Rome Photo Fun Tours’ motto is QUALITY over quantity. That's why our tours are for two people, or four if booked as a group.
You will benefit from the undivided attention of a professional ready to lead you and answer all your questions during a photo workshop going from the outstanding Hadrian Villa to the elegance of a Villa d'Este, surrounded by lush vegetation adorned with fountains and water games.
Such a well-planned one-day journey is the perfect opportunity for a calm full-immersion photo workshop that, spanning from the golden hour to the blue hour, will fulfill your desire to portray art, nature, Roman architecture, and landscape photography.
The over a hundred 5-star reviews lauding my professionalism and friendliness are my best business cards.
If this tour is not available on the date you want to book it, it is because I will be on one of my 7-day photography workshops in Tuscany, Umbria, Apulia, or Rome and surrounding areas, offered with Italy Photo Fun Tours.

Itinerary
1
In the morning mist of the countryside, amongst olive trees, Mediterranean pines and tall cypresses we will take advantage of the Golden Hour to shoot photos of the well preserved ancient ruins immersed in the vast park that once was the luxurious villa of the famous Roman emperor Hadrian.
In a sort of out of time atmosphere, we will photograph the fantastic swimming pools, buildings, baths, fountains, temples and even a theatre still witnessing the greatness of ancient Rome in terms of architecture, landscaping, and engineering.
Duration: 3 hours
2
Villa d'Este
Then, making a jump in time of about fifteen hundred years (the Hadrian villa was built around 120 a.C. while Villa d'Este works started around 1560) we will proceed to Villa d'Este.
Here the photography setting will be completely different, but not less amazing and fascinating than the one of the morning tour. In fact Villa d’Este rooms and ceilings are all adorned by beautiful frescos and painting. From the elegant interiors, we will then go visit the famous lush Italian Garden surrounding the Baroque building to photograph the many fountains, the beautiful grottos, and the manicured park.
Duration: 3 hours
