About
Swap the hustle and bustle of Rome for a serene half-day excursion in Tivoli, the picturesque countryside town and home to Hadrian’s Villa and the Villa d’Este, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and masterpieces of opulence and delight. The first of these ‘get away’ villas dates to the second century and the second to the Sixteenth century.
Adrian was the most widely travelled emperor as well as an amateur architect, and his Villa is full of innovative designs based on iconic places he visited throughout the Roman Empire. Villa d’Este, on the other hand, was built by Cardinal Ippolito d’Este to console himself after a failed bid for the papacy. It is best known for its incredible fountains designed by Pirro Ligorio.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- J4729ZTpatriciat0 contributionsExcellent tour!Toured the Colosseum, Forum & Palentine Hill with Maria! Incredible tour filled with facts! Maria was amazing! So sweet! Thank you so much!Written September 13, 2024
- Kauaiguest0 contributionsDelightful tourThis was an excellent tour, guided by Gerardo. We walked through the neighborhood, stopping in at particular restaurants that he had chosen for us. Lucky we didn’t have lunch beforehand because all of the servings were very substantial, and delicious. We enjoyed the little restaurants we visited, learning about them and their food, and meeting the people who ran them or owned them. Gerardo was friendly and knowledgeable and it seemed to us very well known in the neighbourhood. The tour was a delight.Written August 27, 2024
- SrividyaM140 contributionsVery knowledgeable and caring guide. Wonderful tour!Fabiana was a brilliant guide. She was kind caring and patient. She answered our endless questions so knowledgeably! We had an absolutely fabulous time. Highly highly recommended!Written July 22, 2024
- melaniesN176AE0 contributionsBeautiful Palace tour!Beautiful Palace with so much history!! The gardens are a must see! I highly recommend doing a golf cart tour of the gardens- they were gorgeous and well kept!Written July 11, 2024
- katherinecI5603OW0 contributionsBest way to see the Colosseum!We booked our private tour through Viator and operated by Love Holidays. You'll definitely need your walking shoes for this one! While it's a pretty lengthy tour with lots of walking, it was totally worth it! Our guide coordinated picking us up in a private car and getting us to the Colosseum as well as getting us through the LONG line and security extremely quickly to avoid the Easter weekend crowds. She was well versed in the overall Roman history of these sites and provided us with some great photo stops along the walking tour, taking excellent pictures of us for special memories. She was full of very interesting historical knowledge and background information without being overwhelming or boring. We visited the main two floors of the Colosseum, then we ventured out to the Arch of Constantine, climbed the Palatine and ambled through the Ancient Roman and Imperial Forums filled with temples, monuments, the burial site of Cesar, etc. It was a tour PACKED with sites and facts that we would definitely recommend to anyone looking to explore that area and history of Rome.Written April 15, 2024
- Aditya A0 contributionsInformative and fun experience at the Roman Forum and Colosseum with Pasqualino from Divine Horizon Tours.We really enjoyed the informative tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. It was a fun experience as we learned a lot about Ancient Rome. Our guide, Pasqualino, was an amazing person and he taught us a lot of the history behind the Forum and Colosseum. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time as we got to see everything that there was to offer. Overall, the 5 of us (3 kids) (2 Adults) really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good tour.Written March 24, 2024
- 127whyjerry0 contributionsEvery tour was better than the previous one!Our recent experience in Rome with Divnehorizon Tours was truly memorable. From start to finish, they delivered a personalized and immersive experience that exceeded our expectations. Alessandro our guide, was a fountain of knowledge, infusing Rome's history with passion and captivating storytelling. Divinehorizon lived up to its promise of skip-the-line access, allowing us to maximize our time at iconic sites. What set them apart was their commitment to revealing Rome's hidden treasures. We explored charming alleys, discovered local gems, and indulged in authentic cuisine. Their meticulous planning, from transportation to accommodations, ensured a hassle-free journey. The culinary journey was a highlight, with gelato, pizza, and pasta that left us craving more. Every day brought unforgettable moments, from the Trevi Fountain to the breathtaking views of Palatine Hill. In summary, they created an unforgettable Roman experience that left us in awe. If you seek an exceptional tour operator in Rome, look no further. We can't wait to explore more of Italy with them.Written October 4, 2023

- JMR_Canada0 contributionsWorst tour guide ever!I hired this tour via my hotel. It was to be uner 10 persons, but there were 11 or 12. The tour guide from the beginning had a poor attitude. She was annoyed as there were so many guests for which English was not their primary language. The paying guests were not complaining! She always walked far ahead in the crowded Vatican and recited her verbiage that we could have purchased from a book. ...but it gets worse. In the Cistene Chapel she just walk ahead not paying attention where were her psying guests. AND she left an 80 year old Asian, limited English speaking women behind. This old lady was lost and panicked and did not know what to do. This guide did not even backtrack to find her..so I spent the next 1.5 hour 'babysitting' an 80 year old to find her family. Her pathetic excuse." There were other paying customers ". Happily I found her family at the Vatican exit. The tour guide had already left the Vatican! I complained to the Tour Company as I wanted my money refunded. However, they just said this tour guide felt bad and was crying, but how about the 80 year old anxious and crying old lady? I would NEVER use or recommend this guide again, or this Tour company. I advised Hotel Baglioni Roma too as to what an uncaring, unprofessional rip-off vendor. There is no possible excuse.

- heidjers20230 contributionsDivine Horizon | Love Holidays - Great tour & general servicesWe recently took a longer trip to Italy, specifically Rome and Naples. Love Holidays/Rome Top Tours came highly recommended. We booked the following three tours with them: - Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine - Catacombs on the Appian Way &Villa dei Quintili and Capuchyn Cript - Tivoli - Villa Adriana and Villa d’Este. Additionally we asked them to manage ground transportation to and from the airport, book trains to and from Naples, and ground transportation to/from the train stations in Naples and Rome. The team was very professional and quick to respond ... even on the weekends when you thought that they might not be in the office. The cars and drivers were great and very personable. The tours were well planned and the guides knowledgeable. Cannot recommend enough.Written June 20, 2023

- D8924JAjeremys0 contributionsGreat Guide to a Great CityThis was day 1 for us in Rome and we learnt so much in a relaxed way from a great guide. It seemed that every time we turned a corner there was a new delight and rarely were we near more than half a dozen other tourists despite the throngs ! Very clever. So good we booked another tour for the next day. Great value for moneyWritten March 21, 2023
- spales20220 contributionsVatican private tour 👌👌👌What an amazing tour. Thank you Danielle I don’t think the Vatican tour would have been the same without you. We have learned so much and you made it very interesting. I am a glad we did this. Thank you again.Written December 16, 2022
- Kbrooks10600 contributionsTouring the MV with a friend.My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the Vatican Museum that we scheduled through you. The tour was made doubly enjoyable by the knowledgeable guide provided our group. I cannot remember his name but we have provided a picture. His mixture of knowledge and humor, along with sharing a bit of himself made our tour more like a walk with a friend than a lecture of information. When we found out that St. Peter's was going to be closed our guide was quickly able to adjust and take us through another group of rooms to give us a full guided experience at the MV. We will highly recommend your tour! Sincerely, Kevin and Carrie Brooks, Michigan U.S.A.Written December 13, 2022
