amazing little town

Hermosa F, Jul 2019
the guide was great and very knowledgeable. It was a small little town on the outskirts of Milan not far.

What a great day

This tour takes you to the town of Tivoli to visit Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este. Be advised that Tivoli is not a small town, so taking the train from Rome and then finding your way around Tivoli(which has an old section and a new section) can be problematic. We started off at Hadrian's Villa. I'm not much for ruins but our awesome guide Guiseppe made the place come alive. After a break for lunch (with recommendations from Guiseppe on where to eat and where to do a little shopping) it was on to Villa D'Este. This was my reason for booking this tour - to see the gardens and fountains, and I was not disappointed. I took a million photos of BOTH villas and can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Bergamo was AMAZING! I would say out of all the tours I took in Milan and surrounding areas that Bergamo was my favorite. This town in fascinating because you can see Veronian, Roman, and other styles all in one central area. The side streets are lined with houses and buildings and it is just a very nice short tour. I would have loved to have gone back and toured on my own! The one downfall is there was not enough time to eat a meal there and have a local dish!

It was a terrible day--cold and rainy. This is a gorgeous city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the town is lovely--one of my favorite in Italy.
