Overview
This is a privately escorted tour of the Tivoli Gardens and Hadrian's Villa. The tour will start with us meeting you at your hotel in Rome or your cruise ship. We will then take a relaxing drive through the Lazio region. This tour will help you understand why Villa D'Este is the most prominent and famous among tourists. You will be amazed by the breathtaking gardens, which include around 500 jets, fountains, and pools. The Villa's uppermost terrace ends in a balustrade balcony, offering a sweeping view of the plain below. Symmetrical double flights of stairs flank the central axis leading to the next garden terrace, with the Grotto of Diana to one side and the central Fontana del Bicchierone to the other. The fountain is loosely attributed to Bernini, where water issues from a seemingly natural rock into a scrolling shell-like cup.
The second part of the day will be dedicated to exploring Villa Adriana, which was built as a retreat for Roman Emperor Hadrian during the 2nd century AD. Hadrian was said to dislike the palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome, leading to the construction of this retreat. Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) was a complex of over 30 buildings, covering an area of about 1 KM2 (c. 250 acres), of which much is still unexcavated. The complex includes palaces, a theatre, temples, libraries, state rooms, and quarters for courtiers, praetorians, and slaves.
The tour will end at your hotel in Rome.
