Valentina is a great tour...

Michael_M, May 2025

Valentina is a great tour guide! She has a true passion for art history and architecture. Her English is also very good, which is important when taking a tour in a foreign country. Our driver, Paolo, was very professional, friendly, and punctual! My family and I have been to Rome many times, so we were looking for an off the beaten path excursion. We were so fortunate to have found this tour of Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este. Both sites remain hidden gems of Roman history, art, and architecture and are underrated. Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana), as the name suggests, was built by the Emperor Hadrian. He is best known for Hadrian’s Wall. Hadrian’s Villa is a remarkable example of early Roman architecture, and Villa d’Este is a testament to the beauty of Renaissance architecture and the ingenuity of Renaissance engineering. The gardens and especially the many fountains of Villa d’Este are truly magical. If you and your family are looking to experience Roman architectural marvels other than the Colosseum and Pantheon, I’d recommend that you take this tour. There is a lot of walking though, but you and your family will not be disappointed!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are truly grateful to hear your kind word and delighted that you and your family enjoyed the tour and appreciate Valentina’s knowledge and guidance. It means a lot to know that the tour met your expectations. Valentina and Paolo will be happy to hear your kind feedback. It was a pleasure to host you and your family and we hope to have you again in the future.

Quite expensive

Monette_B, Jun 2022

Except for being expensive, our tour guide and driver were exceptional. It would have been more reasonable if it included a light snack since it was 6 hrs altogether.

This Is An UnderValued Tourist Attraction which should not be missed.

Peter_J, Jul 2019

The tour guide and driver were great and they did a very good job in getting us to/from Rome and the attractions. The tour guide was able to tailor to what we expected to see in the places we were visiting. As I have mentioned in another review of a tour on Viator, it is MUCH better to hire a private tour guide and driver because you get the experience of the tour you would not get on a group tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Thank you so much for your feedback! It is indeed an undervalued attraction and we are looking forward to promote it in every possible way! Arrivederci!
