Overview
This tour of Tivoli and Hadrian's villa is a great options for those who have already experienced Rome and want to visit one of Italy's most fantastic gardens and the pleasures of the Lazio region which in its own right is a remarkable territory and region to explore.
Our driver on this tour will meet you at your cruise ship to begin our journey along the Ancient Appian Way passing the catacombs and vineyards, winding our way up to the hill-top town of Tivoli which offers incredible views of the Lazio region in all directions.
Once at Tivoli, you will have the opportunity to visit Hadrian's Villa, which was one of the largest and most luxurious palaces of the Roman Empire. The Emperor Hadrian himself ordered and supervised the building of his villa.
From here, we will proceed to Villa d'Este that boasts one of the finest Baroque gardens in all Italy with incredible waterworks and hundreds of gurgling fountains that are the primary attractions of this stupendous summer villa, which was built in 1550 for Cardinal Ippolito D'Este, son of the infamous Lucrezia Borgia.
A magical villa where five hundred fountains keep tons of flowing water running continuously. The courtyard which now corresponds to the present entrance of the villa was the cloister of a Benedictine convent that was incorporated in the monumental building of the villa.
After a beautiful day in the Roman countryside, we will head back to Civitavecchia where we guarantee you safe arrival in time for your ship's departure.
