Stellar experience, highly recommend!

Paolo was really friendly and thoughtful. He picked us up and had water prepared for us. The drive to Tivoli was pleasant and he was really respectful of our times to discover, get coffee, explore…. His communication was perfect throughout! After the visit, he suggested one of the nicest restaurants I’ve been to in Italy, established in 1720. The scenery was beautiful and he patiently waited for us to be done before graciously coming back and driving us back to the city. The entire experience was one of the highlights of my trip in Italy!

Beautiful Day in Tivoli

Great tour and great guide. Giovanni picked us up on time and took us to Tivoli. Casa D'Este was our first stop and it was beautiful The gardens and fountains were amazing. Giovanni took us on a short walk through the street and alleys and pointed out some beautiful buildings. We was able to recommend a beautiful restaurant for lunch situated on a cliff next to a roman temple with a view of a waterfall and the valley below. Really enjoyed our very relaxing day in Tivoli. Would highly recommend this tour if you want a relaxing day in the countryside.

Absolutely Wonderful! WELL WORTH IT!

Half Day Tour to Tivoli - Perfect!

So close to Rome, no one should miss Tivoli. Our driver, Ricardo was very well versed on the area. After our tour of Ville E'ste (a private for the Villa was not necessary. We purchased the audio guide for 8 Euros each), Ricardo told us of a local restaurant which turned out to be perfect. Perched on top of the village, next to ancient ruins we had a wonderfully, leisurely lunch. Perfect! Ask for Ricardo Giaccari of Italy Best Excursions.
