The visit to Hadrian's Villa was beautiful because of the size and majesty of the site. Very few visitors despite the fact that we were on a vacation period. Very well maintained site. A real journey through time. The descriptions of the headout audio guide listened to at breaks in the walk were very comprehensive. Villa d'Este very beautiful. Again unfortunately very few visitors so the skip-the-line ticket was practically an extra here as well. We were expecting more working water features. Disappointment with the complete absence of water inside the villa where there are numerous fountains and spouts. Overall we had a great time visiting Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este also thanks to the directions in the headout app.

There was no line. We got in right away, the only thing there should be small machines that bring back elderly people who get too tired and free access to the elevator. At the end of the 4-hour visit there is no steep stairs, and I am told by the bar operators that the elevator could not be used.

The atmosphere here was bubbly, the DEste mansion is well preserved but the beauty of its gardens with the many fountains and with the colors of the flowers is what I preferred. Not even a minute of queuing with the skip-the-line ticket

My guide was a knowledgeable historian, born and raised in Rome. She was generous with her time and knowledge. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The sequence of the sites visited made sense.

Both Villa of Emperor Hadrian and the Villa D’Este are lesser known places around Rome, but they are beautiful and not something that you miss.

I was in a very large queue for tickets, hardly moving. I then saw people entering with their phones so Googled entry tickets. Within 4 minutes I was in the grounds of the villa. No hassle, no waiting and worth every cent of the service charge
