Took the tour in March so we were onlu 6 people and the guide and the villas were not crowded at all. The guide (Giusepe) was great and I really enjoyed the tour. I didn't include the lunch and found a different restaurant in the area and then gelato (gelateria cactus). The break for lunch was a bit long because the shops were closed for siesta so not much to do, but I didn't feel like I needed more time for the villas- we had plenty of time to hear great explanations from the guide and to walk around alone and take photos.

This is one of the best tours I've done in Italy. The meeting place was clear and the bus arrived on time. We met our guide at Hadrian's Villa. Giuseppe was the best! His knowledge of both Hadrian's Villa, Villa d'Este and Tivoli was excellent, the history was very interesting and he made it fun too. Lunch at the Trattoria in Tivoli was also excellent. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, “Giuseppe” (Joseph) was absolutely outstanding, he is from the Tívoli area and is a local so he was extremely knowledgeable. The tour moved along at a pleasant rate and everything was well explained, I even learned a little italiano on the tour. Bus ride there and back was comfortable. Easy Peasy, both locations were spectacular. The meet up location was clearly explained, but it was along Via Cavour, outside at the bus stop which threw some of the people (who were looking for an actual business). Other than that, it was perfect.
