Roma in auto: Tivoli UNESCO, Villa d'Este e Villa Adriana

A great way to visit Tivoli with Villa d'Este, Villa Adriana, and the waterfall in Tivoli! Simone was an amazing and helpful driver - communicated super well, brought us drinks and pastries, arrived early/promptly at every stop, knew much about the region, and even had a phone his clients can borrow to reach him! Would gladly book his tours again and again! Thanks so much, Simone :)

We had a great day trip with Simone. He arranged to meet us as at an easy location a short metro ride from central Rome. He can pick you up from your hotel if pre-arranged. Simone was very knowledgeable about not only where we visited but other parts of the history of Rome. He also ensured there was water and soft drink for us. Tivoli Unesco Villa D'este & Hadrian Villa were both amazing. The archaeological ruins of Hadrian Villa were fantastic. The grounds of Villa D’este were something to see. The number of fountains is a site to see. I would highly recommend this tour with Simone.

Simone, our driver was very informative and very pleasant to spend the day with. If we wanted to spend 15 minutes or 3 hours at a place it was entirely up to us. It was not a rigid tour where you’re rushed and know you were missing out on seeing everything. My wife and I got to spend hours at both Villa d’Este and Villa Adriana. Simone had recommendations for an authentic restaurant for lunch, which was excellent. This was our 4 th trip to Rome and we will be booking Simone every time in the future. The cost of this day with a private car and driver was the same as one of those rushed bus tours where you spend most of your time on a bus. You won’t be sorry booking Simone’s services.

Do not, I repeat do not book a bus tour if this tour is available. In fact, go to his site and see his other available options before booking everything for your trip. A bus tour will never beat this experience. This was by far one of our favorite experiences of our Roma trip and we just happened to do it on our last day. Hadrian’s Villa was our favorite part, but we also loved seeing the waterfalls, which was an added bonus. By booking a private tour, you get so much additional time to see these things. And Hadrian’s Villa is definitely worth seeing and it’s HUGE. It was amazing. The whole day was amazing. Seriously though. Check out his other tour options as well and if you can book with his schedule, DO IT. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, Simone!

Awesome day out! Contact from Simone the day before to offer a collection closer to our hotel. Soft drinks and snacks offered in the car. Simone was very knowledgeable about local history and suggested other places for us to visit during our stay. Smooth journey to Hadrian’s Villa and we were able to take our time looking round and Simone was there when we were finished. Then we were driven to the amazing Grande Cascata di Tivoli waterfall. Simone recommended a restaurant in Tivoli for lunch and called ahead to ensure they had a table. After a leisurely lunch we headed to Villa d’Este which was fascinating. Then Simone met us again and drove us back to Rome near our hotel. A fabulous and very memorable day with a great guide, highly recommend!

We are so happy we got the chance to do this experience while visiting Rome! Simone was very knowledgeable, friendly, and created an excellent itinerary. We felt that we had enough time to see everything at both villas and everything was taken care of. He also provided a great recommendation for lunch and took us to see the waterfall! If you are wanting to venture out of Rome for the day and see beautiful Tivoli, we highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day visiting Tivoli and Villa D'Este. Simone/Simi was a wonderful host and conversationalist, describing the scenery and sites we were visiting and generally answering our many questions. He exceeded our expectations for the trip, even inviting us for a morning coffee and croissant, making a special stop along the way to see Tivoli from a different perspective, and directing us toward a favorite local pizzeria.

This was a wonderful experience . Our driver was so nice and informative. We had heard getting to Tivoli and to Hadrian’s Villa could be a real challenge, but our driver made it effortless. We Spent the morning at Hadrian’s Villa mostly alone wandering through the ruins and gardens with an excellent audio guide. In the afternoon the gardens of Villa D’Este were beautiful contrast. Then we were back in Rome in a flash. We would recommend this tour and especially our driver, Simone, to anyone.

Simone was an outstanding guide for the general areas of Rome and Tivoli and knew how to get us from one place to another with a minimum of fuss and much good humor and advice. At all times we felt like our satisfaction was the most important thing in the world. He is knowledgeable, kind, and flexible, and will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. Don’t hesitate to book him, and ask him about custom tours. He’s worth every euro. Oh, and Hadrian’s Villa and Villa D’Este were both wonderful in different ways - but we wouldn’t have gotten there without Simi.

This tour was really good and we learned a lot of things! Gino was an excellent driver, who picked us up on exactly right time and place! He was talking all the time, telling us facts and jokes in a really nice way! We could use all the time we needed to look at the marvellous, stunning villas! And we spent an hour in Tivoli shops as well! After the tour we got a little surprise and a lot of ideas about how to spend time in Rome! We highly recommend this to everyone!
