoli, ancient Tibur, whose origins predate Rome itself. Discover millennia of history reflected in landmarks such as the Sanctuary of Hercules Victor before exploring Tivoli’s celebrated villas. Visit the vast imperial complex of Hadrian’s Villa and the artistic splendor of Villa d’Este, then admire the lush natural scenery of Villa Gregoriana. Free time is available to enjoy lunch at a traditional local restaurant (not included) before your relaxing private return to Rome.
The magnificent Hadrian’s Villa was the 2nd-century imperial residence of Emperor Hadrian, conceived as a true city spread across nearly 120 hectares. Today, visitors admire an extraordinary landscape of palaces, baths, theatres, gyms, porticoes, temples, libraries, and residential quarters that reveal the sophistication of Roman architecture. Several structures recreate monuments and places that inspired the emperor during his travels throughout the empire. Around the grand reflecting pool, elegant statues face the water rather than the viewer, creating a timeless atmosphere of harmony, reflection, and imperial grandeur.
The breathtaking Villa d’Este, built in the 16th century during the Renaissance, is a masterpiece of the Italian garden and one of the most enchanting landscapes in Tivoli. Its extraordinary terraces unfold through fountains, grottoes, nymphaea, water features, and hydraulic music that create a timeless atmosphere of beauty and wonder. Surrounded by ravines, caves, and cascading waters, the setting evokes the splendor of the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, while the sophisticated water system—fed by an aqueduct and underground tunnel—reflects the remarkable engineering legacy of ancient Rome. Please note: the villa is closed on Monday mornings and opens to visitors at 2:00 PM.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
