Outstanding Tour! - We recently visited Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este with Brandon, who was absolutely outstanding! He is a doctoral student, who didn't just relay the history of the sights we were seeing, he brought them to life! One of the best tour guides we've ever had. Brandon also took us to an outstanding local restaurant for lunch. Both villas are very interesting and beautiful in different ways and we highly recommend this tour and this tour company!

Amazing & Memorable Tivoli Day Trip - We had a fantastic day exploring Villas in Tivoli with Brandon! A classical student of everything Greek and Latin, he made this tour fun and educational. Roman history came alive for all three of us (Grandma, Mom and daughter). While strolling the grounds of Hadrian’s expansive estate, Brandon gave us background on Hadrian, the emperors of Rome, architecture and so much more. Brandon picked a wonderful local restaurant where we lunched family style and relaxed before setting off to Villa D’Este. It was a very hot day in Rome and we felt lucky to escape to Tivoli where we walked in the footsteps of the ancients. Brandon is an excellent tour guide and photographer. He captured many memorable family photos on the tour. We highly recommend the tour and especially Brandon!

A special day in Tivoli to remember!!! - We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Guia and our day was incredible. The villas in Tivoli are gorgeous and so incredible to see. Guia was a perfect guide! She easily adapted to our pace and told us such wonderful stories. She was was easily one of our favorite guides of a 3 week Mediterranean trip full of private tours. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a very special day trip outside of Rome. From the ruins of Hadrian’s Villa and all of the stories there to the absolutely stunning views of the gardens in Villa d Este…it was purely a magical day for just the two of us with Guia as our wonderful guide. Lunch at Sibilla was delicious and just so beautiful. Just book this tour…you won’t regret it!! Memories from Tivoli to last a lifetime!

Through Eternity was worth every dollar. - Our experience with Through Eternity started with the ease of making the reservation. The chat feature on their website was usually answered live, but if I sent a message after business hours, I got a reply back soon. We asked to change the day for our tour and Through Eternity was able to accommodate us. My wife and I did this tour today, everything about it was first class. Our guide, John Tinto, met us in our hotel lobby on time and our comfortable Mercedes was outside. John gave us commentary about the things we were passing on the way to Tivoli. Hadrian’s Villa originally covered an area bigger than Pompeii, about half of which you can see today. We did not miss any of it and John’s commentary and knowledge of history allowed us to paint a mental picture of what it would’ve looked like then. After Hadrian we stopped for lunch a a place recommended by our driver. Excellent pizza and no tourists. While Hadrian’s was in ruins, Villa d’Este was in much the same shape it was when it was built. I was prepared for beautiful gardens, but what was most impressive were the still working fountains. The view from the foot of the gardens was stunning. Wear comfortable shoes on this trip as there is a lot of walking and some climbing of stairs and hills, but if this 72 year old guy can do it, so can you. Highly recommended.

Exceptional private day tour of Tivoli- both villas & lunch at Sybilla. - We were searching for a last minute tour of the two villas in Tivoli and couldn’t have been more happy with the prompt, professional and informative experience we had with Through Eternity Tours. We have traveled around the world and John Tinto, our guide, was the most exceptional guide we have ever had- extremely knowledgeable, kind, professional, and experienced. He speaks English like a native and has a plethora of knowledge of the area and ability to connect his knowledge to other cultures past & present. The driver was also excellent and we had a comfortable ride in a midsize Mercedes. Through Eternity really pulled through to create an excellent tour at the last minute as we booked the tour at 17:00 for an entire day the following day.

Great way to finish our trip - Our group of six seniors were picked up at our hotel and toured Tivoli for the day before being taken to the airport hotel. The sights were great, lunch was fabulous and the guide interesting.
