About this tour

Two ancient towns, two worlds of beauty — a day of fountains, villas, and papal gardens.

Escape the city for an unforgettable journey to Tivoli and Castel Gandolfo, two of the most enchanting towns near Rome.
You can choose to visit either Villa d’Este, with its legendary gardens and Renaissance fountains, or Villa Adriana, the vast imperial residence of Emperor Hadrian — a UNESCO World Heritage site that brings ancient Rome’s grandeur to life.
The day continues at Castel Gandolfo, where the sapphire waters of Lake Albano and the tranquil Papal Gardens of the Barberini Palace await.
Accompanied by your private guide, you’ll explore history, art, and nature — and taste the authentic flavours of the Roman countryside.

Meet your private driver and guide at your hotel and set off for a relaxing countryside journey through the Roman hills towards Tivoli.

Explore either the Renaissance splendour of Villa d’Este with its 500 fountains or the grand ruins of Emperor Hadrian’s vast villa — both UNESCO World Heritage sites rich in history and beauty.

Enjoy a short stroll through the charming historic centre of Tivoli, with its panoramic views, cobbled streets, and local cafés — the perfect spot for memorable photos.

Travel through the scenic Alban Hills, a region of vineyards and lakes, as you head towards Castel Gandolfo, the summer retreat of the Popes.

Savour authentic Italian cuisine in a traditional trattoria overlooking Lake Albano — a peaceful and picturesque break before your afternoon visits.

Discover the beautifully landscaped Papal Gardens by electric minibus, learning about their history, sculptures, and botanical treasures during a relaxing guided tour.
