# Heritage Site: Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli Tour from Rome

**Guidekin's take:** Both Tivoli villas in a relaxed half day: Hadrian's sprawling imperial retreat and the fountains of Villa d'Este, with entry to each and an air conditioned ride from Rome, and hotel pickup as an option for central hotels. Transport and both entrances are included at €119 per person, food, tips and the drop off are not. The tour ends near Villa Borghese.

**Only half a day?:** Half a day: choose Tivoli's English meeting point option, with both villa entries and transport at €119 per person for 5h; no meals or hotel drop off. Trade-off: Ends near Villa Borghese; no hotel drop off. (last checked September 13, 2026)
