The Treasures of Rome

Great tour, a nice overview of city highlights. The only disappointment was that the tour did not include the interior of St. Peter's Basilica. We have since recommended this tour to everyone we know who is going to Rome. People just need to be aware that there is quite a bit of walking in the city center.

This was the worst of all the tours. When we bought the ticket, we double checked that the 3 hr tour did not cover the Vatican area which we had just covered the previous day. The Viator person assured us that the Vatican area would not be covered and Spanish steps would but we were lied to.

Great. Our tour guide knew all about the colosseum and even did some of the excavation work there!

The first part of the tour, the walking tour was wonderful. Very friendly and informative guide. The second part they have you wait for an hour or two before the second part, was terrible. Our guide for the Parthenon did not speak very good English and she was quite rude. We got a refund for this.

Unfortunately I arrived 15 minutes late due to transportation issues. I tried to find out where I could catch up with the group but the people at Green Line Tours were quite cut and dry, most uncaring. I asked where they were offering the lunch which I had paid for and that's how I was able to find them. I had to buy another Hop on hop off tour until lunch time. The tour guide Max was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant with a great sense of humor. He took us to the Coloseum and went through it with so much detail. We also went to see the beautiful statue of Moses and St. Peter's supposed chains.

There were only 4 people on this tour. Two individuals who spoke Chinese who had their own interpreter and my daughter and myself who had our own interpreter. You would think this would be ideal with lots of interaction and personal information from the tour guide however, our tour guide would tell us a few details then step aside and be on her phone texting. She seemed very indifferent to us or to making our tour a memorable one.

a trip of a life time! The group was small and the guide was well informed! You get to see many things that i would never have found on my own. Love it

What a fun day, we like to take the tours on our first day in town to get our bearings. We say so many interesting sites. It would have been nice to have a little more time in St. Peters Square, which we could have opted for but would have had to find our own transport back to the city center.

Our first tour of the trip and it was amazing! What a guide and what a city - so beautiful. On the morning tour you will see all the highlights of Classical Rome and you'll walk mostly hopping on and off the bus twice. This is the way to do it if your time is limited and even if you are staying a month or a lifetime I would definitely recommend it. Just wandering the streets with a local who loves this place is fantastic. You will see the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon and all the important squares etc. and get a feel for classical, gorgeous, Rome. We took this tour on Boxing Day right after Christmas and I was very confused when I booked it because many comments referred to visits to the Vatican despite the fact that it was not mentioned in the description of this tour. We did enter Vatican City briefly on the tour but the museum, Basilica, and Sistine Chapel we closed because of the holiday. This was good for us because I think we got to spend more time in the city of Rome as I had hoped and we had a tour of the Vatican scheduled for later in the week. The Vatican portion of the tour is something that causes a bit of confusion but I assume this tour often gives you a bit of time in St. Peter's Basilica. In any case, bring your own set of earbuds just in case the ones they give you don't work properly and have a blast!! We also took the Afternoon Ancient Tour Of Rome that you could add to this tour and it was the only tour I found a bit disappointing. Be aware you will not get to walk through the Roman Forum as I assumed we would. We enjoyed it however and did see the ruins of course but had little detailed explanation. You do have to wait as the guide buys tickets for the Coliseum but we were prepared for that as we had read reviews here. If time is limited add this part of the tour most definitely! A nighttime tour might be a bit better.

No so great, all the places covered would have been easily covered on our own, but our guide was great
