Hey all, trying to figure out logistics for a day trip from Rome to Tivoli using public transportation, to visit both Hadian's Villa and Villa d'Estate. Everything I'm reading is from years ago and just wanted to make sure it isn't outdated.
From my understanding I can take Metro Line B (blue line) to the Ponte Mammolo station and from there take a Cotral bus heading to Tivoli or I can take a regional train directly from Roma Termini to Tivoli. Once in Tivoli, can take a shuttle bus to Hadrian's Villa or a taxi? Unsure where this shuttle bus would be. Are both of those routes feasible or is one preferred over the other? I am unsure the frequency of any of these trains or buses. Basically would love the most simple way to do this without a car, although we may succumb to doing a 1 day rental car for this trip if it'll make our lives way easier. I like the idea of the guided tour from Rome, but all the ones I saw only provide 1.5-2 hour visits at each site which seems rather short (we generally like to take our time).
