Driver and car great
Though there would be a guide at sites and nothing.
Hadrian’s was very difficult to navigate and poor signage made the tour not enjoyable.
At Villa D’Este just an audio guide.
Thought a guided tour was included for the high price.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the driver and vehicle quality during your Tivoli experience.
We would however like to clarify that the tour description clearly states that this experience includes:
private transportation
entrance tickets
audioguide access inside the villas
The tour is not advertised as a fully guided tour with a licensed guide accompanying guests inside the sites. Villa Adriana (Hadrian’s Villa) is a vast archaeological complex, and many guests choose to explore it independently with the included audioguide experience.
We understand that some travelers may prefer a dedicated licensed guide for deeper historical explanations, and we are always happy to arrange this as an additional service upon request.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back again in Italy for another experience.
Warm regards,
Eternal City private and guided Tours

We had a lovely drive to the countryside with Stefano. We asked questions and he was able to answer things about landmarks along the way. The Villa Hadrian was interesting but requires a lot of vision for what was and appreciation for this region and its history. The very interesting part of this a Villa d’Este is the great care and commitment that goes into maintaining these historical sites. The gardens at Villa d’Este are the highlight. Not necessarily the Villa. But again always appreciating what came before us and what has evolved in the 5 centuries since and the efforts that go into maintaining these sites. One thing I recommend is come prepared with good walking shoes and water. Tivoli is quite nice, bustling but seems very local and great pizza at Alice’s.

Thank you so much, Whitney, for your thoughtful and detailed review!
We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the journey to Tivoli with Stefano and appreciated the insights he shared along the way. He’ll be glad to know his knowledge added to your experience.
You described Tivoli beautifully—Villa Adriana truly invites you to imagine the grandeur of the past, while Villa d’Este’s gardens are indeed the highlight, with their incredible beauty and the care that goes into preserving them
Thank you also for your helpful tips regarding comfortable shoes and water—very valuable for future travelers! And we’re glad you had the chance to enjoy the local atmosphere (and pizza).
We hope to welcome you again soon for another enriching experience in Italy!

Very interesting history at Hadrian’s Villa, beautiful fountains and gardens at Villa d’Este. Although both locations promised audioguides, there were none—which made it difficult to follow and learn about. However, there were some descriptions. Patrick was an excellent driver who was very friendly, on time and a good conversationalist.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your kind review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the fascinating history of Hadrian’s Villa and the beauty of Villa d’Este’s gardens—it’s truly a special combination.
We sincerely apologize for the missing audioguides; this is not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can improve.
It’s wonderful to hear that Patrick made your day more enjoyable with his professionalism and friendly approach—we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him!
