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.

Excellent tour, the guide Giuseppe presents it in a calm and fun way, gives a lot of information and guides our gaze to appreciate the two villages well. Time for photos and to explore the sites after the explanations. I took the package without lunch and ended up having lunch at the same place as the others who had booked with lunch, I regretted it, I think I should have looked for options nearby, to enjoy and get to know the historic center of Tivoli a little bit...but even so it was nice.
