Suggested tour of Tivoli: An English speaking driver and an air-conditioned vehicle will be at your disposal for up to 4 hours as you enjoy a guided tour of the Villa D'Este. More than 2000 years ago Tivoli was surrounded by a luscious countryside. Its closeness to Rome, abundance of healthful waters, and its cool climate attracted many wealthy Romans who loved to spend their holidays here. The Villa D'Este in Tivoli was the brainchild of one man, the powerful and ambitious Cardinal Ippolito D'Este who during the 1500's set out to transform an old Benedictine convent into a new garden of Eden with more than 200 fountains laid out on sloping terraces and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Some of the most imposing fountains have just been restored, like The Fontana dell'Organo which has a water-operated organ inside that delivers music as water flows through the fountain, or "Le Fontane di Tivoli e Roma", that features a small scale reproduction of the two cities. Villa d'Este is the perfect escape in the hot summertime. Enjoy the coolness of waterfalls and sit in the shade of mighty ancient cypresses as you unwind in this heavenly place. Evening at leisure. Dinner options available. Overnight at the hotel.

Enjoy a Private gondola tour of Venice. This one of the quintessential things to do for most tourists visiting the city. The Gondola is as unique as Venice itself; their crescent-shaped hulls and their “forcole” that allow the  Gondolieri to position their oars in many different ways are the secrets to how these long and slender crafts can navigate the narrow and intricate network of waterways of Venice. On this private gondola tour of Venice you will visit parts of the city that are only accessible by this means of transport, and as you glide silently along these inviting waterways, dominated by soaring and majestic Venetian Palaces, you will be transported back in time to when the main means of transportation for Venetian nobility were these vessels.
