Rome to Tivoli
 
Has anyone visited Tivoli from Rome? Can you tell me the best way to get there, how long it takes, and cost?<BR><BR>I’ve done some reading on Tivoli, and it looks beautiful. What were the best parts, must-sees? Thanks!<BR><BR>- Alice

I've wanted to visit there too, but I have one spare day and then I want to see the villa borghese and/or Tivoli. Has anyone done it? Is there enough time for both? I would think not.

during my last trip to italy, i stayed at the d. inghelterra near the spanish<BR>steps where they offered tours. we did take the tour from rome to the tivoli<BR>gardens. we also stopped to see the villa of adrian. i really enjoyed tivoli; very beautiful. we left rome at 3 and returned at 8; it was a long tour<BR>but definitely worth it.

so it is conceivable that I can see the villa borghese in the morning and do the afternoon tour.<BR><BR>if you don't mind, which tour company did you use and how much was it? were they knowledgeable

Go to www.twenj.net click-on "Rome" and then "Excursions" on the sidebar. Those are my directions from a Nov99 trip-report, "Let's Go Rome 2002" still has the same directions so I'm sure they are still valid. Regards, Walter

i do not remember the name of the tour<BR>company; if i find the name with the <BR>info. in the next few days i will forward it to you. we arranged the tour the day before with our concierge.<BR>they arrange for a van to pick up those<BR>in the vacinity and they take you to the<BR>main location of the tour co. where you pay and board the assigned bus. i believe that the cost for 2 was $75 usd.<BR>(for the villa of adrian and tivoli).<BR>hope this helps.

The tour company is Appian Line and they have a PM tour that takes about 4 hours. It is worth doing.
