Why choose this Rome tour ?
Your driver will meet you on the Pier next to your ship at 8:00 AM ready to start your day onshore. On this shore excursion, you will have the unique opportunity to visit and compare two splendid villas from two different ages: Villa Adriana (Hadrian’s Villa) and Villa d’Este. Both villas are rightfully listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The enchanting Renaissance era Villa d’Este beckons you to spend a day enjoying its impressive symphony of countless fountains, grottoes, nymphs, carved stones and plays of water set in the heart of the magnificent Italian style garden. The structured landscape blends art and history in a most harmonious style reminiscent of the hanging gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world.
Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana), an elegant country retreat comprising of some 30 buildings of both sacred and secular nature constructed by Emperor Hadrian (Adriano) in the 2nd-century A.C.

What makes Tivoli Villas Private Shore Excursion for Cruisers a unique experience ?
The inside of Villa D’Este is one of the most beautiful residences of the Renaissance built by the cardinal Ippolito D’Este in the 1550s, but it is no match for the exquisite gardens that surround it.
With their concentration of unique and beautiful water features including fountains, grottoes, plays of water, nymphs, and music, guests of the Cardinal were duly impressed and amazed.
The main focal point of the garden, the giant ‘Water Organ Fountain’, flows down a huge drop into lovely, shady pools of cool water.

This imperial retreat is a stunning formation showcasing the remains of a once glorious imperial palace, baths, gardens, pools, theaters and libraries that take you back to the height of the Roman Empire.
The Villa Adriana complex is enormous with several underground passages and tunnels. There are lakes, libraries, baths, temples, theaters, apartments and gardens. With such a colossal area, it’s easy to imagine that even Hadrian himself may have needed a guide.
