Activity details
PICK UP TIME Suggested 7:30 am to avoid big crowds at least in the first part of the morning (it is flexible so you can decide when). Back to the port at 4:30 pm (with plenty of time not to miss the ship)
APPIAN WAY After about a 1.5 hours’ drive we will get to the spot. Walk on the first road ever built
by human beings.
CATACOMBS Your English speaking driver will drive you here to explore this underground world. You’ll be with other English Speaking people as well who accompany you into the tunnels along with a guide that works directly for the Catacombs! The visit will last around 45 minutes. Guided tour included in the 8 euro p/p ticket.
TIME FOR LUNCH We suggest something quick in tivoli, to get on our way.
TIVOLI WITH VILLA D’ESTE After around a 60-minutes’ drive we will reach Tivoli, and as stated, before seeing the Villa you will get something quick to eat. Villa d’Este is for sure amazing and its gardens make it one of the most visited places on earth! You could easily spend the entire day in its gardens, but you will have the chance to touch just a part of it unless you decide to extend the duration of the tour!
FLEXIBILITY: Of course, the tour itinerary is flexible and you canb decide to see Castel Gandolfo instead of Tivoli then drive back into Rome for the visit to the catacombs and Appian way. You can also visit first Tivoli (or Castel Gandolfo) and then to Rome
Ride back to the port, aiming at arriving by 04:30 pm
