Christina was, very knowledgeable and patient, there were so many crowds and she made sure we all stuck together from the beginning to the end. She kind of enough to ask and make sure we heard everything and if we needed a bathroom break, she found one that would be the most convenient. Her English was very clear and persise thank You for making the tour so enjoyable.
We enjoyed it very much, our tour guide Georgio was so nice and very knowledgeable about all the places. Really nice tour.
Thank you Sir/madam for your kind feedback our guide Giorgio will be happy of your satisfaction
Wow! This was a lot more walking than we expected! In the description, it said that we could choose to stay on the bus (but that we would miss a lot of sites). I think it should be categorized as a walking tour bc we were on the bus for 15 minutes and walked for 2 hours on a very hot day.
Wouldn't recommend it! The buses run quite rarely, stops are poorly marked and the driving assistants have no idea of anything. They always send people to other assistants! There are 3 tours offered, but two of them are only served twice a day. If you still visit the lenses, there is no way to get back. Conclusion: no recommendation!
Excellent guide was very well knowledgeable and ready to answer all our Qs Very polite and humble Thxs guide for yrs time
Green Line Tours provides horrible, unreliable bus service and will not refund dissatisfied customers. Their Representative referred to us in a racist and derogatory way and the Company ignore the complaint. Our fourteen tickets were purchased from Andre, Owner of the Gift Shop at Crowne Plaza St. Peter’s—he is also unreliable with his Shuttle Bus. He blew us off after we were stranded twice in one day by Green Line Tours. It appeared to be a SCAM.
we are sorry for this unfortunate complaint but we would like to say that we have been welcoming and hosting our tourists enthusiastically on our buses for over 40 years,!! the free bag is delivered to Eataly upon presentation of the receipt after purchasing the goods but: PER PERSON. kind regards Pina
The only positive thing about this bus is that it goes around town with the possibility to get off and on whenever you want. On the other hand, on the less touristy stops you may not be able to get on because the bus is full. The staff at the ticket office or the one on board who controls the tickets is very unpleasant. The comments at the headphones are the strict minimum and in addition does not give an indication on the place of the monument (to the right or left of the bus). The announcements of the stops are inaudible. To do this tour, take a map or follow it on the phone to locate yourself
Bonjour Monsieur , Merci pour votre review , je vais voir ,ce que c'est passe' ce jour la' , je comprends la difficultè ,et nos vous proposons de relouer , quand vous voulez gratuitement le meme tour ; J'attende vostre aimable rèponse, Merci beaucop Pina Mameli GLT
I reached out to the tour company prior to the tour and they did not respond. I sent them a message and called and received no response. Therefore I was unable to take the tour. I suggested meeting them at the location and the woman told me no, I couldn't do that. I went to the Trevi Fountain on my own and it was amazing.
Went on the Green Line bus in Rome from outside the Rome train station. A lot of scammers give you brochures so we went to Grey Lines office itself. Better service there and very helpful too. Fabulous trip around the sights of Rome. They give you a map so you can get on and off at any time with ease. Headphones were great and informative. Loved it so much we went on it 3 times. Highly recommend!
The tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgable and it was a surprise we went to the Vatican to hear the Pope speak. Pretty neat.
