Explore Villa d’Este’s fountains and Villa Adriana’s ancient ruins on a Tivoli day trip from Rome with skip-the-line tickets included.

About this tour

Leave Rome behind for a day among Tivoli’s grand villas, elaborate fountains, and storied streets. This Rome Villa d’Este and Villa Adriana tour pairs skip-the-line entry with a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned, licensed vehicle and an English-speaking driver.

Begin at Villa d’Este, where you can admire its celebrated fountains and gardens. Then take time to wander Tivoli’s ancient narrow streets and enjoy a break for lunch at a local restaurant; lunch is not included. Continue to Villa Adriana, the expansive residence built by Emperor Hadrian, before returning directly to your accommodation.

Choose the private-tour-guide option for a dedicated guide at each villa, with two hours at Villa d’Este and two hours at Villa Adriana. The light option shares the vehicle with a small group of up to eight and does not include a walking guide. Both options include skip-the-line tickets to the villas. Discover two remarkable Roman-era landmarks on a Rome Villa d’Este and Villa Adriana tour, and make the most of your time in Tivoli.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 40% in Rome means it ranks in the top 40% of tours in Rome by this score.
