Explore Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este on a private 8-hour drive from Rome through the scenic Lazio countryside.
About this tour
Leave Rome behind for a private drive through the Lazio countryside to Tivoli, where two remarkable villas reveal different chapters of history. Your English-speaking chauffeur takes you to Hadrian’s Villa, the expansive retreat of an Ancient Roman emperor, and Villa d’Este, celebrated for its Renaissance-era gardens. Both sites are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Travel between the villas in a private, air-conditioned deluxe Mercedes-Benz vehicle, with bottled water on board. The day is designed for independent exploration: admission tickets, a tour guide, and a walking tour are not included, so you can discover each site at your own pace. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as exploring the villas involves walking; rainy weather can also leave puddles and mud.
Pickup and drop-off are provided at your hotel or other accommodation in Rome. Share your pickup location when booking, then enjoy a convenient countryside escape with time to experience two of Tivoli’s most distinctive historic estates. Choose this Tivoli Villas and Gardens private driver tour for a relaxed day trip from Rome.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 35% in Rome means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Rome by this score.
