About this tour

Trade the usual day trip for a taste of Tivoli’s gardens and countryside. This 8-hour Tivoli day trip pairs a visit to Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a hands-on cooking class at a family-owned farmhouse surrounded by olive trees.

Admire Villa d’Este’s Renaissance gardens and fountains, with time to take in the scenery and capture photos. Then join a local chef at the farmhouse to prepare traditional Roman dishes using fresh local ingredients. Sit down to enjoy your meal with wine or beer for adults, in a relaxed setting far from the tourist trail. Private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle connects the day’s experiences, and Villa d’Este tickets are included.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 99 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 9.0. Top 4% in Rome means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Rome by this score.
