I am a little know it all and read everything prior to this trip. the guide however is very VERY good. I saw all the highlights that was on my list. I especially liked the free time that the guide allowed for each location. Marzia is the best!”

Visit Villa Gregoriana Park in Tivoli with a timed entrance ticket to the 19th-century waterfall, grottoes of Neptune, and ancient ruins.

“The nature is amazing even though it is mid December. As nature and hiking lovers, we enjoyed the trail and all its uphills and downhills. There were some incredible viewpoints that made us think about the history of that place. That wise, we got many answers while watching the film at the end of the tour, which I think is priceless for people who like learning new facts.

In general,…”
