Both sites are stunning in their own way. Villa Adriana exceeded our expectations - the features can only be fully appreciated in person. The fountains at Villa d'Este unfortunately started their closure on the day we arrived, which we knew in advance. The villa interiors are beautiful and the detail of the fountains was still spectacular. We will plan to visit the gardens when the water is operating.

We took a taxi to and from Villa D'Este. Convenience won. The gardens and fountains are what we came to see and they did not disappoint. They are lovely and unique and completely worth the trip. Lots of shade on a hot day. Wonderful to be able to just stop for a drink of icy cold water at the fountains. A spectacular sight.

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.

I really can't review this because we wound up not taking the tour, but we should have. Instead we took the train from Roma Tiburtina to Tivoli. I had expected that we would be able to take taxis in Tivoli--after all, it's a major tourist attraction--but that turns out to be impossible to do. We wound up visiting the Villa d'Este, a long walk from the train station, and we enjoyed our visit. We never got to the Villa Adriana (although there is a city bus that goes there,we didn't take it). So, as I wrote, it would have been much better to have taken this tour. We reserved several days in advance, and, as opposed to some other tours we had booked, this one was non-cancellable, so we were simply out the money we had paid for it (and it was not cheap).

Such a beautiful place, but what wasn't communicated before I paid for these tickets was that at Villa D'Este, there is NO waterfalls or fountains. right now. None. There was only two large ponds full of water. It's a beautiful place with the gardens obviously, but the point is seeing the waterfalls as that's why it's a UNESCO site. Disappointing from that perspective and should have been mentioned upon purchasing.

The villas were nice and I enjoyed walking around them. However, the audioguides could have more information. The audios are short and not very informative. The point of an audioguide is to *guide* you in your self-directed tour not just give you very brief information about a few things.
